Stat catigories

[Cubsfan2803]

I was setting up a yahoo 10 - 12 man head to head league and I selected all of the stats that I thought were good idea's. I think I over did it because I have 19 categories. Out of these which stats best show a players worth? The league is going to start C,1B,2B,3B,SS, 3 OF, 2Util, 2SP,2RP,3P,6bench and 2 DL.

R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP, SLG,
W, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, QS, BSV

thanks

Personally, I am a traditionalist, so take this for what it's worth - I think any more than 6x6 (hitting and pitching) is just too much.

I think you can easily eliminate H, 2B, 3B and combine OBP and SLG to get OPS, leaving you with R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG and OPS

and with pitching:

I would eliminate SHO, K/BB, BSV and roll with either QS or Holds as a sixth category alongside W, K, ERA, WHIP and Saves

Hope this helps man

What he said. Don't overcomplicate things.

3B's and SHO are bad ideas. Triples are pretty rare so your going to see a lot of teams randomly win that category each week. SHO are even more random and you will have most weeks end with a tie in that category, only occasionally will you see a team pull out a W in that category.

Thanks, how does OPS work?

Thanks, how does OPS work?

on base percentage plus slugging percentage.

depending on what kind of players they are(whether they hit for power or not) a good OPS is anywhere between, .700 and could go over 1.000 (real elite power hitters)

One caveat - I would say a "good" OPS would be more in the .800+ range personally

Don't get rid of K/BB!! Seriously that's easily the best pitching cat on there.

I would:

Hitting - HR, SB, AVG, OBP, SLG
Pitching - K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, SV (I guess, I mean I really don't like any of these aside from K/BB and Ks, but I guess these are the best on the list).
