OF will make up 33% of the offense. - The 20 teams combined have won 126 Yahoo trophies (average of 6.3 per team). The most trophies won was 20 by Raza. - Only 7 SP had a 1.10 or less WHIP in 2006. In 2005, 9 SP reached that mark (minimum of 100 IP). - The only other catcher to post a .400+ OBP (Josh Bard) ranked 413 last season. - Jamey Carroll posted the 5th best OBP among SS and ranked 300 last season. - Juan Pierre tied Carl Crawford for 2nd with 58 SB and finished ranked 104th last season. - Raul Ibanez ranked 6th in RBI and finished 48th last season. - Aramis Ramirez ranked 9th in RBI and finished 50th last season. Â Top 100 Breakdown Last Year (Most to Least) *Note: Some players may cover multiple positions and 'skew' the numbers* - 36 SP (10 in Top 50. 01 in Top 25) - 21 OF (15 in Top 50. 08 in Top 25) - 14 RP (09 in Top 50. 05 in Top 25) - 10 1B (06 in Top 50. 05 in Top 25) - 10 SS (04 in Top 50. 03 in Top 25) - 09 3B (05 in Top 50. 03 in Top 25) - 03 2B (01 in Top 50. 01 in Top 25) - 01 C (00 in Top 50. 00 in Top 25) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted March 12, 2007 Draft is tomorrow night. Â Alan, may I suggest adding a soft minimum innings requirement. If one wanted to, they could draft one top reliever, get a perfect inning from him, and clinch top ERA and WHIP for the entire season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 There is no minimum requirement available. It doesn't matter in any case. A person could lock up WHIP and ERA yes, but they would punt wins, saves and strikeouts, receiving the minimum points in three categories. A person could not possibly win the league under those conditions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we're all disagreeing just to be "cool" *eye roll*  What exactly do you mean by fantasy novices? As far as I could tell, only 5 teams had never played in a Yahoo baseball league prior to 2005. That doesn't mean that they didn't play in leagues elsewhere (ESPN, CBSSportsline, etc.)  If anything, many of the teams have been in leagues since 2004 at the least. Unless you meant rotisseries novices? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Novices in that many here have no idea on draft value and are homers. Â But, unfortunately, the Yahoo rankings are accurate for the most part. I wish sites wouldn't be n00b friendly. Fuck ethics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Well, at least you can take solice in the fact that some of us know (or like to think we know) what we are doing in terms of value and such. You can always look for "Saber" friendly leagues too where competition might be higher. I joined one and the draft was one of the most difficult I've had in terms of 3/4ths of the owners throwing out their draft plans because guys kept getting stolen, etc. Â My draft in that league (12 Teams) with pick 8. Scoring is 10x9 with H/HR/SB/BB/K/GIDP/TB/OBP/SLG/OPS vs. HA/HRA/BB/K/GIDP/ERA/WHIP/K to BB/K/9 1: Miguel Cabrera 2: Joe Mauer 3: Miguel Tejada 4: Ben Sheets 5: Scott Kazmir 6: John Lackey 7: Ray Durham 8: Barry Bonds 9: Adam LaRoche 10: Erik Bedard 11: Rocco Baldelli 12: Brad Hawpe 13: Takashi Saito 14: Justin Duchscherer 15: Andy Pettitte 16: Mike Gonzalez 17: Carlos Quentin 18: Kiko Calero 19: Ryan Shealy 20: Dustin Pedroia (my only homer pick) 21: Brad Penny 22: Pedro Feliciano 23: Matt Murton 24: Wilson Betemit 25: David DeJesus 26: Joe Blanton 27: Matt Thornton 28: David Ross 29: Rich Aurilia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 13, 2007 I don't like picking players from my own team. If they bust, it's enough having to deal with it from one end, but I don't want to have to deal with it on both ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 I'll take the best players that fit my criteria. Â Joe Mauer works in the these TSM leagues. Â I thinK Jason Bartlett will be a good fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Mauer works well in every league. Â It all comes down to how much one values drafting the elite player at a position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
