Looking at the stats that PK has set up, it's the ONLY "negative" category for the hitters. I say we take it out. It could also lead to unfair advantages as Yahoo's assignation of position can be a bit frivolous at times when it comes to multi-position players. If I can start an OFer or DH in SS all year, I would have a clear (and ridiculous) advantage in that category over someone who starts a true SS.
can pitchers not make errors? i think not, the errors count can be a joint category.
granted they don't make nearly as many as outfielders but i think it's a category that's to important to miss from a fantasy game.

1. Errors are dumb.
2. Since we are not paying for our transactions, a move limit seems reasonable but I would prefer a weekly move limit rather than a total move limit to avoid having GMs dumping their entire rosters on the second last day of the year to get extra starts and ABs.
i concur on both counts.

Originally posted by trev33Well, SS was a bad example, but you do only need three starts at a position (either this year or last year) to be eligible to play that spot all year. Most DHs are eligible to play 1B, 3B or OF since that's where they get stuck during interleague play. So, you'll have the advantage there. I still think we should remove them though.

Originally posted by runninfiendlol, that was me doing the complaining...was meant to be funny but guess it didn't come across that way.
i like making a ton of moves but the playoffs got stoopid last year with the all the grabbing of pitchers every day. someone even complained that i was stealing their players off waivers while i was only playing for third place.
the only other way to get around besides a move limit is to go to weekly lineup settings.
Make the move limit 100...it's a good number and leaves us with space to make 3 or 4 moves per week if necessary.
Originally posted by PocketKingsya, the reality i found last year was that i didn't care about how many errors a guy would make because there were so many other offensive stats that I was willilng to take a loss in the error category if it got me 5 or 6 wins in the other categories.
Errors out? I'm thinking about it. Anything else on the list that wasn't chosen that may be a good category to add?
Errors were the irrelevant category i thought last year.
Originally posted by uzless100 is the highest yahoo will allow. Which should make it acceptable for everyone. 100 is plenty, you were the only one who hit 100 moves last year 😛 so I don't know why anyone else would complain.

Originally posted by PocketKingsi thought 70 was enough but it seems everyone wants the errors to be removed so i think you should do that.
