(*)ROTISSERIE: Winning with Mayberry - one man's method

by Jon Enriquez

As explained by Ron Shandler in his 2010 essay here, one of the Mayberry Method’s tenets is to embrace imprecision. It seems an odd claim from someone who’s made a career on his projections. But after being in my home league since 1993 (NL-only, 4x4 keeper) and never finishing higher than second place, I was willing to give something new a try during the 2010 season.
