Need New Scoring System

[chrisetc21]

No they don't. Scoring can be different per position though.  But hat being said an OF assist happens once a week maybe twice.  Why should this stat impact the scoring when I am not drafting a defensive OF.

Maybe you can give OF's much higher point values on assists.  So if there's one outfield assist for every fifteen infield assists, you rate one fifteen times higher than the other.  Same thing for put outs, if there are two infield put outs for every outfield put out then reflect that in the scoring.  One thing we can certainly do is give negative points for errors. 

My big issue with the defense is the DH.  A DH that has the same offensive stats as a position player isn't as valuable as that position player and that's a big reason why the defensive stats need to be in there somewhere.

Range factor is no good, it is simply a number based on assists and putouts per inning played. It still greatly favors 1B and C.

Runs saved and dWAR are both really a cumulative statistic.

It may just be as easy as a penalty for errors.

Franchise GM has tried to come up with a scoring system based on value, not sure how it has worked out for them but its interesting: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=10496.0

Curious what a top 20 player points leaderboard would look like with hitters and pitchers mixed in on that type of scoring.  Anyone in that league?

That is a big revamp.  Something like that would have to be implemented in the offseason 2014.  But good thoughts.

By this I meant just removing assists and putouts from the current system.

Ahh....sorry bout that.  Gotcha.  I think Assists are better stat than Putouts.  Especially if we make OF assists more valuable per assist then say a SS.  PO for a 1B is a waste of time IMO.

Those lists look really good except it looks like closers and relievers in general would be incredibly devalued.
