    There are weak hitting, glove first players on waivers and great two way players. Adding Outs Above Average or another defensive stat would make these players more relevant in fantasy. On the flip side, slugging bat first players would have a statistical deficiency. Like it or not defense is part of the sport and as far as I can see the only defensive stats are errors or fielding percentage that isn’t very indicative of a players fielding value.

    If you aren't good at something, get better. Don't try and change the rules!

    Yahoo should add SLG Against as a pitching category because TBA penalizes IPs

  • David Bur commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please combine Wins + Quality Starts as a category. I would implement it in our league immediately.

    Scoring needs to be modernized.

    Add OPS so triples and doubles are important. Could probably replace HRs with this. HR and RBI are so tightly correlated you don't need both.

    Add Holds to Saves (called High Leverage Outing - HLO), then middle relievers become an important asset. Especially since they also get a lot of the Wins now due to pitch count. Which means...

    Wins should probably become Quality Starts.

    Relief P Contribution (RP Wins+Saves+Holds)
    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: Relief P Contribution 2 (RP Wins+Saves+Holds)

  • Kristóf Varga commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: Starter Wins

  • Kristóf Varga commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: QA3 (IP >=5 + ERA <=4,5)
    Quality Appereance when the starting pitchers IP IS at least 5 and the ERA is max 4,5.
    This can replace QS as QS is getting obsolete.

    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: Saves + Holds v2 (SV*2+HLD)

    it just makes sense...We have errors and random cat's people would never use but we don't have this one? com'on

    While a stat for "inherited runners scored" exists, this is a punishing stat. Could we add an "inherited runner prevented" stat as a configurable scoring option? This would bring more value to middle relievers and setup men, encouraging the best to be rostered as opposed to actively avoiding these players if using the "inherited runners scored" stat.

    ROBERT, I AGREE - these fools haven't done **** about this, for 2.5 years now. it's pathetic!!!!!

    HR Allowed tries to measure the pitchers skill by brute force. HR/9 captures so much more.

  • douglas sloane commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add HR/9 to the pitching scoring category. It captures the skill better than HR Allowed.
