Please add new scoring categories for fantasy baseball for 2022: 1-BB+H (total walks plus hits allowed...not WHIP...whole numbers, not a %). 2-W+QS (total wins plus quality starts earned). 3-SIERA (sabermetric form of ERA). I see that some of mine here are some of the most highly requested categories listed above. Let's get these added for THIS season please! thanks!!!

Love the idea of Wins + Quality Starts. My league of 21 years spent a ton of time this off-season debating Wins or Quality Starts, or having each of them. But after long debate, we agreed that the combination of these in one category would perfectly balance out the Sandy Alcantaras vs. the Adam Wainrights etc. Ultimately, it would bring a really nice balance of the best pitchers in the league, still let Relievers impact Wins, but reward some talented starters whose offenses/bullpens don't help them with Wins. Additionally, it seems like it would be an easy programming addition.

Add a limit for the number of games started a teams pitchers can have in a week. Same idea as innings cap, but with starts

I have been asking for this for years now, and it's all over the message board. It's outrageous it hasn't been added. There is a raging debate between QS or W; having a category that awarded 1 point for a QS or a Win (no double counting) would allow for the best of both worlds.
Another option would be to have a category that is "Wins by a Starter", so you can use Wins but don't have to deal with "fake" reliever wins.
It's inconceivable that Yahoo! can't figure this out over half a decade

“Wins+NonWinQS” as a single stat
I want to keep relief wins and reward quality starts that aren’t wins, but I don’t want to have both Wins and Quality Starts as separate stats.

No kill Wins as a stat, its not a pitching stat is a team hitting stat.

HR allowed is currently an available category to use for pitchers, but not HR/9. In head-to-head categories leages, as opposed to points leagues, using HR allowed as a total-sum number inherently incentivizes you to not start pitchers once the team you are playing has given up more Home Runs than you. With HR/9, in categories, a good start from a pitcher would bring down your ratios, and still be effective.
In addition, the HR allowed as a total # causes the league rankings for pitchers to be quite out of wack, heavily trending to mis-represent relievers who of course have lower numbers given their lower workload, and therefore makes it harder for managers as a whole to evaluate trades between Starting Pitchers & other positions.
HR allowed is of course a good stat for points leagues, who can balance it accordingly to their other variables, but it doesn't work effectively as a total-sum number for categories leagues. It is still a valued factor in Baseball to want to use for fantasy, though, and the addition of HR/9 for pitchers for categories leagues to be able to use instead would be the perfect fix for this issue.
Thank you.

Myself and managers in my league have discussed some additional optional metrics that we think would improve the Yahoo! Fantasy baseball experience for us:
OPS Against for pitchers- Should be easy enough to calculate and would be more all-encompassing than WHIP.
Defensive Runs Saved for hitters - I think we can all agree that the current defensive stat categories for hitters right now are terrible. I’d probably prefer defensive WAR, but that is probably too complicated to calculate. This stat would at least be a huge step in the right direction.
