I'm sorry I'm harping on this, if you guys disagree let me know. I'm just trying to explain my view, given I'm probably doing a shitty job, so we can agree on the best way. I just want the league to be as accurate as possible, however I understand if you guys see things differently. I've been in both roto, head to head and points leagues... My strong preference is head to head, points leagues. I've been in a couple very competitive league for 5-6 years now and dropped the others.
We have to pull out the ratio portion and establish properly weighting point values for relevant statistics. Otherwise, this won't work. Anyone else follow what I'm saying here?
Only way this league will work is a points system based on the following formulas...
Hitting 48% Runs Created ((H+BB-CS+HBP-GIDP)*((S+2D+3D+4D)*(.26(BB-IBB+HBP))+(.52*(SH+SF+SB))/(AB+BB+HBP+SH+SF)Pitching 36% H.Times FIP ((13HR+3(BB+HBP)-2K)/IP)+3.20Fielding 17% RF (Putouts+Assists)/Innings Played at a Position
1. Fantrax doesn't properly weight pitchers and hitters ratios based on each sample size. It simply averages each hitters' and pitchers' ratio (regardless of at bats and innings pitched) causing a huge margin of error.
2. I can simply plug a minor league player into a weak position to skew my numbers (simply adding one counting category doesn't remedy this problem)
3. The margin of difference from one ratio statistic to another is simply thrown out, this is a huge discrepancy.

I love the idea but it's all a waste of time if the scoring doesn't reflect team performance.
Why isn't the K/BB ratio weighted by innings pitched? That would be the proper way to use this statistic... For instance the Dodgers team K/BB ratio would be much more heavily weighted by Billingsley's ratio over Hong-Chih Kuo. This would be a more accurate depiction of quality of team pitching. Why include RA when we have FIP? FIP is a more accurate statistic measuring essentially the same thing.
