Re: Um, Am I the only one who thinks Runs are an important statistic?
[ QUOTE ]
I think your league is on crack. Runs should definately count if RBI do. Sure, team performance influences runs, but it influences just about everything else, too. Go ahead and axe wins and losses and saves since those are team-based?

sounds good to me.
The goal of fantasy baseball, to me, is to acquire the group of the most valuable players. This can be done in a draft, with a salary cap, whatever. I want to limit the effects of others. Why should I care about Jim Edmonds if Albert Pujols is the only Card on my team? Why Bonds if Schmidt is the one on my team?
For batters... TB, BB+HBP, SB-CS
For pitchers... K, BB, HR
That's all we need. It'd be a lot better league from the standpoint of minimizing "team" stats. I'm sure I'd have to tool around with the actual categories. TB would be worth 3 points, BB/HBP 6 points, SB-CS 1 point.
K would be worth 6, BB 4, HR 2. Or something to that effect.
