Across the league, we have exactly as many QS as W (1,251). I kind of expected it to be close to 1-to-1.
However, at the team level, we go from ima (96 wins on only 75 QS) to FutureGM (76 wins on 98 QS).
Among the leading teams:
I have 84 W on 95 QS (-11)
Jeffy has 87 W on 78 QS (+9)
Quincy has 81 W on 87 QS (-6)
ima has 96 W on 75 QS (+21)
gg has 95 W on 84 QS (+11).
You picked up 3 wins from Ben Casparius and 6 from Edwin Diaz.Dazepster wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 19:24 pmAn Old Friend wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 17:09 pmAssuming you vultured quite a few relief pitcher wins?Dazepster wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 17:08 pm76 Wins with only 61 QS's!!!An Old Friend wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 11:21 amI have 90 wins on 93 qualifying starts, although apparently neither of those are worth mentioningmattmitchl44 wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 03:20 am BTW, the relationship between QS and W is somewhat wild.

My assumption as well. Yet, haven't done any forensics as using site on Mobile App and have limited data. Not a clue as to what guys I cut may have provided as don't see it on Mobile app.
I can tell you this. While I have an abnormally low QS total I likely have the most Starts of 5 and 2/3 or 5 and 1/ in the History of Fantasy Baseball.
And the most Grand Slams by a Team in a season. Yet, just about every one of them was hit by a guy in a bench spot. Lol
Brutal Season. Can't wait till the Next Draft. Going to prepare for it next time..

I think you’ve been a short a starter or two all season. You’re only about 30 IP ahead of youboughtit, who started the season with a million injured pitchers.

Thx for that info.
I guess they don’t trust him like the Brewers just did with Misiorowski. Left him in through 7 innings and he was still throwing 100 mph gas at 108 pitches. You didn’t want him… oops.

You asked for Walker in a counteroffer, which I have proposed again to you.Dazepster wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 19:50 pmFortunate I didn't want Walker.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 23:18 pmI guess they don’t trust him like the Brewers just did with Misiorowski.

Bigger picture
I am morally conflicted on trading at this stage of the season. You have not been the only one sniffing for a SB guy, Save guy, Home run bat etc etc.
This is why.
I have no conceivable gain..12th place, 11th, 13th. Matters not. They all Suck.
Yet, by flipping an asset to a Contender I can have an outsized effect on the remaining race.
Also leaves one open to being called out for favoritism or attempting to assist a fellow owner vs the field.
In the absence of having a Keeper a trade deadline is a necessity IMO.
Yeah I think it’d be good to have a trade deadline, as well. It can be late but still should exist.Dazepster wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 19:50 pmFortunate I didn't want Walker.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑08 Sep 2025 23:18 pmI guess they don’t trust him like the Brewers just did with Misiorowski.

Just feels like a lopsided trade could sneak through cause the bottom half checks out and doesn’t review anything. Stealing Alex is a prime example.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 21:24 pmWhy, though?An Old Friend wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 21:08 pmYeah I think it’d be good to have a trade deadline, as well.

I suppose the scenario Daze described could happen, but the league can veto bull[shirt] collusion trades.
Wonder if Daze was worried about the impact on the remaining race when he asked for Freeman in exchange for Chandler Simpson?
You could have said this before I wasted three weeks trying to negotiate a trade.Dazepster wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 19:50 pm

I don’t think Yahoo has the mechanics to do that in a live draft. If it does, I’d rather someone else run the draft. Maybe it could be done offline, but that complicates the process considerably and it can drag on for days.mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑10 Sep 2025 05:37 am If you want to keep people involved I think you have to give them something to play for.
For example, you could award the league champion an additional 5th round pick in next season's draft, the runner up gets an additional 6th round pick, etc.
I don't know if the Yahoo draft would allow QV as Commish to pause it, let someone message their extra pick, let QV manually add that player to their roster, and then restart the draft.
Since everyone makes an extra pick at some point you just end up eliminating the last round of the draft.
Alternatively you could perhaps make it a one keeper league where the prior year's champion can keep any player who isn't in the top 75 of overall players, the runner-up could keep any one player who isn't in the top 90, third place keeps any one player not in the top 105, etc.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑10 Sep 2025 08:36 amI don’t think Yahoo has the mechanics to do that in a live draft.

I’ve considered making it a money league next year w/ a very small buy in. That would keep people active longer…
