K's (min AB's?)

[Tigers GM]

I've found a loophole in the K stat, not sure if we've already discussed but here goes:

I'm facing a team this week who is not fielding a full roster, maybe 6 hitters on the team. They will win K's this week, however because they only have 2 pitchers (1 starter) he will not win ERA because of the minimum starts requirement. Are we able to have a minimum AB's requirement on the K's category?

I don't think so. Nothing I can do about it, just an ESPN thing.

Maybe we could talk about change the stats up a bit for next year, but if you win K's by punting everything else it doesn't make much sense.
