League has been renewed.
In an effort to keep things fresh, we're going to dress up and role play change a few categories for 2017.
Here's how it's currently set-up - would love some feedback.
Goal here (for pitchers) is to have the best to balance between starters and relievers, while also increasing the overall pool of players from waivers that are rosterable.
Pitchers:
Previous New
Wins Wins
Ks Ks
ERA ERA
WHIP WHIP
Saves Saves + Holds (combined category)
Holds Quality Starts
K/9
Other realistic options - either to add or replace:
Innings Pitched
Total Based Allowed
On-Base Percentage Against (this is probably my favorite option, but it's not that different from WHIP, so I'd think one or the other.)
Hitters (adding one since we added one for pitchers):
Previous New
Runs Runs
HR HR
RBI RBI
SB SB
AVG. AVG.
OPS OPS
Total Bases
Other realistic options - either to add or replace:
Basically nothing.
If we want to go back to 6 categories, then we can remove Total Bases and remove one of either Quality Starts or K/9 for pitchers.
Another option is to replace Wins with Quality starts, but then it's a category only for starters (whereas relievers can pick up wins.)
Would love thoughts.
Other information:
Keepers Due: 3/24
Draft Date: 3/26 (Sunday before Opening Day, per tradition. Currently set for 8pm Central Time)
You should have received an invite, but let me know if you didn't.
I'm expecting some turnover this year (Simmer, Thrill...) so if you're interested and have no played in the past, post here.
Or we can play with 10.
Saves + Holds is fine.
I wouldn't mind *not* having QS, instead go with K/9 or K/BB.
For the hitters, total bases works and dilutes the HR a bit, for better or for worse,
I wouldn't mind seeing BA replaced with OBP.
I would love to see is stick with 12 teams. Much more interesting that way.

Okay, here's where we're currently at:
Hitters: Pitchers:
R Wins
HR ERA
RBIs WHIP
SBs Ks
Total Bases Saves + Holds
OBP K/9
SLG K/BB
I wouldn't add anymore from here, but we can optimize the 7 or remove one from each (Total Bases and K/BB, I imagine)
It seemed that if we were switching from .AVG to .OBP (which makes all the sense in the world) that having .OPS was a bit duplicative, so I just used .SLG as the second category there.
Let me know.

I'd vote to remove either SLG or Total Bases...those are basically the same, with SLG probably rewarding playing time much less.
I'd vote to remove one of the K categories to even it out...probably K/9.

Or we can full on statfaggery and use BsR instead of SBs and WPA instead of S+H...etc, etc.
I'm only half-joking.

You wish.
Speaking of fantasy baseball leagues, there's an opening in a league me and Yeti are in. It's a keeper league. It uses the Fangraphs points system. You'd be taking over a team. There's a 30 dollar buy-in, but you don't HAVE throw in to play. However, I don't want you in the league if you're not gonna ante up. So, in a way, you actually DO have to be willing to pony up the cash, whatever that means. You might win it back, though. I don't know. Maybe you're good. Maybe you're the best. Step up to the streets and see, backstreet. Greatness awaits. No Fear!
Me and Yeti still need an owner for a fantasy baseball league. It's not head to head. It's points. It's a keeper.

Yeah, you are!
I'm cool with whatever categories, I just want to make my annual plea to dump the LF-RF-CF designations so you can just play outfielders.
I find it to be more of a pain in the ass than some sort of interesting strategy.

Just sent out a GDoc invite to the same people I shared it with last year. Let me know if you didn't receive it.
Check and make sure that your team and draft picks are correct.
You can filter the "Keepers" sheet to your team and mark the "Keeping" column to "Yes/No." Or just post them here and someone will update it.

I don't play in this league but the fun of fantasy sports is trying to build a team and deal with the exact kind of scarcity of talent that real GMs have to deal with, saying "it's hard to find center fielder who can hit, so lemme have a Kyle Schwarber/Matt Holliday/Giancarlo Stanton outfield" kinda misses the point. Why even have positions then? Just accumulate the 9 best hitters you can find.

Right, so in that case my second baseman is now Kris Bryant and my shortstop is Paul Goldschmidt, I'm not even pretending defense matters so let's just draft the 9 best bats possible.

So, if Kris plays an inning at SS, becomes SS available, you won't put him there going forward because you want to be authentic?

Why even have positions then? Just accumulate the 9 best hitters you can find.
It's almost as if this is some sort of fantasized version of real baseball..
Right, so in that case my second baseman is now Kris Bryant and my shortstop is Paul Goldschmidt, I'm not even pretending defense matters so let's just draft the 9 best bats possible.
So, if Kris plays an inning at SS, becomes SS available, you won't put him there going forward because you want to be authentic?
If your rules allow that, fine, I would, because I'd want to win. I just wouldn't want those rules?

I don't play in this league but the fun of fantasy sports is trying to build a team and deal with the exact kind of scarcity of talent that real GMs have to deal with, saying "it's hard to find center fielder who can hit, so lemme have a Kyle Schwarber/Matt Holliday/Giancarlo Stanton outfield" kinda misses the point. Why even have positions then? Just accumulate the 9 best hitters you can find.

He'd need to play in 10 games at SS (or start in five) to become eligible.
How many keepers allowed?
Okay, draft order set and everyone has been assigned commissioner access.
So either set your keepers in yourself, or post them here and I'll do it.
Let's try to have this done quickly.

I see none of these things are happening.
Perhaps another attempt?
Or should I be looking at what people have marked on CD's spreadsheet? That seems like the worst of the three options.

TPD.
Looks like people are using the dumb spreadsheet. It doesn't help you differentiate when guys are in the same round, but I'll just make decisions and people can check.
Shooter: Specify your 13th round keepers. Jon Gray, Ian Desmond, Edwin Diaz. One has to be an 11th round, one a 12th and one a 13th.
Dolan: Clarify between your 13th round keepers. Kris Bryant and Villar. Specify one for the 12th round and the 13th round
Also, decide between your 11th rounders: Schwarber and Iglesias. One needs to be the 11th and the 10th.
Since Pen is angry that Excel doesn't input the keepers into Yahoo, a set of instructions:
If you have keepers that are in the same round, on the Keeper tab, under the "KeeperOverallPick" column, change the draft pick number to the appropriate number.
For example, if you have 2 13th round keepers, and your 13th round pick number is 135, it will show them both as 135. We all know they can't be pick 135, so go to the Draft Order tab, find what # pick your 12th round pick is. If that number is 123, then input that on the Keeper tab (KeeperOverallPick column) next to the guy you want to keep in the 12th round.
If you go back to the draft order tab, they are now showing up in the 12th round.

The old way has worked perfectly for all these years, unlike this way.

If you need another player, and someone to most stay close to the relegation zone, lemme know!
Sent a PM to this guy to take over Simmer's long-neglected team.
If anyone wants to take over Thrill's team, we can work that out too.

That was a lot of math and I never bothered to look at it. But I think it's fair to assume I'd want to assign Bryant and Schwarber the later round numbers.
