re: FSBDL Redd Rankings

Nope

It's not... the HC league uses HD and S-BS as two separate scoring stats. I hated it broken up like that.


And yeah, part of me is bitter than in the playoffs two seasons ago I had a set-up man blow a save and it cost me a matchup. I didn't even need any more holds, but blown holds isn't a stat.

I don't mind the IP category. It prevents a team who loaded up on RPs from dominating the pitching statistics. And I say that as someone who used that strategy.

If you don't have at least two categories geared solely to SPs (like QS and IP), then RPs become overpowered and everyone in the league would have loaded up more on them. Especially in a 20 team league.

What other category would everyone liked to have seen in there that doesn't weaken the teams that drafted good SP staffs?

I honestly like the idea of making the option of making the Minimum innings and then sitting on your laurels a little less enticing.

In tdbl if your opponent has three guys go on Monday and they all deal...they pretty much just sit on that and win ERA, WHIP, and K/9

if you see anger in any of my posts you are searching in the wrong place.


Like searching in a thread for a league you quit on.

Removing it would still weaken SPs and, depending on what category would replace it, give a team filled with RPs more of an advantage. It all depends on what would be replacing that category.

Look at my team. I drafted my pitching staff knowing I'd be punting 2 pitching categories each week. If IP wasn't there, that's one of the categories I was punting, my staff of RPs just got stronger unless you replace the IP category with one that's geared solely towards SP. But if you replace it with a category that RPs can compete in, then that now gives me 5 categories to compete in each week and I'd only be punting one.

35 innings or 6 starts insures you cannot load up on RP and get by

I am confident enough to roll my top 3 SPs out for the majority of their starts and let my 6-7 RPs pick up 10-15 innings each week. We'll see if 35 IP is enough to dilute the ratio's of my RPs enough that they wont matter as much.

Edit: I'm obviously hoping that 35 IP isn't enough to weaken RPs,

Not going to lie.

I thought the IP minimum was 30.

I'm freaking out now

6 starts/35 IP mean you basically need 6 good SPs to compete in pitching

This is absolutely false. Not one team has 6 GOOD SPs.
