During my last few years at BaseballHQ.com, I questioned whether we could truly project player stats with the accuracy necessary for them to be useful in our fantasy games. We were spending our efforts digging for more data granularity and hoping that would lead to better projective precision, but the results were not much more accurate than before.

BABS is perfect for your Salary Cap contest, serving to identify highly skilled players at affordable cost levels to construct the most advantageous team. In this type of format, each MLB player is assigned a specific salary amount, with players compiled into a roster constrained by a defined total salary cap. The Diamond Challenge (DC) contest will be used as our example.
