Nice I like the Yahoo format, lookin forward to this season already

[SteezeFactory]

I need to start getting some sleeper/breakout player lists. I haven't done any fantasy baseball homework yet for this season.

is this a keeper league?

[Howiester]

is this a keeper league?

I don't think so. I don't want it to be a keeper actually, what does everyone else think about this issue?

[TheBateman]

keeper's never pan out. I'm sure that we're going to have guys not care half way through the season. Better to do it year by year

Agree with you guys, I'm fine with making it one season.

Whats up!!!

[SpeedDemon9]

No, this is not a keeper league and I hope we keep everyone through the whole season. Last year we had one player screw up everything and it sucked. I know sh*t comes up through the year, but set your lineup in advance. Here are the stats that I have come up with as they are the basic Yahoo ones. We can add some, drop one, let's discuss this.

Runs
RBIs
HRs
AVG
SB
ERA
WHIP
K
W
Saves

On top of those 5x5 cats, I like to play with OPS as it's the best indicator of how good a batter is (obp plus slugging). For pitchers, losses or k/9 are good. I don't really like getting into the crazy stuff like holds or outfield assists. Just my 2 cents.

[Uncontested]

Wooo should be fun. I had some fun on FFB this year even tho like 2 or 3 people quit from all the leagues I was in lol

[richard02]

maybe i missed it, but when does Yahoo open up?

What you have here is definitely fine with me. I would be up for adding OPS, maybe complete games for pitchers, but getting into assists and losses is a little bit overkill in my opinion. I'de be happy with what you have listed

OPS will be added and last year I used K/9. It seems redundant, but I have played in leagues that use it quite often. I was also thinking about Quality Starts instead of K/9?

[SpeedDemon9]

We won't sign up until later this year. I was just getting the league together.

[SteezeFactory]

I say quality starts instead of K/9 as well. OPS, I don't care either way.

[SpeedDemon9]

One vote for quality starts.

[Back Double Biceps18]

One vote for quality starts.

I'de rather quality starts over K/9 as well.

[drinkblatzbeer]

Quality starts is a decent stat...better than K/9...

OPS is also a good indicator for hitters, however, i was actually very happy in another league last year that used OBP instead of AVG, no OPS in that one either...

eh...the biggest thing, at least in my opinion is that we don't go overboard on stat categories...
it's not about everyone being on equal footing, but who can use the categories there are for their advantage...

Well said, fully agree.

It is looking more and more that I will add quality starts. I say we keep it 6 x 6 and leave it as that.

[LikeAMachine]

In for the championship bitches!

[pedobearu_aware]

[SpeedDemon9]

I think we are going with 12 teams.

Posted in the other thrad earlier..I'm in

Sorry I missed you in the earlier thread when I took players who wanted in. I can put it to a vote with the league to add two more teams.

[pedobearu_aware]

If somebody backs out/loses interest just let me know.
