if you get some time would you be interested in discussing your choices? I'll try to post mine when I get more time too, hopefully sometime today.

Here's my ratings for 1st basemen

I should prolly get on that. We're getting up to fantasy draft time.

C: Nick Punto
1B: Nick Punto
2B: Nick Punto
3B: Nick Punto
SS: Nick Punto
RF: Nick Punto
CF: Nick Punto
LF: Nick Punto
DH: Nick Punto.

As a Tigers fan, I just thank God that the Twins are only allowed to play him at one position at a time.

Whoa. I'm pretty sure it's more like this :

C: Nick Punto
1B: Nick Punto
2B: Nick Punto
3B: Nick Punto
SS: Nick Punto
LF: Nick Punto
CF: Scott Podsednick
RF: Nick Punto
DH: Yuniesky Betancourt

anyone know of a place that allows you to make your own scoring rules?

I was able to customize the whole scoring system in Yahoo's fantasy football setup, so I'd imagine they allow the same for baseball.

For a points league, you can customize the point values for the stats that Yahoo has available.

Here's my ratings for 2nd basemen.

Just curious, why are you listing those stats when these are (presumably) fantasy rankings?

Is there a way to look at their system? I didn't find anything but "the season is over" type stuff.

Until the fantasy season starts, I don't think so. The system for points based leagues is simple though. You pick what stats (of those they have available) you want to use, and then assign your own point values to each stat. Team with the most points wins.

Thanks. Yeah, what stats are available is the important part and how many of them you can use. It would be easy to assign LW values. I wonder if they allow negative weights.

I guess the other question is would anyone be interested?

All of the standard counting stats are available and more includign a bunch of useless ones (Grand Slams, basic fielding stats, Perfect Games). And yes you can make a stat have a negative value.
