I am starting a H2H Yahoo league with some friends and some are pushing for adding two catagories, so what we have come up with is for batter OBP and for pitches Batting average against. Do you think these are good ones to add ( we dont want holds. )
One more question, does adding OBP make Barry Bonds the must-be #1 overall?

I actually use OPS instead of OBP as the sixth batting category - if it works for Beane. it works for me.
And why don't you want holds? that's the most sensible sixth pitching category to use.

meh. K/BB is implicitly accounted for by an innings limit and the Ks category by itself. theoretically, everyone will end up at or near the innings limit, so whomever has the most Ks also has the most K/BB...
anyhow, I'd go with OPS and holds, but if you don't like holds... then i guess BAA is good, too.

I disagree about the K/BB, unlike the others it is a rate stat. Examples from 2004:

We added Holds last year. And everyone loved it. It adds another whole dimension to pitching. I hate the way middle relievers are useless in Fantasy Baseball. I totally recommend holds.

oh, heck, i was thinkign of K/IP. HUGE difference there.
K/bb is a much better stat to use.
Oh that makes sense! Yes, K/IP would be redundant with an innings limit.
