Fantasy Baseball - Why Traditional 5x5 leagues are outdated.

Written by Sam Neff


Continued from page 1

Why does it matter? So what if fantasy baseball is detached fromrepparttar reality of baseball? That's why it is called fantasy, right? And everyone hates Bonds anyway. Unfortunately,repparttar 132920 vastly divergent criteria used byrepparttar 132921 fantasy sports world andrepparttar 132922 real world to evaluate players drives a wedge betweenrepparttar 132923 hobby and mainstream sports fandom. Fantasy players become more geeky asrepparttar 132924 hobby (some would rather call it an obsession) drives itself away from real baseball. The 5x5 system demands that participants learn a new set of rules, and each new rule drivesrepparttar 132925 hobby further away from acceptance and relevance. Bonds is notrepparttar 132926 best player in baseball. He's actuallyrepparttar 132927 twelfth. Alex Sanchez ofrepparttar 132928 Detroit Tigers, a prominent starter on many fantasy teams last year with his 19 stolen bases, was cut fromrepparttar 132929 Tigers this spring. The list goes on, butrepparttar 132930 point is, fantasy baseball is a reflection of baseball, and derives its legitimacy (if it has any) from its place as an extension of a real-life activity. Fine, a traditional 5x5 player argues, "then why was 5x5 created with these stats to begin with?"

The answer is simple. Fantasy baseball didn't start withrepparttar 132931 computer age. People actually went through box scores to accumulaterepparttar 132932 data necessary to play fantasy sports. Imaginerepparttar 132933 effort taken after each and every game, scanning newspapers, adding hits, then dividing byrepparttar 132934 total at bats, notingrepparttar 132935 stolen bases for each and every player on your team. That would take a lot of work. It's obvious whyrepparttar 132936 traditional 5x5 stats were chosen. They were in factrepparttar 132937 stats given byrepparttar 132938 box scores!

Thanks to computers, we are no longer limited byrepparttar 132939 constraints of newspaper box scores and division on scratch paper. Yahoo! alone offers 54 total categories with which to customize your league. This gives yourepparttar 132940 power to organize your league in whatever way you believe players in real baseball are really valued.

The most popular version of this isrepparttar 132941 SABR ("saber") leagues. The popular categories are: runs, RBIs, OBP (on base percentage) and slugging percentage for hitting, and wins, saves, ERA, and WHIP for pitching. This doesn't even begin to touchrepparttar 132942 value of a team's defense, but since there is no objective or standard way to measure defense, that problem has not been effectively tackled yet. The home team's scorer gives out errors, while defensive range is difficult to pin down as a measurable statistic game to game. It may be some time before Torii Hunter's spectacular home run-saving catch is a part of fantasy baseball, but undoubtedlyrepparttar 132943 statisticians will come up with some method.

However you plan to do it meanwhile, if Bonds isn'trepparttar 132944 clear first pick in your draft, then your league is long onrepparttar 132945 fantasy, short onrepparttar 132946 baseball.
