    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?

     Sounds good

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

    Leave runs too.

    Why both wins and QS?

     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?

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

    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.

    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.

     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.

    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?

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

    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.

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

    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)
