Sabermetric Fantasy Baseball

Recommended Posts

This is a league I decided to start up last year and it was pretty successful.

 

The league is currently at 8-9 teams after I trimmed off some people who didn't play last year.

 

Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 2 OF, CF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, BN, BN, BN and 2 DL spots.

Scoring is weekly head to head points:

 

At Bats (AB) -1

Singles (1B) 5.5

Doubles (2B) 8.5

Triples (3B) 11.5

Home Runs (HR) 15

Stolen Bases (SB) 2

Caught Stealing (CS) -3

Walks (BB) 3

Hit By Pitch (HBP) 3

Innings Pitched (IP) 7

Hits (H) -2.5

Home Runs (HR) -12.5

Walks (BB) -3

Hit Batters (HBP) -3

Strikeouts (K) 2

 

Draft will be about two weeks from now. The date is subject to change as I want almost everyone to be there. If you'd like to join a league that requires a different kind of baseball thinking, then you would definitely enjoy this league.

 

Just ask J4L. PM me for league sign up information if you're interested.

if it's sabermetric why the HBP? how is that at ALL in the batter's control? kind of silly for fantasy. rather have OPS or something like that. also, K/9 instead of K's is a much better stat. You can't just stream them.

It's not a category league, it's points head to head, so K/9 is not really possible to do...

 

Plus HBP is counted in OPS, wOBA, etc. A lot of fantasy leagues also count RBIs and Runs, but those aren't really totally the batter's doing either.
