I like hold+save and k/9

[Fawesome 111]

holds are booty. no. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

I’m kidding about holds this year. Is there a hitting cat we could lose?

[Fawesome 111]

These are some of the options 

[UTPhil2006 3805]

HBP 

[Capn81 372]

HBP 

This is the Surly way.

[Capn81 372]

What about losing avg and k/bb?

And I say this from the perspective that K/BB sucks and OPS is already measuring a talent level like avg is supposed to do. But Ops does it better.

i'd be fine with that.  also fine with just replacing k/bb with losses.

[CORN 89]

Let's add HBP and pitch clock violations

for real though - let's get rid of k/bb.  such a garbage ass category.  lets find something else.

k/9 any better?

[BigOrange1 6433]

i like k/9 better.  hell, i'd even be ok with just using walks as a stat.  my main issue with k/bb is i just don't like the two categories being tied together when they're already account for in other categories.  but if each is just it's own individual category, i like it better - in theory at least.

[NOMAAA 1696]

I like k/9 but I also love relievers. So does Derka. I say do it. Or losses. 

[henrygandorf 29189]

we talking 5x5?  no thanks.

This is how I feel about avg being used when we already have a better hitter skill category being used in Ops.

[huge 3793]

K/9 >>>>>>>>>>>K/BB

[shadow_operative 15932]

gotta keep it 6 x 6.

[APMP 688]

KS and WHIP for pitchers. Most direct run prevention metrics IMO.
OPS and Runs for hitters. Most direct run production metrics IMO.
You could add Saves and Steals because fantasy.

(I'm ignoring any advanced metrics that ESPN might have available)

(I'm not totally serious, but it would certainly make for an interesting and new league experience)

i agree that i like 6x6 better than 5x5

what would happen if we just . . . left it alone

sometimes when i want something left alone, i just kick up a fuss and throw out wild ideas that have no chance or realistic timeline to get completed, and things end up staying exactly the same.

this works for both work and home life.  highly recommend.

[NOMAAA 1696]

is the trade deadline set?  that is all i really give two shits about.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Back on track. Asb trade deadline and switching to k/9 ilo k/bb. 
 

let’s put it to a vote. 

I vote yes for both. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

i vote yes for trade deadline and switching k/bb to k/9. 

[UTPhil2006 3805]

Yes to ASB and then Yes to HBP

[NOMAAA 1696]

Haha. Half helpful. 

[Capn81 372]

Same.

[castolon 193]

I vote yes for banning hg, derka, corn and scraps. It’s not personal exactly

[huge 3793]

trade deadline yes

k/9 yes

[henrygandorf 29189]

i'm a yea vote for both.  or whatever gets this done.

[Planet Houston 4930]

Yes and yes

get your cornhole ready, boy

[BigOrange1 6433]

yes & yes

[shadow_operative 15932]

how do we feel about july 30th as the trade deadline?

[NOMAAA 1696]

how about the week after the asb?

[Capn81 372]

how do we feel about july 30th as the trade deadline?

I think that we should lock in before August 1st. Asb or July 30th does not matter to me.

[Planet Houston 4930]

If we are going to make it July 30, it should be July 31. I agree with having it a bit later than the ASG.

Whatever, science bitch

[NOMAAA 1696]

Who’s going number 1? Let’s hash this out. 

I want trea again. 

[BigOrange1 6433]

i'm good with 7/31.

[Capn81 372]

I’ll just got 7/31 as well.

[shadow_operative 15932]

what about 7/32?

[APMP 688]

I don't really care, but do wonder whether it would be more fun to have our deadline before or after the MLB trade deadline.

[Fawesome 111]

Trade deadline is now July 31st. 

Switching K/BB to K/9

it is written. 

 

[UTPhil2006 3805]

What about HBP?

[NOMAAA 1696]

(Quietly removes Edwin Diaz from his second round pick list.)

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I assume there aren't any open slots left in this league. Any idea where I can find an at least somewhat serious league to join? I'm not looking for a league full of guys writing code to run projections. One where everyone remembers to set their lineups would be fine. 

[Scraps 13561]

Harsh...i am not even in this league lmao

You could probably join the other league but it is roto not head to head

We got 10 people but i think we all want more. Go over to thread in gambling board if you are interested

[beer 3220]
