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.)
