Allright folks, some light reading for those who want to learn a little bit about baseball stats.
We will start with the Batting Average, on a players stats it is noted as B/A or Avg.
Step 1:
Add up your hits.
Step 2:
Add up your at bats. At bats include every time you hit safely or hit into an out, including a strike out. Getting on base by an error or fielder's choice is considered an out. A Sacrifice, walk or hit by pitch is not counted as a hit or an out.
Step 3:
Divide your hits by your at bats.
Step 4:
Round off the number to the third decimal place. For example, .33051 is .331.
For instance if you had an at bat=AB of 100
And a hits=H of 10
100/10=.100

I am going for the Astros because the Rangers are evil.
That is way too complicated.
Hey BadBoy, when do we start pickin' officially?
That is way too complicated.
How about this, if a guy is hitting .250 and above then he is an average player.
.300 and up, he's a keeper.
.300 and up, with 100+ RBI's (runs batted in) and 20+ Home Runs, you need to be washing his feet for him
(Darkcgi...That was a joke about the foot washing)
We still have a week, we have to get registered, develop the league and get y'alls teams put in place, then draft.
And here I was working up the courage to ask you how to calculate moon orbits..How about this, if a guy is hitting .250 and above then he is an average player.

I dont know much about baseball, but sounds fun, count me in.
i'm so in, dude. Thanks Badboy.
Thank y'all, it's going to be a lot of fun.
And we will all be playing against each other, Donnie and I will admin the league, so nobody will have to worry about those pesky "outsiders" lol

Pretty much too late now. The regular season starts in a few more days, and that's not enough time to pull together an entire fantasy league.
So chalk this one up to another thing the unexpected move screwed up:mad

I'm in the contest to "beat the streak" on mlb.com Gotta pick someone to have a hit each day... good times!But I already lost the first day... stupid Papi
Why is this still sticky? Though I guess it's more popular than the gun thread, never really seen that as a major sport anywhere myself.
