Total points per week wins.
The variance in scoring from day to day is pretty extreme.
I think the scoring for pitchers could use some work. I know we can't change anything until at least 2016 at the earliest but the negative points in particular dont make sense for pitchers. Example from a couple of days ago....Shoemaker gives up 5ER on 7 hits, 3Bb, 2K in 3 inningsDe la Rosa gives up 7ER on 9 hits, 1BB, 3K in 2 inningsLooking at the lines they seem close with De La Rosa a little worse giving up 2 more earned runs in one fewer inning. Fantrax scoring?Shoemaker (-25.6)De La Rosa (-5.6)The difference was Shoemaker gave up 2 HRs while De La Rosa didnt give up a HRThe way the scoring is now a pitcher gets roughly the same negative score for giving up a solo HR as they do for giving up 4 runs on 5 consecutive doubles. There should be less focus on HRs in the pitcher scoring, more on earned runs (which there is none)The league prides itself on accuracy and realism but shoemaker didn't put his team in a much worse position to win than De La Rosa
