Also, in a fit of "I'm finally the commish" rush of power, I've finally slain that "W" stat in place of "QS." The battle was long and hard, but I've finally overcome it.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

QS is for suckers But seriously, why such an early draft? Spring training will barely have started by then.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Any thoughts about changing Stolen Bases to Net Stolen Bases and Saves to Net Saves?		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Well, we always move the date 10 times, and if we start with it too far back no one thinks about it and then there's no where to move it to. There will obviously be flaws with any stats, but QS is at least a direct, mostly comparable, measure of what the pitcher did. Wins are basically a coin toss, and the fact that wins can sometimes, almost at random, be assigned to relievers, is more of a con, than a pro. (Put it this way, we would never contemplate adding "wins" as a category for fantasy football qbs, so why is this that much different?) However, I wonder if we could have something so the non-closing relievers aren't pretty much worthless. (Though holds are stupid.) I guess I don't have a huge issue with the net categories, anyone else? We really don't have a lot of options, unless we want to add a few mostly all or nothing categories, like perfect games, no hitters, hit-for-cycles, etc.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Its just nice to do it late in spring training so that you don't end up drafting an entire team that starts on the DL. The players we will be drafting probably won't even have played in games by the 6th. I don't really like net stats. Closers are already punished for blowing saves through ERA and WHIP. And it would make middle relievers even more worthless since they get credited with blown saves as well.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Well, I picked a date because I had to. What date does everyone want? It needs to be between 7-8 if on a weekday (preferably not at all) Saturday after 3, or a Sunday.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

How about a stat for bullpen warmups? You know, for every inning a pitcher spends in warmup mode you get a few points?		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

what is "net saves" versus just "saves"? Is it saves per inning or something?		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Yeah, net saves might not be the greatest since their other numbers suffer too already. I think net steals would make things more interesting though.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

So is this draft actually happening tomorrow, with 6 teams? Alas I am not going to Florida this year. I closed on a house at the end of January so I am kind of wrapped up in things there. I will probably go next year and secure Mauer autographs on everything possible (assuming Mauer is there next spring).		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
