One of your gaggle of shortstops will have to step it up. :sneaky:

Always, Shadow Side Jedi.

Closers are an integral part of the game. A low leverage middle reliever is being asked significantly less than the guy in charge of getting the 27th out. If you combine the two stats, you've made them equals. That's not an accurate reflection of the game.

OBP SLG HR RBI SB R ERA WHIP Win Save Hold K/BB

No, I was trying to keep it simpler and similar to previous seasons with upping SP value a bit. Here’s mine… OBP SLG HR RBI SB R ERA WHIP Win Save Hold K/BB

I believe the very simple fix to the K problem would be to go from K/9 to K/BB. Shifts the category for the most part from relievers to starters. I definitely like going from BA and OPS to OBP and SLG. Other than that, I think it starts to get a little too redundant and complicated. And to...

That’s correct. 3 runs created on a 3 run HR.

If it hasn’t become clear by now, my only real disdain is for the hold. It’s the most idiotic stat known to man. You can pitch a 1/3 IP, give up 4 ER, take the Loss, and still get a hold. That‘s idiotic, and it happens more than you think.

What about combining saves/holds (saves+holds) and using Runs created (Runs+Rbi-HRs) instead of RBIs and Runs? This gives starters more equivalency to relievers and also gives better hitters more equivalency to HR heavy hitters.

What if we had no drop list rules? Chasing those K’s might also ruin your ERA and WHIP. The current “problem” as I see it, is that a low leverage middle reliever is more valuable than a starting pitcher, which is like the Madden 90’s glitch where you could recover the onside kick on every...

Maybe I’m not understanding, but pitchers are streamed ad nauseam in this league.

I am definitely no to both. There needs to be some reward to finishing top 2 in the regular season. If you want to value SP more, minimum IP isn't it. Changing from K/9 to K's would do that in a heartbeat. I went through last year week by week. Not a single team had less than 27 IP in any...

Yeah, it was like Encyclopedia Brittanica previously.
