Fantasy Baseball Scoring with Tableau Public
Started toying with Tableau Public this evening and conducted a small fantasy baseball analysis to get a feel for the software and service. It's a simple scatterplot with groupings by position ranked by total points scored last season. I hope to expand upon it as I learn how to do more with Tableau Public, but in the short term, it's a helpful visualization so you can quickly see the marginal value of certain positions and performers.
First basemen clearly lead the scoring thanks to Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, and Ryan Howard top scorers. Third base stands out as surprisingly weak with Mark Reynolds and Evan Longoria tops at the position. Check it out and let me know what you think. Sheet 1
