Okay, here's where we're currently at:  

Hitters:               Pitchers:
R                       Wins
HR                     ERA
RBIs                   WHIP
SBs                    Ks
Total Bases         Saves + Holds
OBP                   K/9
SLG                   K/BB

I wouldn't add anymore from here, but we can optimize the 7 or remove one from each (Total Bases and K/BB, I imagine)

It seemed that if we were switching from .AVG to .OBP (which makes all the sense in the world) that having .OPS was a bit duplicative, so I just used .SLG as the second category there.  

Let me know.

I'd vote to remove either SLG or Total Bases...those are basically the same, with SLG probably rewarding playing time much less.
I'd vote to remove one of the K categories to even it out...probably K/9.

DPD...

Or we can full on statfaggery and use BsR instead of SBs and WPA instead of S+H...etc, etc.

I'm only half-joking.

You understand we're using Yahoo and not FanGraphs for our league, right?

Let's try to get 6x6 or 7x7

Okay, here's where we're currently at: 

Hitters:               Pitchers:
R                       Wins
HR                     ERA
RBIs                   WHIP
SBs                    Ks
Total Bases         Saves + Holds
OBP                   K/9
SLG                   K/BB

I wouldn't add anymore from here, but we can optimize the 7 or remove one from each (Total Bases and K/BB, I imagine)

It seemed that if we were switching from .AVG to .OBP (which makes all the sense in the world) that having .OPS was a bit duplicative, so I just used .SLG as the second category there. 

Let me know.

Fun Fact:

In Yahoo's 2017 Fantasy Baseball, Kris Bryant is eligible at 1B, 3B, LF and RF. 
I don't recall the threshold from last year to get there, but it's something like 5 appearances at each. Doesn't really matter.

If you isolate those positions, here is how Bryant ranks:

1B: 1st
3B: 2nd (Arenado)
LF: 1st
RF: 2nd (Betts)

The best or 2nd best at four of the eight fielding positions.

League has been renewed.

In an effort to keep things fresh, we're going to dress up and role play change a few categories for 2017.

Here's how it's currently set-up - would love some feedback.  

Goal here (for pitchers) is to have the best to balance between starters and relievers, while also increasing the overall pool of players from waivers that are rosterable.

Pitchers:  
Previous            New
Wins                 Wins
Ks                     Ks
ERA                  ERA
WHIP                WHIP
Saves                Saves + Holds (combined category)
Holds                Quality Starts
                      K/9

Other realistic options - either to add or replace:
Innings Pitched
Total Based Allowed
On-Base Percentage Against (this is probably my favorite option, but it's not that different from WHIP, so I'd think one or the other.)  

Hitters (adding one since we added one for pitchers):
Previous            New
Runs                 Runs
HR                    HR
RBI                   RBI
SB                    SB
AVG.                 AVG.
OPS                  OPS
                      Total Bases

Other realistic options - either to add or replace:
Basically nothing.

If we want to go back to 6 categories, then we can remove Total Bases and remove one of either Quality Starts or K/9 for pitchers.
Another option is to replace Wins with Quality starts, but then it's a category only for starters (whereas relievers can pick up wins.)  

Would love thoughts.  

Other information:
Keepers Due: 3/24
Draft Date: 3/26 (Sunday before Opening Day, per tradition.  Currently set for 8pm Central Time)

You should have received an invite, but let me know if you didn't.

I'm expecting some turnover this year (Simmer, Thrill...) so if you're interested and have no played in the past, post here.  
Or we can play with 10.

1. Tom Brokaw
2. Joost van der Westhuizen
3. Gord Downie
4. Rod Carew
5. Titus Young
6. William Perry
7. Jerry Lewis
8. Rod Gilmore
9. Scott Putesky
10. Nick Nolte

HIT

#10 on my list.

#2 on mine.

We're eventually going to crowdsource this thing

If everyone wants to post their list, we can do this fairly quickly, albeit with less panache.

Former prospect Andy Marte died in a car accident yesterday as well.

He doesn't need his own thread.

Is this show good?

Glad they did this now instead of during the season.  Donald Trump would have spent 40 minutes ranting about what a bitch Laura Ricketts is for supporting Crooked Hillary (as Todd Ricketts uncomfortably stared at his shoes).

Cogs looks like he would have really preferred they waited another 4 days.

Of course Penis a "we're not big TV people" guy. Of course.

Of course guy who feels the need to have an opinion on everything has an opinion on this.

We recently finished watching this show about a month ago. 
We're not big TV people, so I don't have a big basis for comparison, but it's the best show I've ever seen.

We started watching The Wire last night and, while I assume it will be great, I spent most of the first episode waiting for Walter to come out.

People who know say that you should watch the first 4 episodes of The Wire back to back to fully get in to it. I don't know which I would put over the other but I love them both.

People who have 4 consecutive hours of free time?

Sorry, my eyes rolled out of my head after reading this part so I didn't finish your post. My wife is typing this for me.

Our TV is 50", so I guess maybe we're medium-ish TV people.

Updated through 2016.

I'm officially declaring victory on the Cutler Era.

Obviously there were multiple other factors, but he was the captain of the ship when everyone decided they didn't care about football anymore, and that's more than I ever imagined could be ascribed to him.
