This might actually work. And i never agree to changes in 5x5 Roto. It seems to satisfy the "disgruntled" SP, from both sides, and without creating reactionary changes to other categories and player values. Meaning no other category is effected, and no SP gains QS value. This should reflect in 0 value changes. If you ran a simulation mock, there should not be significant value changes to SP. If that is true, then you can apply the new metric and squash that debate. Martian.

I'd originally posted a suggestion to add a QS+CG scoring, and now the link redirects to this...
IMO combining Quality Starts with Complete Games provides a more well-rounded stat for comparing Starting Pitchers, while QS+W still leaves room for RPs to contribute to the category...

If Holds + Saves is a possible category, then Quality Starts + Complete Games should be as well.
Thanks!

A lot of managers in my Roto league last year were complaining about the inconsistency between their SP quality outings and their ability to record wins. I love the quality start category but it's always fun to root for your SP to win the game and not just post 6+IP <3 earned runs. QS + W would be a fun category because it would add wins as an added bonus making the Kershaw Wainright Scherzers a more valuable asset to your team. Hopefully this new category will be approved and implemented for the 2015 season. Thanks Yahoo!

I agree. While QSs are a better reflection of a pitchers value, fantasy baseball wouldn't be as fun without Ws. This is a perfect compromise because it doesnt requiring an extra SP stat, which would effect the value of SPs.
