Hi Dan,
Please refer to the Round 1 post heading that explains this is for traditional fantasy baseball points where K’s are -1. Ryan Howard unfortunately takes a beating in comparison to David Ortiz for example. Ortiz had 109 Ks in 149 games while Howard had 199 in 144 games. Those are relative -109s and -199s on the players point totals. This is the same reason why Prince Fielder goes ahead of Howard. Fielder has extremely similar numbers to Howard except for Ks, where Fielder had 121 in 158 games in ‘08. For the reason of strikeouts alone, Fielder and Ortiz are much smarter picks in this league format. In Roto where strikeouts don’t matter, Howard and Fielder are much more valuable while Halladay and Carmona are less valuable by only being 3 category contributors for Wins, ERA, & WHIP.
Enjoy!
