Is this benefitting any particular type of players too much, I don't want to give any specific type of player too much of an advantage, to the point that player values to dramatically changed.

it just seems like a lot of double counting to me, K's and K/9, AVG and hits, just different ways to get the same stat. HR, OPS, and TB are gonna favor power guys, but speed guys have AVG, H, SBs and K's, so hitting seems balanced enough. I dont understand using IP as a cat, cuz that just encourages people to start way too many SPs...also having CG and SHO as cats seems weak because they are very random and almost impossible to predict

Overall it seems like many cats are counting the same or similiar things, you could eliminate a few and make things much simpler.

Good stuff, I was thinking about throwing out CG and SHO anyways because it's H2H and basically any week that you get 1 of wither you're going to win the cat.

i would eliminate 2b and 3b too if you're going to have TB

BA
2B
3B
HR
RBI
R
OBP
SLG
SB

i dont like counting BB in addition to whip. maybe something like k/bb, but that favors strikeout guys even more.

[Snakes Gould]

why not count down obp and slug into ops?

[FrankGore]

yeah combine OBP and slug into OPS and drop BB for pitchers cuz it is already counted in whip, that way you have a nice 8x8 league now

Are you the commish making these settings?

There is a forum set up for commish questions here:

I prefer OBP and SLG separate for fantasy. OPS is a good quick and dirty stat but OBP and SLG ratios are not equatable. Just my $.02.
