I'm not the commish this year, but I established this league with these settings to have a sabermetric approach to fantasy baseball.
It's very different: SP is undervalued, PO's make having multiple 1B a must (Aurillia even has value in my league: POs from 2b?), and closers are only drafted b/c they tend to be good relievers. No McClungs here.
I do recommend this format; it's fun to try something different. I just wished it's roto this year. The 20 IP is too easy to reach. I feel I have too much SP, and I drafted 1 in the first 10 rounds.
Hehe, is aurilla not good this year? I actually drafted him in my 14 cat league, with added ops and tb bc the league is h2h and he has multiple eligibility with good avg/ops.
Anyway, I would definitely trade out a couple sps that gets alot of wins, like schilling, because his perceived value is higher than his actual value in this league.
In the two previous years of this league, I drafted a guy exactly like Schilling.......in the 13th. Two years ago, I traded Maddux and Bagwell for Teixiera, and last year, I traded Mulder for K-Rod.
This year, I'm going to see about maybe keeping Schilling for a bit (that bb/k is elite), but you are of course right. Schilling plus Dunn has already been offered for each of the top 3 RFs (sadly rejected).
Like some of the posters above your offense is fairly solid but if you could get a stud pitcher than your team will be a good one and tough to beat if everyone stays healthy
You sure did get some high value picks in this draft as previously stated. Reyes and Sizemore. I personally like the Zumaya pick. I tried getting him on both of my teams, but the guy picking just before me drafted him. I hate it when that happens. Oh well. Good team though. I like the scoring format you're playing with. It's different and gives you a different aspect of picking players compared to getting the guy with the most long balls or wins in a season.
First, thanks for your comments on my post. I've obviously been thinking the same & thus the post. Problem is pulling the trigger.
On yours, I love your squad, especially in the offensive categories. In terms of pitching, there are a couple names that jumped out at me from the wire; Garza & Maine. They both are sleepers who could produce for you in mulitple pitching categories. I don't have any experience in this kind of league but have heard nothing but good things about Garza & Maine this year. I have both on my roster.
I would also look to see if someone like Salomon Torres or Octavio Dotel are out there as they may assist in categories rather than wins...
Good luck!
