Minor League Ball Spreadsheet Primer

3
On the bottom of the spreadsheet there are currently nine tabs, but this will expand to 12 as the season progresses.
Later on in the season we will add the following sections.
4
The first tab is the primer you're reading right now.The tenth tab are the Helium Tank players. This group will be unveiled some time in June.
5
The second and third tabs are the Top 175 prospects, broken up by pitchers and hitters.
These players have gotten off to a great start to the year and have gained some helium in their prospect status.
6
This is where you can follow along and see how each player fared the previous day.
If they keep up their current pace, expect these players to shoot up prospect rankings.
7
Injured players will be in red with the date and type of injury in the Notes section. Suspended players are in orange.
The Helium Tank is also split between pitchers and hitters, and includes team ranks.
8
The fourth tab is all the players John mentioned as being "in the picture" of the Top 175.
Tab #11 will be for any player selected in either the first round or compensation round A in the 2016 draft.
9
Again, this is split up between pitchers and hitters, and also includes each players ranking for their respective teams.
The assigned slot value, bonus amount received, and daily stats can be found here once they players sign.
10
The 5th tab will house the players John tabbed as sleepers or with a high ceiling alert.
The final tab will be for the Tempurpedics.
11
Each grouping is separated to distinguish between the sleepers and high ceiling alert players.
This group of players are the "deep sleeper" picks that are in the short season leagues.
12
As with the "In The Picture" tab, both groups are split between pitchers and hitters and includes team ranks.
They are a mix of recently drafted players and former IFA's with a few seasons under their belt.
13
The sixth tab will be the IFA's, or international free agents.
The Tempurpedics will be split between pitchers and hitters as well and also include team ranks.
14
Only players who received a signing bonus of at least $500,000 beginning with the 2012-13 signing period will be tracked.
Expect the Tempurpedics list to be debuted around the same time as the Helium Tank players.
15
This section is also split up depending on signing bonus amounts.
16
They are split between the seven figure, $1M+ bonuses and players who received between $500,000 and $999.999.
17
This section includes the bonus amount, what year they signed, and their ranking within their organization.
18
The Duels of the Day will be in the seventh tab with the previous day's match ups, and the duels for the upcoming slate of games.
19
Tab #8 is the current day's probable starters. Match ups highlighted in yellow are the Duels of the Day (DotD)
20
There is an affiliation key next to each league to help you keep track of which Minor League teams are linked to which Major League teams.
21
The ninth tab is the next day's schedule with probable starters and the affiliation keys.
