Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help me out with my preparation for the 2006 fantasy baseball season.
I play in a standard 5 x 5 league: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG.... W, SV, K, WHIP, ERA.
I know stats like Runs, Home Runs, Wins and Saves are all team, lineup, ballpark, etc. dependant, and those are things I'd have to take into consideration when evaluating each individual player. But for now, I'd just like evaluate the players' skills, and not worry about the variables and different situations. I'm looking for stats that give the best possible indications of a players power, speed, and ability to make contact with the ball. So far i've used the basic BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, ISO, EYE (BB/K), and Bill James' Speed Score to evaluate hitters. But I don't know which stats are most important, which are irrelevent, and some benchmarks for all of them. For pitchers, I've read up on the "Lima Plan" which uses K/BB ratio of 2.0 or better, a K/9 ratio of 6.0 or better, and a HR/9 of 1.0 or less to identify pitchers with the best skills. I like this alot, but I haven't really found anything else, and you guys here could probably tell me the problems with it or hopefully give me some alternatives.
If there's anyone that can help me out here, or point me into the right direction I'd appreciate it a lot... thanks.
