I just think this whole idea of manually keeping track of stats is silly. If the millions of people playing fantasy baseball in various leagues thought that 162 max games for six pitchers was the way to go then it would be an option. We should have stuck with the max innings pitched. It makes more sense. But, seeing as how I'm probably screwed anyway this year, I'll go ahead and shut up about it.
Max innings pitched makes NO more sense. In real life, you have unpredictable extra innings. And also in real life, you have a predictable max of 162 (rarely, 163) games in a season.
In real life, you'd have a roster of the same SP's all year long, on the same team, baring injury/performance replacements, etc. But they're all on the same team, so you're getting 162 starts regardless. In fantasy, your pitchers aren't on the same team - so obviously you need a little extra leeway. That's what the 6th SP spot is for.
I'm not sure how you're not understanding this.
And to clarify, again, there is no "manual" keeping track of stats. I'm just -- come the last month of the season -- making sure no one goes beyond the (in real life) 162 starts for the season. Yahoo should have that built in, but sadly they don't for some reason. I requested it. But until then, there's no better way -- IMO -- to keep track of SP's.
This was discussed before the draft, by the way....
