183 > 112

[EPW]

No No No

That's just the guys you have listed on your bench and not in your lineup or pitching. Its so high because one of your guys only pitched in 4 games and had a 272 ERA+. I should probably remove him from the average.

Should we assume then that Cincinnati will be twice as good as Baltimore or Colorado?

LOLz

Since when has numbers of individual talent ever been that much of a determinent? Especially when the other talent, not taken, is so poor.

[OzzyKP]

[Guynemer]

You listed my team name as the Dallas Dwarf Tossers; pedantics aside, interesting analysis.

[SlowwHand]

What??! Back away slowly.

[OzzyKP]

17. -45 Capy Cameron Maybin
18. -45 Jdd Ryan Zimmerman
19. -44 Guy Jacoby Ellsbury
20. -43 EmpFab Adrian Beltre



And the top 20 "worst" picks are:


1. 316 Berz Tommy Hanson
2. 267 Stuie Ryan Madson
3. 154 Capy Matt Thornton
4. 152 Capy Chien-Ming Wang
5. 147 Stuie Joe Saunders

14. 100 Berz Mike Fontenot
15. 92 EPW Jason Giambi
16. 86 Guy J.D. Drew
17. 85 EPW Ryan Ludwick
18. 83 Sloww Randy Winn
19. 76 Berz Mike Lowell
19. 76 Fistand Hong-Chih Kuo
19. 76 Fistand Elijah Dukes


ESPN really, really doesn't like Hanson & Madson. *shrug* And Santana fell like a rock because of injury news...

[snoopy369]

Jack Cust, by the way, is one of the blatant outliers, as will be any of the RPs who don't get saves probably. Jack Cust has stellar numbers for everything except AVG, where he's awful (and K's). We don't track either of those stats of course In an OBP league he's probably gone well before I took him on average, I'd guess.

[Berzerker]

so I have 0 best picks and 5 worst picks? And I'm over 1000 Ozzy, I'm going to teach you a lesson about relying on stats too much

[snoopy369]

Or else he's going to teach you a lesson about to little...

Don't forget Imran. Imran needs a seat in that class.
