triples shouldnt be given that much weight for how many there are, thats my only gripe. I'd rather go with XBH but then we'd have to dump HRs I think. Of course homers get reflected in SLG, R, RBI, and H too, but HRs are just a big part of the game. I wouldn't mind 1,2,3,HR but we'd be in the minority on that one.

H/9 & BB/9 is essentially the same as WHIP, so I could vote for
R, H, HR, RBI, SB, TB, OBP, SLG
QS, SV, HLD, K, K/BB, WHIP, ERA
Adding IP wont upset me, but there's gotta be a relevant stat we can use to favor SPs, even Wins. The reason I dont care much for IP is it basically comes down to who can get more starts in a week due to scheduling.
Yeah Sloww, QS (quality starts) requires a SP to throw at least 6 IP of 3 era or less. Unfortunately if your SP gets a QS and he throws a 7th and gives up a 4th run he loses the QS. It happens occasionally...

My only helpful feedback on the whole stats question is definitely keep HR and... no HLDs.
I think I prefer H & TB over 1b, 2b & 3b, but I care less about that than HR & HLDs.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

we can have a vote on HLD if y'all want, dont matter to me. But we should vote on it since we've been using holds
so far I see 2 for holds (Fist and EPW) and 2 against (EmpFab and Ozzy)
keep in mind though if we do away with holds we'll need something else

Pitching category possibilities:
GIDP-Should help starters; perhaps too unpredictable and too uncommon
WHIP->H/9, BB/9 Creates an extra category
OBPA->Probably favors relievers, similar to WHIP
TBa->favors relievers
CG->favors SP, but probably too uncommon
W/L->favors SP, but we already have QS
IP->favors SP, lame\
IRA->favors SP, too uncommon"

I'd rather go with wins over ip, even if guys can get a win for 1/3 inn it still favors starters and winning is what its all about.
QS, W, SV, HLD(?), K, K/BB, WHIP, ERA
dropping HLD leaves us with 7 cats, I'd like to have 1 more batting cat than pitching, but 8 and 8 is fine if we like the stats.

whats wrong with WHIP?
anyway, if we dont do holds I'm fine with those pitching stats. But those of you wanting to drop holds have your work cut out for you, so far its 2 to 2 so Holds are in as of now. I'd probably go with whip and holds > h/9 and bb/9Last edited by Berzerker; February 16, 2010, 01:06.

Cubs P+C report Thursday!
I won't be playing but found myself reading this thread - basically to avoid work. Great stuff.
I'd like to pull up Poly's annual Fantasy Baseball Category Discussion from the past several years just to see how people's positions have evolved. (Or not.)
Plus there's the whole deja vu thing.

Good. They seem close to agreeing. The last thing needed is more "data".Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Can I? Duh, yeah. But will I? No. For some reason, fantasy baseball doesn't do it for me. Can't explain it, but I've come to accept it.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
