I think it's a fair idea especially for teams that have a fair amount of players who are on the DL or just flat out blow this year
I don't know, maybe we could take a vote on it
I think we should do a silent auction of some sort middle of May to pick up players who aren't drafted
Rather than screw over teams that used up all their cap, I think we should give money to everybody, but more or less depending on how much they have left (like $50 bidding for somebody with little money left and $100 to bid for somebody with a lot of cap left)
Another option is to do it like a waiver wire, where the person with most remaining cap has the #1 waiver and the person with least remaining will have the last waiver
I know that Carpenter and Felix are going to improve, but Gallardo had a high WHIP last year as well, which worries me, and if having an injured pitcher is never a good thing
My 1st month pitching was absolute s*** other than Cahill, wow I fail
King Felix W-L 3-2 ERA 3.32 K 35 Walks 12 WHIP 1.20
Gallardo W-L 2-1 ERA 5.70 K 23 Walks 13 WHIP 1.57
Carpenter W-L 0-2 ERA 3.89 K 29 Walks 10 WHIP 1.22
Cahill W-L 4-0 ERA 1.88 K 33 Walks 12 WHIP 1.12
Cueto DL all season
My lineup has blowed cock too other than Ethier, Young, Polanco, and Castro too
FML
For hitters I was thinking RUNS HR RBI XBH AVG SB
For starting pitchers W-L QS (quality starts) ERA WHIP K
For relievers W-L ERA WHIP Saves Holds K/9
I mean these are just some options
I think that all teams should be responsible of keeping a running tally on their players stats starting in May - and to update it every two weeks or so
I think it would be silly to completely ignore the wealth of undrafted players who will break out
I think sometime in May we should have an auction of some type to try to acquire players, at the expense of your salary cap
It would be cool to see how the scoring would have played out in the roto format, making the categories for defense Fielding %, Assists, and UZR/150, hitting could be HR, .AVG, .OPS, NSB, and pitchings wins, saves, ERA, WHIP, BAA, K/BB
I expected WB to be #1, and y228 and dipre to be top 5, and for the bottom two to be near the bottom, but that was about it. Little bit disappointed with where I stand, but it's meaningless so whatever
I will freely say that I had your team towards the top, but I could understand that the lack of firepower and big names in your lineup would turn some people away from having your team at the top. It really all comes down to perspective, especially when it is extremely difficult to predict how these players will do next year, heck fantasy analysts get it wrong 90% of the time.
I'm interested to know how this works after the season, because with a season worth of statistics it will most likely be easier to differentiate the teams from one another and decide upon a winner.
