Bonus Points

So i'm just now finding out about bonus points... Can't say I agree with giving points away based on leading stat categories. Now I understand nothing can be done this season and that's fine. However, let me stat my case for 2013.

Bonus points? Really? The whole point is to try and accumulate as many stat points as you can. So we give out bonus points for doing what you're supposed to do? Should we take points away for being dead last in a category? I mean come on. It's just not accurate for record keeping either.

Look, my players accumulated stats the correlated into 74.5 points which is good enough for third place. No more and no less. Giving me a bonus point for leading a category is NOT a direct reflection of how well my team performed. They only performed well enough to earn 74.5 points. That's it! What's next? Extra points for having the actual MVP and CY Young winner on your roster (both of which I would have, by the way)?

In conclusion let me just say bonus points shmonus boinks. I want to earn the final standing and point score I deserve for next season. Whether it's second last just ahead of Shawn or third place once again. These Hunks don't run.

Sincerely

  1. Never been a big fan of it myself. In a 10 team league your reward for winning a category is the max 10pts. Don't see any reason why an additional point should given out.

    But the bonus points have been there since the beginning. A league vote approved it. And we all know that league votes are without flaw and always choose what's best for the league.
