Scoring Category Discussion

[Deleted]

It's definitely a topic to be brought up at the next winter meetings, but for now, it's only logical for us to roll with the same categories we have been using for 4 seasons.

Agree. Rays is working on rule changes and can add this to his list.

You just want me to PM you, dbacks, and royals my ruling?

I thought you wanted to get a rules committee together ? You could run your discussion threads in the staff pages and we can jump in if we have a problem but I think the consensus is that we are in general agreement with most of your thoughts.

Well, I don't respect that. Changing batting average to SLG % would have more of a positive impact than a negative one, and anyone who says they've been building a team solely around the fact that both batting average & hits will be two of the hitting categories are full of shit.

Not solely, but I've made some big decisions based on the fact that hits basically count for two categories. How could anyone not keep that in mind when building their team? It's dumb, but a huge factor for this league.

Agree, I think we all make little decisions based on making our team as competitive as we can.
