    Hi, would be great if we could see the day over day changes in each category, not just overall.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Our league did a custom standings this year where teams played 7 games a week versus an opponent. The awarding of the games was based on the result of total points in the series. If a series loser was within 15% of a winner, they won 3 games. Within 30%, they won 2 games. Within 50%, they won 1 game. This didn’t change the leaderboard that much, but it made the standings look more like actual baseball.

    There is already a On Base Percentage Against category (OBPA), but is it possible for you guys to create an OPS Against Category too? (OBPA) ?

    Our league is trying to find a category that goes a bit beyond WHIP (which only quantifies the total amount of Walks/Hits) while also taking into account the power of the opposing batters against the pitcher being scored.

    Thanks in advance for your consideration!

    The batter is not rewarded for getting on base when he gets hit. I think it should count as a walk. You could also make it a negative stat for the pitcher.

    Please bring additional scoring categories to the game. Examples: FIP ; K%-BB%/PA (strikout% minus walk% per plate appearances).
    There are some avanced metrics that have transitioned from obsucrity to being very mainstream evaluators of players that will provide very meaningful value to fantasy leagues. We have a friends and family league where not everyone is following advanced metrics but some of these "advanced" metrics are not so advanced anymore but just common sense and easily understood.
    Please consider bringing these to the game and allow for better league customization.

    Baseball has changed. Wins don't mean what they used to and are harder for starters to reach given how teams use starting pitchers. Make a "Wins + Quality Starts" pitching category, similar to "Saves + Holds," as a way to balance starting pitching with how MLB teams are altering their use of starting pitchers.

    It's been voiced multiple times and doesn't take much to add it, just do it already!!!

    QS + W is a MUST HAVE

  • Thing Horse commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would cause balance in the force. Oh... ... and adding the scoring category would help as well.

    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!

  • Alec Guiness commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.
