Oh hell yes, please remove Innings and k/9. I'll also suggest removing k/bb

Sign me up. I'm in.

[Del Murder]

Spuuky and eest are in so add them.

Sort of a silly question too:

What exactly is a keepers league? Is there any way to create one for us? I know I'd have kept some of my players from last year if we played with keepers...

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

In keepers league you keep your players from last year. That's the major difference, I'm sure there are other rules based on rookies and stuff. Using the draft and getting a new team each year is one of the most fun parts though, so I wouldn't like it.

[The Captain]

Aha, I see, much obliged.

Honestly, now that I think about it, I'd only keep two players, so perhaps I'll just draft them first and then create a whole new team.

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

I think all of us would keep Pujols, Cap.

[The Captain]

Halladay too, probably.

Take care all.

Who said I wanted to participate? Lies I tell you.

I suggest doing aleague with the only scored stats being Runs scored and ERA. For the record, if you redid our standings from last season using only those two categories, only one or two people would have swtiched places. Del would still have won, I would have been second, etc. Kinda interesting.

Anyway, 6pm EST would be about the worst possible time for me. I'd prefer noon EST. Anyway, during the month of March I'm working every day between 6-9 PM EST, so that's why I'm opposed. I suppose I could take a day off but I'drather not use vacation for that.

For stats, we need to have a balance between hitting and pitching stats so one isn't more valuable than the other. Unless you want it that way. I mean, if we have 12 hitting/fielding categories and 7 pitching categories, it makes pitchers highly undervalued. Maybe not though, if you say a top closer is only good at three categories or so but absolutely essential for those same categories.

Anyway, I suggest these categories:

hitting: avg, obp, slug, H, BB, HR, SB, RBI

fielding: po,as,fp

pitching: era, whip, wins, saves, holds, K, K/BB, BAA (batting average against, if that's an option)

doubles and triples seem somewhat extraneous and i like the balance of categories I proposed. The fielding are a nice balancer since they punish you for playing people out of position (like using a DH as your 1B, Pujols as your 3B (although you can't do that anymore) etc.)
