we needed a 6th cat for the pitchers and it is a measure to keep people from reaching 35 IP and sitting on the ratio cats.

Damn not sure how I missed that
I guess the thinking is the want for 6 cats, so break up the cat that already encompasses OBP/slg to make 6 hitting cats and add a pitching cat that is meaningless to make 6 pitching
Should've just kept ops and counted ABs as a stat
Yea it's my fault for missing it but I would have never thought IP was in play for a cat

There is an innings floor of 35 for every team right?
Why would innings also be a cat?

I think IP adds another strategic element to pitching.

The addition of innings pitched is a cap-tip to one of the most increasingly appreciated skills of a pitcher during the fantasy baseball era: generating outs. Remember, innings pitched is a direct calculation of outs recorded by a pitcher, innings pitched times three equaling his number of outs recorded. A pitcher has but two goals when he's on the mound: record outs and prevent runs.
Why pitchers haven't received more credit historically for their innings pitched in fantasy baseball is puzzling, but as the real game evolves, pitching staffs become more specialized and efficiency of outs recorded further drives managerial strategy, individual pitchers' innings totals will greater reflect their contributions. A quarter-century ago, in 1988, 37 pitchers totaled 215 innings or more, and 20 of them had WHIPs higher than 1.20. Last season, 12 pitchers worked at least 215 innings, and only Clayton Richard (1.23) had a WHIP higher than 1.20.

Not if you are already being forced to throw 35 innings
If IP is a cat I shouldn't be forced to throw 35. I should be allowed to punt ip at my discretion I think

Innings floor for each individual week is 35. But there is a minimum IP requirement for the season set at 750 IP or something like that. 35 x 19 weeks only equals 665, so you actually have to average about 40 IPs each week to qualify for the season long minimum.
I know LE questioned that a while back and Redd mentioned the season long minimum was just an oversight, but I don't know if that was actually removed or not.

these would have been excellent questions to ask 2 weeks ago

You don't think I would've raised hell?
Not sure how I missed it. Need to look back. Wonder why it wasn't brought to the table to discuss thiugh

Yeah that will be changed to 665 in just a minute.

Well, I think you have to have some limit otherwise someone could get one perfect inning from a reliever and shut in down. They could easily register 3 cats that way. So how far you go above 35 is up to the team. I think it maybe should be 30 instead of 35 just to make sure you throw a few starts, but that was settled a while ago.

You have to make 6 starts regardless. 6 starts should get you 35-plus innings by themselves. If your 6 starts only average 5 inning per start, then you've probably had a couple of starts that has blown up your ERA and Whip for the week.

the 35 inning rule already incentivizes innings

False.

1. Each team must pitch a minimum of 35 IP OR have at least six starts per week.
