So, when will people stop caring about Ws?

I agree that the wins are overrated as as measuring tool of SP. The thing that pisses me off the most is the cheap MR win. In the real world it has no bearing . . . no team is going to excited because their MR got 12 wins. They know it is a meaningless stat in regards to a MR.

However, under fantasy rules a win is a win is a win. The MR "loophole" needs to be closed in fantasy leagues. The rule is causing a result at odds with the intent of the game, i.e., it rewards a bad performance by a player. Fantasy leagues should have a minimum 5 IP to earn a win . . . problem solved.

yeah good point

40 games into the season, Oscar Villareal gives up a run (and the lead) in one inning of relief work in extra innings and is rewarded with his 6th win of the season, tying him for the NL lead.

Wins are dumb.

wins are the most overrated and useless stat in fantasy
