Sacrafice Hits?

Yahoo does have Sacrifice Hits (aka "sacrifice bunts") as a stat for custom leagues.  Any chance of getting that added?

We do have those stats, but it's not something we currently project.  It would only show up in the rankings and not projections if we enabled it. Would this be useful?

I've been using those in Ultimate Challengers.  I don't know if anyone else uses them.

I can't imagine many do. Last season, league-wide, there was one sac hit for every 125 plate appearances

The reason I use them is that it's an "orginal statistic", i.e., one of the basic statistical building blocks that have been around since time immemorial:  Hits and/or singles, walks, strikeouts, doubles, triples, home runs, sacrifice hits (bunts), sacrifice flies, stolen bases, batting average, runs scored, runs batted in for batters; wins, losses, saves, strikeouts, ERA, the newly designed "WHIP" (which might be the exception), shutouts, complete games, no-hitters, perfect games, balks, and batters hit by a pitch for pitchers.  It is from these basic budiling blocks that I form the UCL 11-by-11 system.
