The Oddest Stat From Your Fantasy Team

by faketeams on Jun 5, 2009 12:00 PM EDT in Baseball

What is the oddest stat from your fantasy team? In my NL-Only 4x4 keeper league, the leader amongst the players lined-up in my OF slots in HRs is Jordan Schafer with two. I had figured Lastings Milledge would have held that distinction no matter how badly the production from those slots.

How I was wrong! After Schafer, Michael Bourn, Willie Harris, Xavier Paul and Ross Gload have all contributed one HR. Amongst the zero HR-ers was Darin Erstad, Justin Maxwell, Cliff Floyd, Gerardo Parra (his lone HR came when I couldn't activate him) and the two favorites to soon lead my team, Brandon Moss and Austin Kearns.

If I didn't see it everyday, I wouldn't believe it.

In my AL-Only 4x4 keeper league, I have C.C. Sabathia, Cliff Lee, and Justin Masterson starting. Recently I added David Price and John Lackey. Yet I am last in Wins. Last night's effort by Lackey was typicall. He pitches a great game and leaves after seven innings with a 5-2 lead. The bullpen immeidately blows the win.

What kinds of statistical oddities are you experiencing in your fantasy leagues?

Oddities

We have a guy in our shallow mixed 12 teamer who is leading in HR by 25 (101, next closest is 76, big pack of people in 70’s)
This same owner has a team ERA of 2.96 despite taking his first pitcher in the 9th round. That pitcher was Ervin Santana who currently owns a 9.50 ERA. It’s not like he loaded up on relievers who’ve kept his ERA down. The only closer he drafted was Joel Hanrahan (6.66 ERA) and his team only has 6 saves and one current closer (Aardsma) on his roster. Weird stuff. He’s gotten lucky with his SP – Harang, Buerhle, Vazquez, Weaver, Jackson, Jurrejens, Joba.

Odd

I have the 3rd most innings pitched with 9 less starts then those ranked above me.

I have the least amount of wins and my pitchers are

Lincecum, Peavy, Cliff Lee, Billingsley, Pettite, and rotating 6th (Been Scherzer, Hernandez, Curto and now Porcello)

I have 24 wins out of 57 starts. (5 are from relivers)

Well

I’m leading the league in Wins and my best pitcher is Ted Lilly.

I’ve had Hamilton, Posada, Hafner and Flores on the DL, and Wieters in the minors all year and I’m pretty close to leading all the hitting cats.

Keeper

Yahoo has keeper options that are simplistic and are free. If you’re willing to pay, CBS has more extensive features.

On one of my teams

Broxton is the leader in wins, outpacing such luminaries as Peavy, Kershaw, and Cliff Lee.

On another team, in a league that counts losses, Johan Santana is the team leader with three. None of the other starters (Price, Slowey, Chamberlain, Happ) or relievers has more than one. Needless to say, I’m way ahead in that category.

Same league as Schafer

I am third in HRs with Adrian Gonzalez, Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. And in case, anyone thinks I have a whole bunch of 4-7 HR hitters, the next highest total on my team is Edgar Gonzalez’ 3.
