ALTERNATIVE: Pitching Tiers in Points Leagues

Each year at BaseballHQ.com, we identify tiers of talent in basic points leagues. Points leagues appeal to the fantasy football player looking for a baseball league that works in a similar manner. They need to feel a “score” as they watch a baseball game.  Without having to worry about categories and rankings, points leagues give the owner immediate gratification. For our purposes, we will assume a basic scoring format for pitchers of fifteen points for a win, seven for a save, and a point for each strikeout.

While more complicated formats exist, this basic format should provide a great starting point for your valuation. Be careful, though, as too many categories detract from the ease of playability that makes points leagues so...
