redghostx Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 This thread "reads" like a lot of whining. I don't see why the categories need a massive overhaul and not just a tweak. Head to head works fine because 6 teams make the playoffs and anything goes and many of us are not stat junkies, myself included as the only stat that matters to me is when Tulowitzki will be on the DL. Also, I liked the number of bench (maybe reduce by 1 or 2) and DL spots that we had last year as it forced you to decide whether to keep the extra players on your roster, using up a bench spot, or set them free - drafting and picking up reliable players is part of the game.

hxckid88 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 7x7 With a complete checks and balance in stats. So I think *** gets over powered. One of those stats should be holds+saves combined. I think the above would Make everyone happy and is fair. I'm taking a rod first round. 50 Homers 350 ba all yeahhhh.

NickKim38 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The 7x7 will be fine. It just changes the way you draft and hit the waiver wire. As for people giving up, this is the brickpicker league and there's no quitting in baseball.

sroster Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If they quit, oh well. So long as at that point they don't get talked into trading Mike Trout for a bunch of crap players that are waiver wire types. I seriously doubt anyone would pull that crap here but I assume there is some sort of block against lopsided trades, especially since money is at stake.

pcaster Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Whatever we settle on works for me. I'm not a complete baseball nut, but the extended stats really aren't difficult to get a handle on. Many of the broadcasts that I see already reference Holds and OPS - they shouldn't be foreign to anyone who is interested enough to play fantasy. Either way, I predict a middle of the pack finish for team pcaster but I'll have a lot of fun along the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I propose last place receives a Chima fire bike. That's just cruel, and I thought the autographed picture of HXC was mean. Right now the way I have it set up is 6x6, which is how it was last year. The only scoring changes I believe are Hits are now K's for batters, and Quality Starts are now Losses for pitchers. The Saves category is now Saves + Holds, allowing for many players to fit into the Relief Pitcher slot, and not just closers. That will help us with the extra teams we have this year. To those that don't know what a Hold is, it is essentially a save for a middle reliever. He must pitch in a save situation (winning by no more than 3 runs) and at least record one out. There are some perennial good Hold guys, but like closers, many change every year as a guy that is excellent at Holds generally becomes a closer if/when that guy starts to suck. The roster size is for the most part the same, though I have eliminated the Utility player positions. Last year we were 23 deep per team with 10 teams, 230 players. This year, if we went with the same size roster with 16 teams that would be 368. That would be a waiver wire wasteland. Rosters have to be pared down some.

I actually reslly like this and see it as fair. Of anyone sees any glaring issues speak up. If possible I'd like maybe just 1 utility position. Do away with a bench spot for it. 2 dL spots.

Veegs Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Gah! The MLBrickers have been lazy on posting in this thread and have missed a lot. We want in! Also, 16 teams for head to head would be better. And I have a strong desire for revenge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I am in, but only if my team entry doesn't result in an odd number. I won't have the time to go through the waiver wire like last year so I will delegate that to my resident pro. I finally updated my profile picture to reflect... well nothing - the final was a 5-5 tie last year Oh and big welcome back to Veegs, you were the team that I was really worried about playing in the knockout round.

hxckid88 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 We have 16 teams now. Entry is closed at this point unless we get two more people. I'm counting on everyone joining. Hopefully I'm not being overly Optimistic. I agree with everything Huskers. Also what was discussed via pm. Only thing I'd maybe change and just give me ur thoughts, as other shave mentioned to me they would like to see walks counted. So instead of k category what about hits plus walks like saves plus holds. Maybe have a vote on this? Others, feel free to chime in.

Cbenioff Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 More standard than adding walks or hits would be just adding OBP. I see this done a lot. Please max out DL spots. Injuries are common and our waiver wire won't have much to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbenioff Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 By the way, when are invites going out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grackleflint Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'd like to see strikeouts kept so there's at least one negative stat for batters and, if we want to stay at 6, put in OBP instead of average (for walks, rather than hits + walks). I'd also prefer QS instead of W's for pitchers so people will actually have SPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbenioff Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 QS is better than wins. But then you would have to replace losses. Perhaps with K/9 to give relievers a bit of a boost to undo the damage done by holds. I don't see the appeal of K's as a stat for hitters. Some hitters are more strikeout prone but just as good and this makes them less valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxckid88 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Invites want out. Still need a few emails from some of u. Huskers..... Based on ever and feedback I've gotten. All the changes you are doing are good. With the exception of strikeouts. Let's make it obp stat. Makes it easy to understand and covers a bit. Obp to those who don't know is on base percentage. Ur player gets on base via walk hit yay. He dosnt no point. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
