Welcome to Dan's area!
I've added a tool to enable ZiPS Projections to be made at any point in the season.

You can download it here.2005 ZiPS Projections for Diamond Mind Baseball 9.0
ZiPS Projections are for entertainment purposes only. Downloaders agree to not hold Dan Szymborski or BaseballThinkFactory.org responsible if they take Derek Lowe in the first round of their roto draft and lose money.

Will add more tools (various spreadsheets I have for lots and lots of tasks) as I get around to it.
