"Fantasy Baseball 2012 - come and sign up!" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-10-12 AT 09:33 PM (EST)Here we go again, folks... yet another season of OT Fantasy Baseball is upon us! Plenty of intrigue this season with the debut of Yu, several mega-stars switching cities (and leagues), and so on, how will they do this season in terms of fantasy value? The 411: League ID# 23354 Password offtopic 6 hitting categories and 6 pitching categories - I put in one extra in each this year to see if there's any interest in using them. If you don't want them, please say so here or in the league's message board. R/HR/RBI/SB/AVG/OPS, W/SV/K/Holds/ERA/WHIP, the two new categories are OPS and Holds. Max innings pitched 1500. Live Draft: Monday, March 26th at 9:00 pm ET Any other categories or rules you might want to see this year or taken out? Keep it as a roto league or change to a head-to-head format? Try a live auction instead of a straight up draft? Etc. Let your voice be heard...

Interesting ... Miggy Cabrera might go from a top 3 pick to a second rounder if fielding percentage is factored in! Could you explain more on the strategy why you might not want a 3B or SS used at DH?

The way Yahoo! calculates the daily totals, every field player who had chances (i.e., everyone but pitchers) figures in to calculating each of the stat categories, no matter what position they play on your fantasy roster. Generally, 3B and SS players have the worst fielding percentages. So, if you have an actual 3B and SS in those positions (not a RF who is also eligible at 3B like Jose Bautista), and then you have one more at DH, you have three players lowering your team fielding percentage.Cabrera is a butcher at third, with a career fielding percentage around .950 (which doesn't reflect how bad he really is). He's similar to Chipper Jones, who was around .950 at 3B in his prime, with a low of .930 in 2009. I'm sorry to say that I had Chipper that year.

Quality starts provide a reward for pitchers who go deep into games, whether they win or not. The stat category increases the value of good starters on teams with poor offenses. Under normal roto rules, a starter who pitches 6+ innings and gives up no more than 3 runs but doesn't get a win only provides ERA, WHIP, and K's, and the addition of quality starts provides a reward for that effort. As for drafting, starters who pitch well but receive weak run support move up the list, but there isn't a huge impact overall.Like AyaK says, holds are a no-brainer category. A strong 8th inning guy like Bard could make a difference in the category, but there are tons of middle relievers who pitch in the 7th and 8th innings with a lead. I haven't been in a league with holds as a stat category, but at first glance it seems like one could compete in the category using only waiver-wire middle relievers.

So, someone like Doc Halladay could become a first-rounder with quality starts factored in (instead of a second-rounder), and a guy like Matt Cain jumps up a couple of rounds.

I'm certainly willing to try quality starts, if Yahoo! tracks that category.

There, indeed, is a category for Quality Starts.I have pulled up the complete list of available categories and am posting it here for y'all to take a gander at. Some of the cats are just ridiculous and shows you how certain people are so obsessed over baseball stats. Stat Categories Batters Games Played Games Started At Bats Runs Hits Singles Doubles Triples Home Runs Runs Batted In Sacrifice Hits Sacrifice Flys Stolen Bases Caught Stealing Walks Intentional Walks Hit By Pitch Strikeouts Ground Into Double Play Total Bases Putouts Assists Errors Fielding Percentage Batting Average On-base Percentage Slugging Percentage On-base + Slugging Percentage Extra Base Hits Net Stolen Bases Stolen Base Percentage Hitting for the Cycle Plate Appearances Grand Slam Home Runs Outfield Assists Double Plays Turned Catcher Interference Pitchers Pitching Appearances Games Started Innings Pitched Wins Losses Complete Games Shutouts Saves Outs Hits Total Batters Faced Runs Earned Runs Home Runs Walks Intentional Walks Hit Batters Strikeouts Wild Pitches Balks Stolen Bases Allowed Batters Grounded Into Double Plays Save Chances Holds Total Bases Allowed Earned Run Average (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched Strikeouts per Walk Ratio Strikeouts per Nine Innings Pitch Count Singles Allowed Doubles Allowed Triples Allowed Relief Wins Relief Losses Pickoffs Relief Appearances On-base Percentage Against Winning Percentage Hits Per Nine Innings Walks Per Nine Innings No Hitters Perfect Games Save Percentage Inherited Runners Scored Quality Starts Blown Saves Net Saves

I think we had enough stats already so I wouldn't add any.

You can add my vote for including quality start over hold. As far as the roto vs head-to-head format, I stank at both, so put me down as a definite "whatever".

13. "RE: Different subject." |
If I recall correctly, there were 10 teams in the league. I threw the question out there and there was no discussion whether to go with roto or H2H, so I left it at roto.

Would the system allow to track both H-to-H and roto? H-to-H seems more random to me because you could have the second highest score and lose the week.

That's certainly true - just as it is in MLB or the NFL, NHL, etc. as there are always games where both teams score a gazillion but there can only be one winner, likewise somebody's gotta lose a 1-0 squeaker. It all evens out in the end.

Might be time for Pepe to send reminders to last year's managers who haven't yet signed up for 2012.

31. "VOTE here please..." |
Last chance to vote on categories, we've had a good discussion above so please take a moment to refer to the above for a refresher. Here's your chance to vote on the cats we'll use this season: Vote:
Type of Match-up If we have an even number of teams, do you want: (a) Head-to-Head (weekly match-ups against each other) (b) Rotisserie (totals accumulated in each category for the full year, points given based on rankings) Categories
If you want to go back to last year’s categories, vote “Go back to last year’s categories” 5x5 … Batters = R/HR/RBI/SB/AVG, Pitchers = W/SV/K/ERA/WHIP OR If you want changes, vote your preference for both Batters and Pitchers: Batters – choose one option: Option A – AVG and OBP Option B – AVG and Fielding % Option C – OBP and Fielding % Pitchers – choose one option: Option A – Holds Option B – Quality Starts
