Welcome to the third installment of Baseball Prospectus’s in-season, Rotisserie-style valuations for American League and National League -only formats.

In the linked document below, you will find values through games of Sunday, July 5th for:

American League Hitters
American League Pitchers
National League Hitters
National League Pitchers

The formulas used to derive these valuations are not based on last year’s statistical formulas but have been derived based on 2015 statistics. Average salaries are based on the auction rosters for the CBS, LABR, and Tout Wars expert leagues.

Each update will be completed after a sixth of the regular season is done. So you can expect updates after the average number of games played per major league team hits 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 games. The final update will occur sometime in the winter after the postseason has been completed.

Last time out, I simply presented the valuations without comment. This time, I wanted to make a few observations about what has happened to date.

The valuations in the American League continue to level off; in fact, there isn’t a single hitter or pitcher on pace to earn $40. Jose Altuve is ahead of Mike Trout by decimals (both at $39). Last time’s leader—Josh Donaldson—dropped to seventh overall, at $35. On the pitching side, Chris Archer is the new leader, at $39. Sonny Gray, who had been at $42 after 54 games, dropped to third at $33. In the National League, Paul Goldschmidt and Max Scherzer have maintained the no. 1 slot among pitchers and hitters, respectively. Goldschmidt remains on pace to earn $50 this year—which would be an amazing feat in 5x5 for a hitter not named Barry Bonds—and Scherzer’s white-hot streak puts him on pace to earn $47 in 2015 in NL-only

The full list of valuations can be found here.
