I multiply each stat category by each pitcher's innings. Then add up those totals and divide that by total innings (i.e., 1400). It doesn't make sense to include all your pitchers if you drafted 1575 innings. I reduce the worst's pitchers innings total such that my overall total gets to 1400. IN some cases, my worst pitcher drops out of the equation altogether.
For hitters, I do something similar, but instead of using their exact PAs, I use estimated playing time percentages (making sure each position adds up to 100%). So if I have a batter with 750 PA, he gets 100% weight. If I have another batter with 700 PA, he also gets 100% weight. I generally use 700 PA as the cutoff for playing 162 games. The exception is catchers.... I usually use 650 PA, so if my best catcher has 450 PA and my worst catcher has 300 PA, Catcher1 gets 69% (=450/650) and Catcher2 gets 31% (=200/650). After I multiply all the %'s by stat category, I can add up those totals and divide by 8.
Occasionally, I will add in like 10% for a stud pinch hitter (who won't ever start), but then divide the total by 8.1.
