They don't let you use quality starts as a stat (which I would imagine many would use due to the luck that goes into getting a win), but they do have useless or rare stats like balks, shutouts, intentional walks, and batters grounding into double plays. Anyone know why Yahoo has this weird selection?

I've been wondering the same thing. Our league uses CGs, but have been wanting to replace that lucky category w/ QS for a while now. Let's hope they get that stat in there for next year b/c we almost made the switch to ESPN for that ONE category.

I'd guess because 'quality start' is a bit subjective? I mean, what you personally would consider a quality start to be might not be the same for other players/managers.

Quality Start is not subjective. It's 6 IP or more, with 3 ER or less. That's it.

So what if a pitcher pitches 5 scoreless innings, but gets relieved due to a high pc or huge lead by his team (or even because his team needs the run and puts in a PH)?

It's not a Quality Start. Makes as much sense as the Hold stat. :-D

I've also noticed this. We should mention this to one of the Y! guys and see if we can get QS as a cat next year.
