      That's one thing I can improve on, I can look at players in the abstract but I've got to get better at projecting forward so I can see what players are best for my specific team.
      You lost anywhere from 10 to 15 points by massively overinvesting in pitching ratios ... maybe more with how multi scoring works. I know because you made it hard for me to get all the points I needed from pitching.

      "Why Ken? Why?" 😡

      ... was my mantra throughout this draft

        I think that number was actually closer to 5. And I'll take that all day if I can end up top 6 or 7 compared to last place last time.

        But to be fair, I only cost you 0.3 points in multiplicative scoring due to my BY-ERA being better than you. Otherwise I didn't take anything that would have helped you.

          I was hoping for a nice lazy draft, and you made me work for it!

                            In all seriousness, I think it was potentially much more than 5 points. If you look at how reinvesting those already strong ratios into hitting and pitching counting stats could have changed your scores across 6 or 7 categories, without necessarily
                            even reducing your pitching ratio scores, that could be huge.

                                I suppose. Although I was not regularly getting snaked, I didn't miss out on a many players I wanted due to taking the pitchers. Hard to say.
