With starters outings getting shorter and shorter and wins being a total crapshoot and horrible judge of performance, any recs for leagues replacing QS or W's?

Paul Sporer

2:47

It's tough!! straight up IP gives nothing to the quality of said innings so that's not viable. I really don't know the alternative. Chat, any thoughts?

Desperate, confused Marlins fan

2:48

You can replace W's with QS'

Paul Sporer

2:49

But look at his question, he's saying that starts are getting shorter and curbing QS, too

Need something cumulative apart from W and QS

2:49

My league has used TB allowed, not perfect but its something

Paul Sporer

2:49

Ooh that's pretty interesting

Aaron

2:49

Junk W's/QS's and implement a high minimum IP, and problem solved. You need a lot of quality innings.

Paul Sporer

2:49

So ppl can't just stack RPs

Walt

2:49

Replace with IP/G? Then it penalizes relievers while making the few elite starters even more valuable.

Paul Sporer

2:49

Also interesting

Reggie

2:50

Projections like Trevor Story but my confidence in him is waning. What is you outlook on him?

Paul Sporer

2:50

You gotta at least wait for a homestand, my dude. That's why we draft Rockies!

kuff6

WTF are the rockies doing with McMahon?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Not playing him :(

Rhys Hoskins

2:50

Why you no like me? I'm on pace for 50+ steals...speedy Rhys.

Paul Sporer

2:51

LOL. It's never been about dislike. It's allll about the cost. Didn't want to pay his price, but definitely like the talent. The 2 SB have been a nice bonus

Ken

2:51

Walker Buehler worth stashing in 12-team redrafts?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Would need SUPER deep benches

Jake Junis Priest

2:51

Imagine if I never met the broski's!

Paul Sporer

2:52

turn the O2 into the O3, dawg

John Olerud

2:53

Shallow (10- or 12-team mixed) roto. Cole Hamels as fifth or sixth starter, or opt for more upside guys like Flaherty, Gohara, Folty, Junis, etc?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Liking Junis. Gohara and Flaherty would be in the picture with a role. I'm not ready to cook Hamels, btw. Hamels/Junis is close

andrew

Ottoneu Fangraphs Pts, should I trade Bregman ($10) straight up for Moncada ($12)? Also have Donaldson, Rendon, Senzel rostered to cover 3B. Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:57

No, I think you're paying $2 extra for the worse player

Mike

2:57

Whats up Paul! 12 team points league. Would you rather own Brandon Drury or Bradley Zimmer? My OF is pretty stacked with JDM, Judge, Pollock, Polanco, Conforto. 2B/3B I have Moncada and Chapman

Paul Sporer

2:57

I think Drury makes more sense with your setup

Tom

2:58

Thoughts on Pivetta dominating the Marlins yesterday? Yes, the Marlins are bad, but they have faced Darvish, Quintana, Sale, and Sale thus far and no one has made them look as uncomfortable as Pivetta did yesterday afternoon.

Paul Sporer

2:59

Pivetta's got some legit stuff to be a streamer in shallower leagues and hold in deeper, but we gotta see if he keeps the ball in the yard regularly this year. Marlins just aren't a credible HR threat

Doug

2:59

How tightly would you hold onto Buxton in a league that doesn't value SBs?

Paul Sporer

3:00

At least a couple more weeks absent any other useful context

Bill

What about game score for starters to replace QS?

Paul Sporer

3:00

Like average Game Score? The thing is, can all ... or even any ... site handle that?
