Ralph Furley Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have a copy of some fantsay baseball rules that they could PM me, or know of a site that I could find them? I started a fantasy baseball league last year, and am looking to tweak my scoring a little. The pitchers were really all-or-nothing, and I'd like to balance that out a bit. I would really like something like the Huddle's Perfect Scoring System. If you're involoved in an established baseball league, would you mind pointing me in the right direction in terms of scoring? Thanks a lot! Edited January 3, 2007 by Ralph Furley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 some pitching cat to consider: Basics: Wins K's Whip ERA Saves Whatever suites your fancy: Losses Complete games Holds (i like this one- value to those middle relievers) ground into double plays (i like this one- value to pitchers that all about the K) k's/9 innings etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, a win could be 12 points, a KO is 1 point, a loss is -5, and such. I just need a better balance with my scoring amongst players. Thanks for the info!

Atlas Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) This is the standard CBS scoring that we've been using the last several years. Hope it helps: PITCHING Wins = 10 pts Saves = 10 pts CG's = 5 pts K's = 1 pt IP = 2 pts W's = -0.5 pts HA's = -0.5 pts ER's = -1 pt Of course you really need to see what the hitting is to put it in perspective. Single = 1 Double =2 Triple = 3 HR = 4 RBI = 1 Run = 1 BB = 1 SB = 2 Good luck. Edited January 5, 2007 by Atlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) This is what I'm looking for. I have a PM coming your way...thanks whomper! No problem..I responded to your PM..I cut and pasted the top 30 in both positions but sorry the numbers are all jumbled..We have a great time with this scoring system. People have scored anywhere from 250 to 700 per week. I almost forgot we also have more bonuses grand slam 25 no hitter 150 perfect game 250 Edited January 7, 2007 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points. You could also question why a single is 3 times more valuable than an RBI. Whats more valuable to a team...getting a hit and going no where, or a sac fly that scores a run. Isn't the idea to cross home? There's also no reward for scoring a run. Seems that the emphasis here is indvidual stats vs. winning/team driven stats.

The exact thinking was since a 3b is harder to get then a HR and since they arent as common they get awarded more points..It also is a risk that people take to draft a triple hitter..Its kind of like drafting the goal line guys in football..In some cases they will come up hugh but if they dont get the TD they may dissapoint you a little..But thats onlky true to a point..Under this system the 3b guys are usually decent scorers anyway because they steal bases and get extra base hits..Reyes was the top scorer under this system Good points.

MHO I actually left that out by mistake..You do get 1 pt for a run. I can see your point on the rbi but its been that way since we started.. ..Individual stats are usually what drives fantasy sports..Changing rbis would really change the complexion of our league now..

Seems fair enough. That -12 for a loss is a real pig, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I see. Seems fair enough. That -12 for a loss is a real pig, though. I forgot to address that part of your post..You're right..It sometimes wipes out a great effort by a pitcher..Hard luck losses where a guy has a nice amount of Ks and doesnt give up many runs really suck under that -12 for a loss..Im going to try And get it down to maybe -7 Edited January 10, 2007 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethin Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Traditional H2H Scoring (except for the Doubles and Triples) Batting: Hit - 1 Double - 2 Triple - 3 HR - 4 SB - 2 RBI - 1 AVG Pitching: W - 10 IP - 1 (0.3 per out) SO - 1 SV - 10 ERA WHIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethin Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Another League I'm playing has this: SCORING Hitters: At Bat: -.5 Points Strikeout: -1 point Single: 2 points Run Scored: 1 point Double: 3 points Stolen Base: 2 points Triple: 4 points Caught Stealing: -1 point Homerun: 5 points Hit By Pitch: 1 point Run Batted In: 1 point Error: -1 point Walk: 1 point Grand Slam: 4 points Pitchers: Win: 6 points Effectiveness: (2 x IP) - (2 x ER) Loss: -1 point Walk Allowed: -0.5 points Save: 6 points Strikeouts: 0.5 points Blown Save: -2 points Hits Allowed: -0.5 points Complete Game: 5 points Wild Pitch: -1 point Shutout: 5 points Balk: -1 point No Hitter: 10 points Hit Batter: -1 point Edited to add: I just joined this league last month and I'm looking into the specs for what the error scoring means. I'll keep you posted. Edited January 13, 2007 by joethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Edited to add: I just joined this league last month and I'm looking into the specs for what the error scoring means. I'll keep you posted. Simply means that a player accredited with an error by the scorer gets -1 point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncosn05 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Do a lot of you guys play in point based stats or Rotisserie leagues. Where you win categories and then whoever wins the most wins that week. Not sure if Rotisserie is what it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you win categories and then whoever wins the most wins that week. Not sure if Rotisserie is what it's called. The only one I'm in has 12 categories and is played on a full week matchup, so you accumulate stats over the whole week in 12 different cats. At the end of the week (Sunday), there are 12 points alloted, one for each cat, so if you win 7 of them you get 7 points. These are effectively Ws and are added to your overall season W-L-T record. You get the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I think Rotisserie means you dont play head to head..I think you accumulate stats and the teams are ranked based on a stats system..I have never been in one though so again I may be off.

joethin Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I've played Rotisserie Leagues and I don't like it as much (probably because I zock at them ) Anyway the way the play it out is like this: It's everybody against everybody and you get points for the highest category(CAT) total for each STAT (HR, RBI, etc). e.g. 10 team league: Whoever has the most HR gets 10 points for that CAT If you have the second highest total in HR then you get 9 points, and so on. Your total of points accumulates from all your CATS - HR, RBI, SB, AVG, HITS, ERA, W, SV, SO, WHIP - would be a 5 x 5 rotisserie league. There's no playoffs (That I know about) and the winner is whoever ranks the highest across the board. A well balanced team can win the League without being the first in any CAT. I prefer the H2H method - either 4x4, 5x5, or Points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the picture. I think this is the type of league I am joining....NEVER played FBB before....football since '93, but never baseball..... My question is, how do you know who to draft? Is there a draft strategy? 8 teams in the league, so it appears to be a superstar roster on each team. what is the most difficult part of following this for a season? How do you stay focused for so long? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
