Undoubtedly Fantasy Baseball has become one of the most popular hobbies by more than one million players participate each year. But still, there is always room for things - that's what my ex-wife always said when I announced that I officially become perfect.
Once a year, I like to get on my soapbox and complain about things in fantasy baseball I want to correct. Normally you would in Festivus, for the issue of complaints, but this year I'm in the middle of the holiday, my impersonation Fancy Scrooge.
6 things wrong with BBQ Baseball
You see, I'm not saying that all is bad - I'm just saying I'm always right. (Most of the time. Sometimes. From time to time).
A point in last place in the categories Fantasy Baseball
Why computers that the fewest home runs in the league have a point to say? Do not get zero points? Or is such a participation medal? Everyone wins? It was to the point, how Millennials now believe they have the right only after obtaining the degree of inclination? I do not want to blame a BBQ theme.
How can I solve the problem: In a league with 12 teams, the top team in each category will receive 11 points Grill, instead of 12, all the way to zero points for the latter. FACT!
Rotisserie Baseball Fantasy Points
Speaking of BBQ point, why use it at all? Would not it be better if we the categories in a different way, to cut the teams Punt Categories rewarding those who dominate several categories punished?
In other words, if my team hit 275 homers Fantasy, and the second best team in the league hit 238 home runs, I want it, a little more than other fancy a topic grill be.
How can I fix the problem: I wake Grill 78 points in a class of 12 teams (12, 11, 10, etc.), weighted to show the difference from last to first. If the last place team receives 150 home runs to get a score of zero, and 150 is the benchmark for other statistics to compare. If you deduct 150 switching all the other computer, and add all remaining home runs (say, 650), total and divided by 650 HR-150 computer, then multiply that percentage to Grill 78 points. So if HR 275 would have RR champion, they would get broken 15 points ... ((275-150) / 650) * 78 = 15. And secondly, if they would have made 252 home runs, 12.24 points broken. .. ((252-150) / 650) * 78 = 12.24. If the penultimate team met 166 home runs, get 1.92 points broken ((166-150) / 650) * 78 = 1.92. And finally, of course reset.
It's that simple!
Wins do not tell, we want to hear
Often the triumphs end up going to the players who do not deserve (Not jugs entering a 1-1 draw in the eighth), or a victory to a pitcher who six innings wrong terrible 15 -8 outbreak as excellent, victory a man who gave dominates. It's not fair and it's not really an indication of the value of a player.
Some people argue that we use "quality start" in the "profit", but it's just a bad statistic replaced with another bad stat. While a quality starting pitcher eliminated by this attack (why do we punish or for any guy pitcher are to the plate when you? Do rewarded with their little Nick), there are still large by the pitching. A quality start is determined by a player who is at least six innings and allowed three earned runs or less. You should call a "top quality" named "Jeremy Guthrie start." Do you really want to merge pitchers ever saying "The fact that many pitchers Jeremy Guthrie pitched and"?
How can I fix it: I use "deviations from the pure quality" instead. Measures five variables to determine whether a parent or start was disastrous. Each output is rated on a scale of 0 to 5, wherein a point for each of the following:
- At least six innings
- They should be allowed more hits than IP
- His strikeouts must be equal to at least two less than its IP
- Withdrawals must be at least twice as many batters, while walking
- If not, more than a house allowed
Our friend Ron Shandler of BaseballHQ.com to create, helped these new statistics explained better.
"The outputs that apply a dominant 4 or 5. Outputs to make a receiving 0 or 1, the disasters are considered. If you hide the relationship from the dominant ideas catastrophe [] during the season, but often find jars with head" , - Shandler
Children forgotten middle-helper
Fantasy Basketball allows users to play a player at any position and perhaps rewarded. In football manager, most traditional leagues have not reward individual game defensively (half of each NFL-list), offensive linemen or bettors. However Fantasy Baseball is somewhere between the two batters and pitchers such as sports are all numbered, but the average pain relievers that are involved in the double play as an opener, the game stops are relevant to the yellow category. (Of course, his ERA / whips can do much damage, but still ...)
How can I fix the problem: I have already mentioned that I invented stat - the shlubs! For the (+ Save Dit) - (+ sabotage loss), and I think it is a good way to get a good reward relief pitchers, regardless of race they enter the game.
Top 10 shlubs 2014
- Greg Holland, KC - 41
- Craig Kimbrel, ATL - 40
- Fernando Rodney, MAR - 39
- Zach Britton, BAL - 38
- Mark Melancon, PIT - 38
- Kenley Jansen, LAD - 36
- Huston Street, LAA - 36
- Trevor Rosenthal, STL - 35
- Francisco Rodriguez, MIL - 34
- Jon Papelbon, PHI - 32
23-28 round designs are too long
Most Rotisserie leagues use a list of 23 men, which means a proposal for 23 rounds, not counting their points bank, pushing the project in about 27 or 28 laps at least. Too Much. It's a fun event in a very long afternoon, and the players of fantasy football with ADHD bounce off the walls of the round 17th
How can I fix it: I propose to reduce the tails of a bouquet. Although I categorically against these leagues Broken a starting catcher, I mean especially those starting lineup of 22 men. If we cut ready to use to Head leagues header, then I'm for it.
It is time to empty the second receiver, infield in the middle infielder, outfielder large intestine and colon construction. If the talent for your taste (too many superstars) is done too rich, then just to make an AL or NL-only league instead.
The fact that these cuts, you can have a starting lineup with 16 entries, including a batsman and seven pitchers. Once you four points bank to reduce the 20 laps for your project and less time by about 25 to 30 percent is to add. Please.
$ 260 salary cap and Budget Math Bizarre
For owners, the auction Rotisserie instead of using designs that salary cap image too heavy for my taste. You can say that it definitely created by an American, the same people who like to walk 12 inches, 36 inches feet yards and 5,280 miles to stay instead of passing easily divisible metric system.
In fact, the salary cap was set at $ 250 for 22 players when they were first created Rotisserie leagues. Then the boys get older Rotisserie be decided The French, a certain point hitter and an additional $ 10 in the space of the CAP in order to add it to compensate.
How can I fix the problem: I have been doing life easier, to make the salary cap of $ 1,000, with fine rounded? The only problem is - the auction would be much more because people are slip-up $ 1 at a time on a DVD $ 175. In addition, many of these $ 1 and $ 2 players as you can see, it would be used, provides now up to $ 4, $ 5 and $ 6.
But it has a much truer indication of the players who would give $ 1 only worth $ 1 and the really good players.
Also, I'm much more interested in a footlong hotdog few feet long, but that's to complain for another blog.
