Alright- Based on all the advice I've been reading here, I've made some moves to change my team around. I really have no idea what I'm doing so any help is appreciated.
I'm not sure of the terminolgy you guys use, but it looks as though it is a 10 team, 11 x 11 scoring system (does that mean the number of offensive categories scored vs. the number of pitching categories?).
Here are the categories:
Offense: R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, TB, and AVG.
Pitching: IP, W, CG, SHO, SV, ER, BB, K, GIDP, ERA, and WHIP.
A few things come to mind in looking at this. One, scoring for hits and singles seems to be a bit redundant, doesn't it? I always hate these leagues because they seem to double score for everything. Also, I like OPS for a category and it is missing from here. For pitchers, I'm not sure how the pitcher plays a role in the double play, but it is here, alas. Sinced there are 11 categories, you can see why I just ignored speed. I lose stolen bases every week to win the other 9 or 10. Am I wrong on this thinking?
Anyway, here is my new roster:
1B- David Ortiz
2B- Jeff Kent
SS- Felipe Lopez
3B- David Wright
Util- Scott Rolen
Util- Melvin Mora
OF- Adam Dunn
OF- Pat Burrell
OF- Vernon Wells
C- Jason Varitek
BN- JD Drew
BN- Jeremy Hermida
BN- Edwin Encarnacion
BN- Curtis Granderson
SP- Roy Oswalt
SP- Tim Hudson
RP- Chad Cordero
RP- Jason Isringhausen
P- Erik Bedard
P- Daniel Cabreara
P- Kelvim Escobar
BN- Francisco Liriano
BN- Chris Young
BN- Oliver Perez
This is how I was going to start the season with the lineup, and any advice would be helpful.
