FUCK THAT SHIT. i want a league where random guys are good and there are more possiblities to outsmart people other than paying attention on the waiver wire, which just rewards again, democracy. i'm not into democracy.ptbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839114506627123131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20276223.post-1135893903882492422005-12-29T16:05:00.000-06:002005-12-29T16:05:00.000-06:00no standard 5x5 isavg, hr,rbi,steals,runsw,saves,k...no standard 5x5 is<BR/><BR/>avg, hr,rbi,steals,runs<BR/>w,saves,k,whip,era<BR/><BR/>i do not agree that wins are dumb but thats why i think we should have some sort of voteOmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434717890144899798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20276223.post-1135891273812763112005-12-29T15:21:00.000-06:002005-12-29T15:21:00.000-06:00no one seems to agree what standard 5x5 entails --...no one seems to agree what standard 5x5 entails --<BR/><BR/>is it HR, H, AVG, Steals and RBI / W, K, WHIP, ERA, Saves? <BR/><BR/>because that's *1* rate stat for hitting.<BR/><BR/>also, seriously, not be a moacir acolyte here, but Wins is pretty dumb, if you think about how many games kevin millwood won last year while posting the best ERA in the AL. same goes for Clemens and Pettitte, too, really. They were much more valuable than other pitchers, even if the Astros offense prevented them from "winning" 20-22 games like Bartolo Colon did.ptbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839114506627123131noreply@blogger.com
