Jake Ciely’s 5×5 rankings, auction values and projections (Updates every time there’s a big move) Our fully customizable 2022 rankings cheat sheet generator by Jake Ciely, Al Melchior and Dom Luszczyszyn (Updates every time there’s a big move)

Nando Di Fino, Brandon Funston, Eno Sarris, Jake Ciely, Michael Salfino, Al Melchior, Gene McCaffrey, Virginia Zakas, Greg Jewett, Ian Kahn, Joel Piñeiro, Michael Waterloo, John Laghezza and Michael Kurland. We hope you enjoy this year’s kit, we encourage you to leave comments or questions throughout the columns, and we wish you the best of luck as we wrap up draft season! What you see below is a live and ever-expanding draft kit - we’ll have over 100 columns by the time games start, with everything from staples (rankings) to tools (the customizable cheat sheet) to the thought-provoking originals (start at Laghezza’s ADP volatility hypothesizing, if you dare). His work last year helped identify some gems by the end of March, including Cedric Mullins. Mike picks up trends and changes that 99 percent of us don’t, and it turns into actionable fantasy advice. You may think spring training doesn’t matter, and in this instance you’d be wrong.

Calling him a “lineup guru” doesn’t do him service, but he first caught our attention when he was sharing Google docs of lineup analysis on Twitter and reddit. Mike Kurland is someone you’re going to love - especially when spring training begins. If you didn’t read him when he was with us for the 2020 preseason…well… we’re not sure how to explain his unique brand of analysis (“if Eno was a vampire who just drank a pot of espresso”?) beyond, “he’s awesome, just read him.” He has refreshingly original lines of thought, he pores over numbers like few others do, and he’s a guaranteed, “wow that made me think about some things” read every time. John Laghezza, known on Twitter as “MLB Moving Averages,” is back. Joining them in this year’s draft kit are two new writers we’re excited to introduce: We also brought in Michael Waterloo for his expertise on points leagues, to address the growing appetite for that format and retired MLB pitcher Joel Piñeiro for perspective on the game he played, but from the lens of a successful fantasy (football) player (all four are back this season). Last year, for example, we brought in Greg Jewett - whose work on relievers is extraordinary in its depth and accuracy - and Ian Kahn - whose dynasty advice and title-winning track record is head-spinning - to address a couple areas subscribers were asking for more of.
