if you bench your players in fantasy baseball, does it count against your Batting Average?

I'm doing a yahoo fantasy default baseball league. My batting average is 350 and I basically have a win locked and dont want to hurt my average. So If I bench all my hitters will it count against me in any way?

No, everything on your bench is nullified. Both good and bad.

The only reason bench numbers may ever come up is in the case of a tie breaker in the playoffs.

it would keep you from HR’s, RBI’s, SB’s and Runs but you will win batting avg

if here on the bench nothing counts good or bad. hr,hits rbi r nothing. if your team is 3 for 7 with 3 runs and 2 rbi then you bench all hitters? you get nothing while your league gets more hits,runs hr rbi, sb, you will get zero and you will not win.

You would keep your .350 avg but lose out of the other 4 categories. if you have a huge lead in those then go for it!

No but it’s not worth it.. I mean seriously.. You’re going to give up R, HR, SB, and RBI’s just for BA? Not worth it at all.

Your BA wont be hurt, but your HR, R, RBI and Steals will hurt.

You should probably keep all your players in because BA is just one of 10 stats. Make sure you win as many as possible per week.
