Standard Rotisserie Totals to Win Category?

[rmande09]

Sorry for the poor wording, but I'm looking to see if there has been or will be any type of gathering of statistics to determine the AVERAGE amount of something necessary to win a category in a standard rotisserie league (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3 OF, UTIL; 2 SP, 3 RP, 2 P) with the standard 5x5 categories. Meaning... What is the usual amount of home runs it would take to get 12 points, or the total RBIs to get 12? Thanks a lot guys, I apologize if this has already been asked.

The following is the average stat total for each category winner, again taken from default public roto leagues from the 2006 season.

Code: Select all

R     HR     RBI     SB     AVG     W     SV     K     ERA     WHIP
858   232    833    125    .290     79    111   1,031  3.80    1.26

Perfect - thank you!

It would be a lot more useful if they included the standard deviation for each category.

Very true. There was also a thread on this a while back where someone collected data from Cafe members who participated in Roto leagues and posted the findings. I tried searching for it, but was unable to locate it - maybe someone else might have better luck finding it?

At first glance, the 3.80 ERA seems pretty high to actually win the category. I would expect it to be closer to 3.60 or lower in competitive leagues.

Saves and SBs probably have the highest standard deviations given that one person can really focus on one of the categories and bring either up to around 200.

Yeah, I remember that thread too. Another thing I dont like about Yahoo is that a lot of their numbers come from bad/inactive managers.

Yea you should only use numbers from privately owned leagues to get your stats in my opinion

The thread you are asking about is in the Frequently Asked Questions section on the Board Index. The thread was started by Rynman I believe it was off the top of my head and I don't think he ever posted the total avg he got from whatever submissions he received.
