Poll: 6th pitching category

[RocketsDWM]

The categories of pitching will be:

ERA
WHIP (could split up but for now I think we should keep it as is)
K
W
SV

We need a sixth.

Please vote only once. Also, only league members vote. If there are more than 12 votes, the poll is voided and we will start again.

Any more options to add to the poll? Just post in this thread and hopefully I see it.

We will keep the poll open until every member votes. Obviously, majority rules.

Losses was my choice, although wild pitches was a close second!

[AussieDodger]

Yeah I agree with the argument people were making for Losses.
A cap on moves would be too restrictive.

I'm voting QS. Still think that H2Hs are too RP slanted, even with churning. This still helps against switching in below average pitchers.

[Snakes Gould]

why would you add QS in addition to W's? that would only entice the churners even more.

I think Losses make SPs way too unattractive

Yeah, it would be tempting just to draft Papelbon, Putz, and another nice closer to secure a 4-2 advantage in pitching every week if done properly, unless there is a pretty high minimum innings amount to discourage it

I vote for Losses.
1, punish teams starting below average SPs, help preventing churnng.
2, offset the power of RPs. since we don't have Holds, RP usually means closer,
a bad outing for a closer usually results a Loss, meanwhile elite SPs don't lose often.
3, yes, higher minimum IPs is a must.

I voted for losses, but am an advocate of K/9

You have it all wrong. I'm not saying Losses are bad but they do exactly the opposite. Yes they do punish below average SPs but they make RPs more valuable because they have good ratios (2) possibly saves (1) and Losses rarely affect them (1). That's 4 categories to 2 (W/K) that a CL owns in over a SP and 3 to 2 that a good RP does. And yes higher min IP is definitely a must with losses because RPs become even better.
