Free all morning, busy as hell in the afternoon... figures. I do think that was my second fastest pick next to Cobb.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Do 2013 stats count in career stats ? Enquiring minds want to know...
If we didn't address it i think we should exclude them, not that it should make much of a difference. maybe we should have a Roto/Vintage hybrid for the next VD. Career stats /2013 stats---------------------------------------------

Traditionally, we factor in full seasons only that appear on baseball reference. 2013 will not be counting in the stats.
On another note, that Jack Quinn pick by Johnny just made me utter one word..."damn". I'd rather not explain now, but I will at the end of the draft.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I actually wanted to keep my options open longer which is why I waited ... but Knuckler could have legitimately taken Quinn's 1909, so I had to commit.
The two point thing was Feral and CJ's baby.

Originally posted by Controller Jacobs View PostThe point of multiplicative scoring was to reduce the value of dumping categories. I thought it went overboard in the penalty, leading to a situation where one last-placed category had to be made by two first-place categories and then some. The +1 may lean it back too far to dumping, but that could be corrected by adjusting it down to +0.5. I still think dumping should be a viable strategy, particularly since it's one of the strategies that helps new players (I did well in my first vd by dumping OBP). For anyone who thinks this somehow hands vd6 to johnny, I'd like to direct your attention to vd5.
You can punt 2 categories with normal multi scoring (punt saves, BA, career ratios etc)
You should be competitive while punting 3 categories with multi +1
4 categories is probably at the limit of mutli +1
(and of course combos that involve semi-punts etc)
The big problem with additive scoring was that 5 and 6 category punts were possible because of the dynamic that pushes people towards punting. Additive became "punt or else". I don't believe that multi +1 will push people on mass towards punt strategies becuase of the huge value of the middle and upper-middle numbers across all 20 categories.
Multi +0.5 is interesting.

I also thought real hard about taking quinn, but I couldn't take his good season so he wasn't as valuable to me.---------------------------------------------

I don't care if the +1 helps dumping a few categories or not...without some folks attempting dumping strategies the draft gets boring...it's why I don't like multiplicative scoring very much.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
