I am the spreadsheet bitch and am posting it for download after every few picks, along with a .jpg of the standings and category totals every round.
A rule that may be lost in he shuffle is picks 5, 10, 15 and 23 are "blind" in that we are sending those to a third party so we don't know the exact totals until the very end.Follow me on Twitter @ToddZola

We actually use a 10x10 format (5x5 career hitting, 5x5 best year hitting, 5x5 career pitching, 5x5 best year pitching).
Unfortunately, the VD history didn't migrate over from the old RJ site before it was shut down. I believe VD I was a format similar to the one you are currently playing. We end up throwing twists into the standard 10x10 format such as using (only once) letters (first name or last name), teams and/or decades as well as limiting the number of deadball era, normal era and contemporary era players.
I have all the VD draftworksheets from the ones I've participated in (from VD XII to the last one VD XXIII), but OaklandA's, KS, joncarlos or JA24 probably have some of the earlier ones.
If you want any of the draft history spreadsheets or a draftworksheet with automatic draft and standings to look at, just let me know, Todd.I always liked Alfonseca and he is twice the pitcher Hall of Famer Mordecai Brown was - cavebird 12-8-05

No promises, but there is a chance if the idea catches on with the NFBC that some commissioner software is developed for scoring and maybe even drafting. Again, no promises and I probably shouldn't have even said this much.Follow me on Twitter @ToddZola

Ed Walsh was the second pick!?! pffffft...amateurs
Granted, without a decade restriction, he moves up the draft board, but ahead of Big Train (or any number of hitters)?"Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Is anyone doing the pitcher ratio dump and loading up on hitters with all their early picks? That's gotta be the way to win a league designed like yours, I would imagine. Though I didn't look too closely at your innings limit. If it's too loose, you might be able to do a Johnny (punting wins and K's and loading up on good hitters early).
If you've got at least one smart player in your league, you're going to definitely have to punt something in order to win.
I have a feeling the Mr. Squidward power punt wouldn't work with most of the deadball hitters locked out by your rules, though."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

I have the top 5 pitching seasons as follows:
1. Ed Walsh 1908
2. Walter Johnson 1913
3. Christy Mathewson 1908
4. Pete Alexander 1915
5. Sandy Koufax 1965
and then a fairly big drop from there to a group with Jack Chesbro, Three-Finger Brown, and Denny McLain.
I have Walsh, Johnson, and Mathewson pretty close at the top, but the dynamics of your league are going to be slightly different, of course."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Originally posted by OaklandA's View PostA good ranking - hard to disagree with the top of that list. Some seasons that I had around #20 are Pedro 2000, Eddie Cicotte 1917, Dutch Leonard 1914, Russ Ford 1910, and Gagne 2003.
Cicotte-21
Leonard-54
Ford-29
Gagne-55
This is without removing multiple seasons from the same pitcher.
Rankings will of course differ by method and especially treatment of ratios. My draft list was not necessarily simply the rankings, with strikeouts usually the strategic difference maker.Follow me on Twitter @ToddZola
