Booo I'm the JHey fan. I need a good shortstop and some steals. Hit me up on here for a trade. Overall, I think the draft went well. I wouldn't have drafted Axford, Upton, or Mauer there, but it could have been worse.

Well, you could say the same thing about ERA...
And if you use less innings, then you get screwed in Ks and QS. Hits don't even have to be accounted for. It doesn't matter how many hits you give up if you don't give up runs in the process.

How does this differ from walks then?
The point of WHIP is that it combines them both. Just using one or the other makes no sense.

Walks are at least in the pitcher's control. Hits are 50/50, and can be affected by defense.
WHIP can be flawed, as explained here: http://baseballguys.com/2012/03/19/aba-the-new-whip/
EDIT: And speaking of hits, what about OBP + SLG instead of AVG + OPS?

Dude, we already did the draft. Not only is it impossible to adjust stat categories post-draft, it's also wrong given that people drafted under the established parameters.
It's nice that you appear to like more advanced statistics, but this is fantasy baseball. That's not how it works.

Why didn't you just put him at the top of your rankings?
