Category Inclusion to Custom Draft Guide

[RJM713]

Any chance of adding "Saves minus Blown Saves" to the choice of custom categories? Thanks.

[RobR]

I don't think we project blown saves.

[NICK@HQ]

I do, but that's proprietary until after the HQ Labratory league has its auction.

[RJM713]

Why Not?

I don't think we project blown saves.

Rob,

"Losses" and "Caught Stealing" are negative categories that are projected based on various prior season data and are included in the Custom Draft Guide criteria to generate "Net" numbers. What is so difficult about applying the same principles to Blown Saves?

Surely my League isn't the only one that has this customized category factored in. I'd appreciate if this could be looked at and eventually included.

[RobR]

On this issue, I only know the what, not the why. Perhaps someone else knows the why.

Rich,

I think what RobR@HQ is saying is that your request is not just an enhancement to the custom valuator tool but is also a request to have those categories included in BBHQ projections, and that's a bigger issue within BBHQ. That's the way I read his response anyway.

Someone from HQ - How About the WHY?

Michael,

I appreciate your attempting to augment what Rob said, but in either case, and thinking it through, you're right, it would have to become a projected category in THE FORECASTER and following projections, then why can't it be so?

"Losses" are projected for closers, aren't they? In the same vein, then why can't their failed attempts at "Saves" (their main purpose for being inserted into a game when their club is leading) be looked into?

Since This Is Being Buried .........

.......... and certainly worthy of a response, I'll forward it to The Man at an appropriate, future date.
