The Torres and Mathis transactions are complete for the Pirates.  I am releasing Taylor Tankersley and Virgil Vazquez at no cost.

Franchise GM: Clarifications & Discussion / Re: Re: Transactions FYI
« on: July 25, 2009, 10:28:41 AM »
So if for example a prospect is signed to a $2.0m contract, the signing team takes a $1.5m guaranteed cap hit for that year, plus the $0.5m salary for the duration of their prospect contract (including the current year, but they could potentially be cut at no cost).  Is correct?

Please let me know if I should post a question like this in a specific forum / thread.

The $2m would affect the cap.  However, you are right that the $1.5m signing bonus is guaranteed, and the $500k salary can be freed up if they were cut at any point in the season.  The prospect contracts remove the need for confusing arbitration processes for young players.

Definitely not going for that, I'd be sending you the best two players in that deal.  Rivera for Kemp straight up isn't going to work, I need a little more (not Arredondo/Kendrick) than that or for you to take some contracts off my books. 

:cough: Andrew Jones :cough:  :-X

There is big support for standard fantasy baseball categories such as R, HR, RBI, AVG, W, SV, ERA, WHIP, and HLD.  Also in support are SB%, OPS, FLD%, and K/9.

My comments...
I would include some standard categories, but they would be weighed much less than some of the sabermetric categories and ratios.  I do not like K/9 in this league as it has a bias against successful "soft-tossers".  OPS, FLD%, and WHIP are already included.  I may develop something like this for 2010 with weights in parenthesis.  It is also a goal to have some of the stats be ratios and the other half be cumulative.  Defense is important for position players as well.  I already talked to Fantrax about incorporating Fielding Independent Pitching ERA (FIP) for 2010.

Position Players
FLD% (4), RC/27 (2), OPS (1), AVG (1)
RC (4), R (1), HR (1), RBI (1), SB (1)

Pitchers
FIP (4), K/BB (2), WHIP (2)
QS (5), W (1), HLD (1), SV (1) <- I would rather have a category such as HLD+SV be worth 2 points

Within these settings, GMs get to see their player's on-field stats that they are used to seeing.  The amount of runs a player creates is about a third of the offense as an RC stat, but if you include the R, HR, RBI, and SB, it makes up just over half.  Defense is 25% of a position player's game, a bit less than the 33% we have for 2009.  Pitchers, the stats change dramatically as needed.  Quality starts are introduced along with common pitching game stats.  Quality starts are just games when your pitchers don't blow it, and beyond minimum IP counts, it forces teams to play their pitchers. FIP is probably the best pitching sabermetric out there.  

The weighting and many stat may be confusing, but I think this is a good middle ground for all of us.  In total, the stats are split 50/50 for pitching and position players, 50/50 for ratios and cumulative stats.  The appropriation of defense is in there in total 25% (FLD% and FIP).  And of course, it includes the sabermetrics that some of us want, and the basic stats that others want. :D

I'm willing to part with young pitchers and a big bat like Helton or Hawpe. Interested in any of them?

Yes.  Who do you want from the Pirates.
