Who said I wanted to participate? Lies I tell you.
I suggest doing aleague with the only scored stats being Runs scored and ERA. For the record, if you redid our standings from last season using only those two categories, only one or two people would have swtiched places. Del would still have won, I would have been second, etc. Kinda interesting.
Anyway, 6pm EST would be about the worst possible time for me. I'd prefer noon EST. Anyway, during the month of March I'm working every day between 6-9 PM EST, so that's why I'm opposed. I suppose I could take a day off but I'drather not use vacation for that.
For stats, we need to have a balance between hitting and pitching stats so one isn't more valuable than the other. Unless you want it that way. I mean, if we have 12 hitting/fielding categories and 7 pitching categories, it makes pitchers highly undervalued. Maybe not though, if you say a top closer is only good at three categories or so but absolutely essential for those same categories.
Anyway, I suggest these categories:
hitting: avg, obp, slug, H, BB, HR, SB, RBI
fielding: po,as,fp
pitching: era, whip, wins, saves, holds, K, K/BB, BAA (batting average against, if that's an option)
doubles and triples seem somewhat extraneous and i like the balance of categories I proposed. The fielding are a nice balancer since they punish you for playing people out of position (like using a DH as your 1B, Pujols as your 3B (although you can't do that anymore) etc.)

Good thing you mentioned it. That's what the thread is for. ;)
If it were closer to noon EST, that would work perfectly for me on Tuesday and Thursday, not to mention the weekends. Personally, I have nothing on those days save for an evening class, but that's later than you East Coasters are probably lookin' at.
At the very least, can everyone agree on either Tuesday or Thursday? Might as well throw that out there to begin with. We can work out the time logistics once we get more teams.
-
Tues and Thurs are my better days, in that I am available then except from 6-9PM EST.
what do you think of my category suggestions?
-
Looks good to me. Once we get the full list in front of us, we can finalize that, too.
It'd be cool if they had OPS.
-
I agree pitching and hitting should be balanced. When Strider posts the list of categories we'll all decide how best to make it to my advantage.
-
yea yea. ops would be cool but if we have obp and slug, that's just as good. do they offer BAA for pitchers? i hope so.
-
Why am I not on the "IN" list? :mad:
-
good question *prods strider*
-
Because you never posted saying you wanted in. >=P
*edits* There.
-
I posted in the last league that I wanted in. :P
-
Well, I can't be too careful about it, I guess. :P
And if it's possible, could we get a Knight to sticky this puppy or something?
-
Should I change my name to Del Champion now, or wait until September?
-
well, technically I'm the current EoFF fantasy sports champion...
-
eestlinchampion?
Sports champion, maybe, but not baseball. That honor will belong to me, in due time.
-
i find it ironic that I love baseball but I won the football league.
