Granted, a lot of fantasy baseball wouldn't be quite as fun without the array of counting statistics that are a part of the game, but let's face it--there are a lot of bullshit statistics made up simply to make guys happy with their roles on their teams...namely:
- Saves: So you pitched one inning without giving up 3 runs...congratulations champ.
- Holds: Middle relievers need the love too, but this one's just dumb, especially if you can get a hold AND take a loss all at the same time.
- Wins: Yes, even the venerable win is a total bullshit statistic. How is it fair that a guy can pitch 9 innings and get a no-decision but the win goes to the guy who throws four pitches and gets one out?
- Pancake Blocks: Yes, switching gears to football, this one is asinine. You make 15 million dollars! So you don't have a blocking statistic, big deal.
