Need New Scoring System

[seanrmgallagher]

I don't hate it, but pitchers are not valued enough for me. Also, being top heavy is really beneficial offensively. Trout was worth 2 Buster Poseys and 2.5 Kershaws if I am correct in my calculations, and 4 Kimbrels.

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.

Agreed,  even assists are very situational.  The Tigers set a record for strikeouts by their staff so by default the defensive players got less opportunities for assists.  OF assists are largely dependent on players on base, 3rd base coach tendencies, outs, and score among others.  Even the advanced defensive formulas are inconsistent.  Matt Dominguez is an example, great defender to the naked eye, UZR hated him, Runs Saved loved him. 

No really good SIMPLE answers

The scoring system in this league values hitting over pitching pretty good. You would want to build a hitting lineup more so than a staff.

I think I'd prefer a more evened out system.  Clayton Kershaw and Mike Trout should be fairly equal in value.

Why not just tweak the assists for those two positions? Make putouts for 1st baseman half of that of other positions? To eliminate defense altogether, as one person suggested would make this league too much like ESPN and those other websites.

I love that defense counts, as it does in real baseball. You could even create custom scoring for each position. Basically all scoring is depends on several factors which cannot be controlled or calculated.

And it dramatically change the value of so many players and contracts it would be just like starting from scratch all over again.

I would prefer to leave it as is.

We will leave it as is....but we should really look into changing some of the defensive points per position.  Like PO for 1B should be lower.  Assists for OF should be higher.

Good points by all involved though.

Later today I am planning on doing a 10 year statistical analysis of where putouts and assists come from and normalizing to position. I will post results here

Wow, what an addition to the league. A Taco Bell 12-pack for you.
