Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / Re: Draft Pick Compensation for losing free agents« on: October 15, 2013, 06:32:32 PM »
I agree with Chrisetc21. No interest for me. Nice idea but the salary cap makes it unnecessary.

On the block
Jean Segura- 5 years club control left. Will cost a hefty price in prospects but definitely willing to deal. Also, as a rebuilding team with tons of cap space I would be willing to take on big contracts if you make it worth it. I have tons of holes and no depth so I need everything but especially looking for young pitching. 2104

Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / Re: Need New Scoring System« on: October 07, 2013, 09:34:48 PM »
I think everybody is making some good points. I agree that it is unfortunate that owners who have been around a while have built their teams around this scoring system and might be adversely affected if it is changed. I also agree with Nicole that if this league is founded on the principle of mirroring MLB it should incorporate defense and V-Mart does not deserve to be the best C nor even a top 5 catcher. While scoring the quality of defense would be difficult in AFB, defense does deserve to be counted for something, if nothing else just to detract value from DH types who obviously don't provide the same value to their MLB teams as players who play the field.
That said there are some clear flaws in scoring that must be addressed in my opinion. Any league that values Anthony Rizzo (719.2) more than Mike Trout (708.8) is clearly flawed. In an effort to be non-biased (as the Angels GM) there is no way Mark Trumbo (643) should be valued more than Andrew McCutchen (619.4). As a newbie to the league and combing through the stats and rankings it seems everything works pretty well in the scoring except for PO. The fact that 15 out of the 20 best position players are 1B eligible while only 1 primarily plays OF goes to show that it is unrealistic. While I agree with Nicole that the Catchers within themselves are already ranked appropriately because it most closely resembles MLB value it would be hypocritical to not do something about the PO problem. As far as fixes to the system my recommendation would be to decrease PO from 0.2 to 0.1 This would help decrease the wide advantage 1B have over others (and to a lesser extent C). The rankings of the 4 players I mentioned earlier would change to: Trout 672.9 Rizzo 590.2 McCutchen 587.3 Trumbo 546.5 While I still think McCutchen should be more valuable than Rizzo it at least addresses the problem and makes the league more realistic as far as position player value. It is unfortunate that rules would change after people built clubs according to these rules but if this league is to be what it says it is it must make a change to more closely resemble position player value. As it stands now it is very skewed and unrealistic. In my opinion the change should happen now at the beginning of the offseason. Sorry that my first post ran so long. Thanks, Shane 2110
