never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut

a proposal, not so different from standard 5x5

offensive:

slg, obp, sb, hr, runs

defensive:

era, whip, k, saves, total bases allowed [inning cap 1250 like usual]

re: assists and putouts. are you even serious here, carter? i mean, i'm not really looking forward to the day when "yes! three soriano putouts!" escapse from my mouth. esp. not if these are the stats we are going to keep using indefinitely?

total bases: they have this really sweet stat that tracks total bases per plate appearance. it's called slugging. hence why we should use it for pitching statistics.

IP is supposed to be a positive stat for pitcherrs, i don't know where this negative thing came from.
