I like the current categories, but I would switch AVG to OBP.

You want to double count it in OBP and OPS?

[SoCal Pinstriper]

Im confused... so you just picked these stats? Or are they the same stats from last year?


If it was up to me, I'd wanna toss out: AVG (for OBP perhaps) and HLDs


Not that you asked, if I was making a league from scratch, I'd probably do:
OBP, ISO, Runs, HR, SB (- Caught stealing), and maybe RBI or hits
ERA, WHIP, K/9 or Ks, W, SVs (- blown saves)

Keeping Hlds is a must. Bringing set up men into the mix has been a primary feature of this league.

FYI - While I won't be back this year those 6 cats were the same ones the league has run with for at least the past 3 years.

my arrogance knows no bounds

AVG also gets pretty much double counted with OPS

In the roto league I am in we do "SOLDS" which is saves & holds for one category. May be an option if you guys are considering changing things around.

I'm not as massively educated in stats as many around here are but I'm pretty sure this statement is inaccurate. I know it has some bearing with OBP but not enough to say you are double counting anything.

I do agree that AVG is a terrible stat and I hate it.

well, i think we're tossing the word double-count around kinda loosely. the only true double counting would be singles in OPS. they're counted once on the SLG side and then again on the OBP side.

that said, AVG and OBP do obviously cover mostly the same ground.

[Yankee Tripper]

AVE is a subset of OBP which is a subset of OPS.
AVE is a subset of SLG which is a subset of OPS.

Perhaps a compromise would be to replace AVE with OBP and OPS with SLG.

Just throwing that out there for you.

Personally I kind of like AVE as a cat even though I admitit does have its problems. 1st it generally makes speedsters somewhat more valuable and since they are often (but not always) useless in RBI/HR/OPS it still gives an incentive to draft high SB/AVE guys who can also help out in R. Secondly, AVE as a stat has pretty much been around since the advent of baseball stats and removing it is tantamount to sacralige in my humble opinion. Even if many SABR stats are a better indicator of a players true value to his team.

Remember this is FANTASY baseball not REAL baseball. So the idea is to get the cats that appeal to the most people in the league.

[The FUTURE]

What would be the best draft date/draft time for everyone here ??? Please post what works best for you and I'll do my best to pick a time that works for most.

[pleasepassthesoup]

Any Sunday other than 3/4 and 4/1 work for me. Time doesn't matter. (I'm assuming Sunday is the easiest day to get everybody around)

[YanksForLife]

Sundays at 8 is the best time for me.

I'm commissioner in another league. 4/1 isn't even an option as the Japan Series between the As and Mariners begins on 3/28. Stats will count from that date.

Sundays are good for me also. Anytime after 6:00 p.m. would be fine with me.

[SoCal Pinstriper]

Sundays are awesome, but I was serious when I posted that the Autodraft did a much better job than I would have in 2011. I won't be upset if it is set for a time that is bad for me.

[SatchelPaigeYankee]

1) hey, looks like we're still missing some players. i count 17
2) so no OBP?
3) any sunday is good for me, pretty much

[parkerstrong]

I'm in if you need another owner!

[hardrain]

Sundays at 8 is the best time for me.

The draft the last few years was well over 2 hours....I vote for earlier, around 7....but of course it is impossible to please every one.

[In Mo I Trust]

Any time on any Sunday night works for me.

[SatchelPaigeYankee]

whats the deal with the draft? i gotta know how much time I have beforehand so I set up my excel spreadsheet

sorry, I am still PM'ing previous owners and trying to fill in the final spots to this league. It looks like the best time for most owners is on a Sunday night, I will make a final decision and post it in here by friday.

[The FUTURE]

DRAFT TIME CHANGED: SUNDAY, MARCH 18th @ 7:45.



If this time/date doesn't work for you I am sorry; I've asked most people in the league and read all your comments and sunday night seems like the best time. 7:45 is the latest I want to start because with 20 teams, these drafts can take awhile and I don't wanna be up super later on a sunday and be dragging all day monday either. Thank you all for your input and hope to see you at the draft.

[In Mo I Trust]

Are we going to randomize the draft order beforehand like we've done in the past?

[The FUTURE]

Yes; I can randomize the draft a day or so before and I'll post the results in here.

[Eldee5]

I'm fine with the revised draft time.
Are we playing with 18 teams this season?

[snapple]

I received a PM about being an owner. I'm in. That draft date works with me.

To erryone: Enjoy whooping my noob ass this year

[YanksFanTillDeath]

Ok time to get in the game... old - Soup A Stars - now - Sexy and I Cano It - ... Lets go

[parkerstrong]

Yeah I'm in as well. Sounds like fun!
