Its never too early to start thinking Fantasy Baseball

I think thats 7 for a weekly and 2-3 for an auction daily league

[EPW]

How about:
Runs, RBI, BB, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, SB, OPS.
ERA, H/9, BB/9, K/9, GIDP, IP, QS, HLD, SV

or maybe mirror the pitching stats with the hitting:
Runs, BB, 1ba, 2ba, 3ba, HRa, WHIP, K, IP

and drop QS/HLD/SV

[SlowwHand]

That makes relief pitchers a non-entity.

[EPW]

I think it would make relief pitchers more valuable since they'd probably give up fewer hits overall.

[EPW]

Of course, it might be more beneficial not to start any players at with that system...

[OzzyKP]

Throw out holds, but keep saves.

[EPW]

I don't see how holds are any worse than Quality starts or saves.

[Berzerker]

well, saves are...saves... always had em but QS are a good category, you really gotta earn it - thats at least 6 innings of 3 er or less. My only gripe with it is the guy who pitches 7-9 innings and gives up 4 er. But its better than wins, compare some guy throwing 6 innings giving up 1 er with a guy who throws an out and gets a win or a hold.

yahoo is open for business

so how do we find out who played last year? Isn't there a link at yahoo that allows us to look at past teams and leagues? Or do we have to join a league first before we can look up poly history? We need to send emails pms to people who've played in the past
