Have proposed to our 12-team NL-only to punt this "season", freeze all contracts / salaries, and have a one-year Everything AND the Kitchen Sink competition.
Further proposed tuning up the worn-out 5x5 with BA, HR, SB, Runs Created (RBI plus Runs minus HR) and Plate Appearances, and W, SV plus Holds, ERA, WHIP, and K / BB. (Can't get TOO esoteric with this crew.)
But one owner suggests no more SB, and instead compute Total Bases plus SB less (HR*4). Outside of producing a stat (talk about esoteric) that ranks Mike Trout like the 50th most-valuable player in baseball, below luminaries like Yolmer Sanchez, Leury Garcia, Kevin Newman, Adam Frazier and David Fletcher (yes, THAT David Fletcher, at 5th behind Villar, Merrifield, Semien and Betts), I can't figure a purpose. Your opinion, Oh Great Zola?
