I plan on starting threads about how to find the ideal setup for your fantasy league...
the first thread is for category of Wins or QS(rotisserie and H2H categories)
As some may know, Quality starts is one of my favorite pitching stats... With that said, in fantasy baseball i think Wins is a superior stat...
First of we are only talking about standard 5X5, once other categories are added that changes the whole thing, so for this thread we are only talking about leagues with 5 pitching categories and they are ERA, WHIP, S, K, W or QS
QS is clearly the better stat in real life baseball, but the biggest problem with it in fantasy is that it excludes all relievers... with wins, it may be a valid strategy to start middle or long relievers if their ratio stats are good... Especially in daily roster changes, where you can just keep relievers in all week, and then stream starters as they actually start...
My other problem with QS compared to Ws in fantasy is that QS is a better indicator on who is the better pitcher... I like to keep my categories seperate and equal... If we have to many categories that all have similar lists then what is the point of even doing categories??
And in H2H categories, the problem with QS is that releivers can not get them at all, and in a weekly scoring format that gives too much of an advantage to Starting pitching, and too much of an advantage to multi start pitchers...
