Baseball Statistics - what do the letters stand for
I'm in a fantasy points league with completely inane scoring. I'm intent on winning it by exploiting a loophole that allows unlimited transactions and having a starting pitcher pitching everyday. If I list out all the categories and what they are worth, maybe you guys can help me find the best way to exploit them.
Category Pts Stands for: AB 1 At Bat R 2 Run 3B 5 Triple HR 2 Home Run RBI -2 Run Batted In SH 1 ? SF 1 ? SB 3 Stolen Base CS -17 ? (Caught Stealing)? BB 5 Walk IBB -1 ?? HBP 10 Hit By Pitch GIDP 1 ?? A 1 ? (assist)? E 2 Error W 5 Win CG 25 Complete Game SV 5 Save H 1 Hit R 1 Run IBB -30 ?? HBP -30 Hit By Pitch K 1 Strike Out WP 10 ?? BLK 100 ? (Baulk)? SB -15 Stolen Base GIDP 10 ??? SVOP 5 ? (Save Opportunity)? HLD 1 ?? TB -1 ?

Re: Baseball Statistics - what do the letters stand for
SH- Sacrifice Hit
SF-Sac fly CS-caught stealing IBB_ Intentional BB GIDP-ground into Double play A-Assist SVOP-Save Opp. WP- Wild pitch BLK-balk HLD-Hold, like a save, cept even lamer. TB??? I dunno, total bases, but that doesn't make sense with your list.

Re: Baseball Statistics - what do the letters stand for
Wow, this scoring is extremely retarded. What I suggest you do is just calculate points per games of players and exploit people who don't have those.

Don't worry, everytime someone makes a post in OOT about baseball, the Jack Signal goes up.

Re: Baseball Statistics - what do the letters stand for
Thanks for the explanation. The league is just created so my friends and a I can hurl offensive insults at eachother, no one is really too serious about baseball, and most people only update their team 5 times a season. My plan is too crush those who are too lazy to care, it makes it easier to talk trash that way. One interesting quirk I noted is that while HR's are worth 2, RBI's are worth -2, therefore a HR can only hurt you. I think I need a lot of speedy lead of hitters who hit for average, like Ichiro, but he's not available. I think as far as pitchers go, ERA isn't really a factor, so i just need to find guys who are going up against other crappy pitchers, like Tampa Bay's number 3 guy whoever that is.
