We have a closer list, how about best setup men? Sleepers, updates, strategy, advice Note: Please do NOT post trade, keeper or 'rate my team' questions - they have separate forums.
Post by thedukeorsino » Fri Apr 01, am Rosters are slowly geting set. I know it won't be until a ways into the season that bullpen roles are truly figured out, but since it's seems to be rather hard to find accurate predictions for who will be the go to guys in the bullpen for a lot of teams, I'm wondering if you guys have any thoughts? Here are some of the best RPs most likely to be setting up that I know of: M.
Worrell Phi - RP S. Urbina Det - RP J. Madson Phi - RP S. Torres Pit - RP B. Calero Oak - RP R. And taking strikeouts out of the game, at this point, seems crazy.
You could put together a great team without any front-line starters — all relievers and some ground-ball guys, and your team is lights out.
And your worm-burner starters and stingy homer relievers get a bit of a boost, too. And on the offensive side, you weight power a little bit more, but you also value speedy on-base guys OBP and R without putting any emphasis on a stat like steals, which are less valuable in the real-life game. You can correctly weight the events so that they line up perfectly with real-life value. However, when it comes to game play, I have a complaint with points leagues. Trading can be strange.
You have to spend a lot of time convincing them that the player fits some other need, or will be more valuable in the future, blah blah blah. Holds make relievers other than closers more valuable. Other ways to accomplish this goal are to either add saves and holds together in one category if your provider allows it… or to up the number of Relief Pitcher slots in your league. The problem with having both batting average and on-base percentage in your league settings is that one stat is in the other.
A high average guy can now kill it in two categories instead of just one. Oh my! The setup allows for more trash-talking, for one. But then everyone, streamer or non-streamer alike, is watching their moves. It tamps down activity, and if you set it too high, you might still allow a player to stream a guy every week and take advantage of two-start pitchers. The easiest way to make streaming less attractive, though, is to replace strikeouts with a rate stat. In my experience, category changes are the easiest way to affect change — any other attempt to codify anti-streaming policies have unintended consequences think the lower level of activity that happens when you put a move limit in place.
For example, why not move stolen bases to net stolen bases? If stolen bases are a positive, being caught stealing should be a negative. And by adding ground ball rate OR homers per nine, you can reward pitchers that keep the ball on the ground, which we know is a valuable skill.
Just try to look at your stats and see, on a very basic level, which sorts of players your system values. Be careful, because every category you add dilutes the importance of any one category, and yet also gives you the opportunity to double-count some more and over-value a certain type of player. In other words, say out loud what your problem with your current setting is. Get the league to say what they think. You could even use strikeouts by the batter here, since strikeouts are correlated with power.
Takashi Saito — Member how well he pitched as the Dodgers closer? Yeah, we can see all that again. One will probably get 25 saves and the other will probably get My guess is Lyon will be the one with Matt Guerrier — If this list were simply about Holds, Guerrier would be top 3.
Oh wait, I can: very. This is more a heads up for deep leagues or keepers. Michael Wuertz — This is more of a gut call, but I think Bailey falters. Ow, I have tendinitis. That sounds like a recipe found on Worst Cooks in America.
I know why Anne Burrell always wears a skirt. Lots of risk with Romo, but if he can continue to baffle hitters he could be a nice find. Joel Zumaya — This is more of a flier than anything. Bard could still, however, be the most valuable middle reliever with his wicked fastball.
Wicked is being used here to add emphasis. She barfed all over a Havahd kid. What a wicked pissah. I think I love her. Is he a needed handcuff for Aardsma? Thank you so much, Grey!! Perfect timing! Ichiro vs. Ichiro might bat 30 points higher, but Pierre should steal more bases, runs will be very close Ichiro might beat Pierre out by like 10? Tony : Grey is not a fan of Ichiro. He never tells people to draft him, he tells people to avoid him. By the way Grey—nice work on the Yahoo!
I assume your contribution was not limited to the mock draft? You took some dicey outfielders and Coco Cordero?
