Ok here is my take on categories:
Offense
1. OBP
2. Slug %
3. HR
4. Extra base hits (rewards the doubles hitters)
5. NET stolen bases (rewards smart base running, not volume bullshit)
6. Runs (one raw counting stat that isn't power)
The optimal lineup is balanced, slightly skewed for power but that is the modern game.
Pitching
1. Quality Starts (wins are crazy bullshit stats, they are like Holds for me-nonsense)
2. Saves + Holds (not each separately)
3. ERA
4. WHIP
5. k/9 (prevents the low leverage middle reliever from dominating via K%)
6. K's (rewards volume K's from starters but the rest of the rules punish you for streaming or dominating with a bunch of middle relievers)
With the 18 IP minimum this really changes the pitching dynamic from the last few years imo. A true K heavy starting ace is now the most valuable piece on the board (pitching wise).
I don't offer this up lightly, it's the exact opposite of what I have wanted to see because it was easy for me to compete with a bunch of bullpen scrubs and focus on hitters (not that it helped my pack of sissies any)
Thoughts?
