I wonder how accurate the Starting % numbers for players are as reported by stats.



Based on the fact that there are 22 leagues, each league that starts a player is worth about 4.5%.



So, lets look at some interesting numbers as reported by the Set Roster function:

Name Owned Starting

Iguchi, Tadahito 2b 100.0% 91.7% -guess a lot of people have start 2nd baseman laying around



Burnitz, Jeromy OF 95.8% 87.5% -ok so I am sure that Jeromy will slow down and it is reasonable to have not started him, but to not be OWNED?



On the other hand:



Orvella, Chad MR TB 100.0% 8.3% - I guess some people are using the Minor League stats (or maybe just don't have any better pitchers)



I am sure there are many others like this!

Spy - last year Grady Sizemore was OWNED in 95% of the leagues the entire season ... I'm not sure who was in that league, but that's inexplicable.

It's based on 24 leagues with the two ULT leagues added.

That would explain why the %s are a bit off, but doesn't answer the questions on who is doing these crazy things
