FOnTasy Baseball 2013

At the risk of sounding like a bully, I think it's terrific, but if people want to tinker with it, I am OK with that, too, as long as we can get them locked down in the next few days.

Here are the updated stat categories as of 3/11:

Batting: Runs (R), Hits (H), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Total Bases (TB)
Pitching: Wins (W), Saves (SV), Walks (BB), Strikeouts (K), Holds (HLD), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)

Thoughts?

I would be in favor of dropping Holds and replacing it with OBP (or another batter based avg. category).

[nec13]

Holds has been dropped in favor of ERA.

Now we're edging closer to classic Rotisserie baseball. Can we agree on a date to lock the categories in place? I am on spring break, this would be a great week for me to play with some numbers.

NERDS!

Don't you have the Peter Criss autobiography to finish?

[buffcoat]

KISS nerds > baseball stats nerds, am I right? Is this a good forum to ask that question?

[methanolcereal]

Ok, with Holds out and ERA in I think the pitching stats are great. I like on base, batting average, or ops better than TB but i might be in the minority.

How many open slots? A non-FOT friend is looking for a league if we need another

[nec13]

Batting: Runs (R), Hits (H), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), On-base + Slugging Percentage (OPS)
Pitching: Wins (W), Saves (SV), Walks (BB), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)


I think this will be the final statistical configuration. To me, this is the ideal mix of traditional stats and basic sabermetric stats. Hopefully, this works for everyone.

There are still six spots open, so if you have any friends or acquaintances that would be interested in playing, feel free to invite them.

[methanolcereal]

Will do. Did you send the invites out yet?

[nec13]

For anyone who's still interested in playing, there are still five open spots.

Great!

For right now, I've locked the number of teams at 10. Draft time has been moved to 6:00 pm on Sunday.

Dave's been pestering me to join. I've decided I want to. Now, I gotta wait until someone else does, too, huh?

You beat me to the punch, Hugman. Can we drum up another? AP Mike? Maybe a GIRRRRRRL?
