You might have beat me, but I finished in a better spot.
Head to head with wins for each stat category is how i had the yahoo league last year, so i think that's what im going with.cutuphalfdead wrote:yes, league manager

Can i change the settings if i need to until the season starts?

I usually like IP as a category, but i was thinking some weren't fond of it. And i like the idea of slg and obp instead of ops so ill switch some stuff around in the morningcutuphalfdead wrote:Not a huge fan of the stats you set up. Here's what we use in the real league:
AVG, HR, R, RBI, SB, SLG, OBP, H
ERA, K, WHIP, W, SV, HR, BB, IP
splitting up SLG and OBP from OPS better rewards guys who walk a lot and guys who hit for power, instead of rewarding just those who are well balanced between the two
You have both K and K/9 for pitching categories which seems pointless. Making IP a stat category rewards players who don't sit their pitchers to maintain stats that aren't benefited from pitching more innings (ie ERA, WHIP, BB, etc)
Having IP as a category just balances out the pitching stats. If you want to sit your pitchers later in the week to preserve your ERA and WHIP it's just another quantity based stat you're going to sacrifice in the process. And on the flip side, it rewards players who take chances and pitch guys who they're on the fence about.Dr. Van Nostrand wrote:I usually like IP as a category, but i was thinking some weren't fond of it.

I do like the looks of those stat categories, so as long as no one else objects, then that's the set up ill go with tomorrow.cutuphalfdead wrote:Having IP as a category just balances out the pitching stats.

IMO, CG and K/9 have to go.
In fact, I'd advocate for just making the stats the same as the real league. We tinkered with ours after the first season and came up with what we have no for last year and it worked beautifully. It keeps the quality vs quantity pitching stats well balanced, it adequately rewards all the different aspect of a good offense, and doesn't include categories that shouldn't be worth the same as the others (ie, CG).
My other draft is sunday march 24 at 8pm so don't use that.Dr. Van Nostrand wrote:I do like the looks of those stat categories, so as long as no one else objects, then that's the set up ill go with tomorrow.cutuphalfdead wrote:Having IP as a category just balances out the pitching stats.

The other issue to start figuring out is draft date and time, we have plenty of time before we do it, but id like to set a date early so everyone can plan to be ready
