2023 Degenerate Fantasy Baseball League

 Just wanna make sure we set it the way we all want

Wanna hear from all on these or any other questions

F Me In The Brain

Sure thing.

I like crediting Walks.  Getting on base is one of the most important things (if not THE most important) and Hits or Average does not measure the contributions that patient hitters provide.

I do know many who things Walks are crap. 

ed243421

 I’d be open to that

Walks vs. OBP?

F Me In The Brain

If OBP is in, HIts should be out, right?

ed243421

Pros and cons probably

I am no professor of baseball stats

i just like hashing it out

F Me In The Brain

You just like hash

Wins (W), Complete Games (CG), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)Swap out CG's for quality Starts.  Nobody pitches complete games now.Minimum innings at 18?  That forces you to have 2 starters pretty much.

Roster Positions:	C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, OF, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
Batters Stat Categories:	Runs (R), Hits (H), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Walks (BB)
Pitchers Stat Categories

Not sure what that IF is?  Lineup is 9 or 10 batters?

How many swaps can you do a week/season?

Make everyone have 2 catchers?  Wouldn't that be interesting?  

Love having BB for batters.

F Me In The Brain

I used to roll 2 catchers in the league I have run for 25 years or so.  Everyone bitched for so long I finally agreed to move to 1 C.  I loved having 2 C.

Open for Min innings being 18.

CG is a tough thing but they do happen.  We could remove and put Quality Starts, I dont see any reason that would not work well.

IF is any infielder.  Allows you another 1B or big hitter.

11 hitters.

I usually play with 10 man league, if we go 12 we might want to take away the IF and make it 10.  (I always like more, allows for people to pick deeply)

You can change your lineup daily.  (Or press a button and Yahoo will do the week for you)

Unlimited trades up until the trade deadline.

38 is the max # of additions. 

If a person makes it to the playoffs with their team by making very few moves I guess they can still stream (and thereby fuck up the entire season for people who play correctly) but with injuries, draft misses, and unpredictable performances I think we do need to have a good number of moves available.

 Sounds good

Wouldn’t we either wins or QS and not both?

F Me In The Brain

I think they are different but am open.  There are certain stats that benefit from being on better clubs, but they still are good ones to count.  (I think, at least)

Runs is another one.  You can get on base, but do you hit in front of good hitters to drive you in?

Leave QS and Wins.

Leave runs too.  

ed243421

Why both wins and QS?

ed243421

 Should a pitcher who throws 6.2 innings and gives up 6 runs, but their team scores 11, get the same result as a pitcher who throws 8 innings of 2 run ball and their team scores 1?

F Me In The Brain

OK, set up a Yahoo with the basic outlines above...we can always tweak.  Added 2nd catcher as well.

F Me In The Brain

PM me with email address and I can send invitation

are we doing same fee and payout as usual?  Not liking that 2 catcher option, such a weak position for counting stats, rather see another roster spot filled by pitching.....let me know draft day brothers, thanks

Not a fan of 2 catchers either.  Makes for a lot of garbage starting in a 12 team league and leaving 6 teams with no legitimate backup option.

F Me In The Brain

Good input, we can drop catcher and add INF back, or another position...can make changes up until draft day 

Payout question every year is if we pay for 3rd place or not.
I always vote Winner Take All but most don't agree.  
We can split up the pot however people like 
$25 entry.

All the years I played with 2c I don't recall anyone ever carrying 3c so they would have a backup.
Interesting.
We needed up getting rid as people just didn't like catchers beyond too 10 or so.

Pay first and last.

If you are stinking it up that bad you deserve a prize!

 B

how bout

runs
total bases
hr
rbi
walks Or OBP
sb

??

I like total bases more than hits (hash not included)

hits seems to equalize singles, doubles, and triples

thoughts?

I'd go for this and drop the AVG.

Leave Walks in there though.

F Me In The Brain

How it sits, now:

Roster Positions:	C, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
Batters Stat Categories:	Runs (R), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Walks (BB), Batting Average (AVG)
Pitchers Stat Categories:	Wins (W), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP), Quality Starts (QS)

Been requested to remove the 2nd C, which I can do.

I would like to add in another hitter -- INF is preferred...

So, swap average out for total bases? 

tempo_n_groove

I'd prefer another Util rather than Inf.  You can do more w that.

ed243421

Just hashing it out

what do you think?

F Me In The Brain

All good suggestions.  We already have a UTIL, which is why I liked an INF inclusion.  Roster makeup is part of the fun, right?  Making it wide open with multiple UTIL also messes with the draft a bit....people take best available more than strategic placement to fill the roster.

Argument could be made that any IF or UTIL messes with the draft.

Can continue to #hash it out, see what others think.

I sent the login in message to a handful that I know wanted in yesterday, happy to send to others as we get confirmation they are back.

nuzzer1

How about MI, CI in lieu of INF? Or has that been suggested?

F Me In The Brain

Hi.  I think that does certainly make it more strategic, but perhaps too much so?

Also IN is 1 guy, if we do the other we have 2 more hitters.  (Not that I would be against that)
