I said to myself when I made the pick I hope that Glenn does not want him. I had a good feeling looking at you having two great starters that you would have loved to get a guy like Mantle but I hoped I was wrong. Sorry man, I really do hate when we take each others players. Although I did have you t...

We may be held here for the night at this point. Either way we have had a very decent pace to this draft so far.

I will just post this pick quickly. The only guy I actually own a autograph ball of.



1956 Mickey Mantle OF



.353 AVG / 52 HR / 132 R / 130 RBI / 10 Steals

Next pick is one of the better years since roto baseball started. I think Coors Field pre humidor helped him but hey who really cares.



Ellis Burks 1996 OF



.344 AVG / 40 HR / 142 R / 128 RBI / 32 Steals

Are you going to post the category totals or just the standings. I do not care either way just curious. Thanks man.

good pace so far today we are already into round 2, nice job all

I took this guy in the last draft as well, and Glenn I was not taking McClain so you did not steal my pick although I assume you and I will steal each others picks many times. In the last draft I took him in a different year but in this draft with not nearly as many high batting average years with t...

Guys I will not be reachable until 6:45 pm as I am going into a meeting. I will be here another 5 minutes but if I am not up by then I will not be around until then, sorry.

Originally posted by Glenneration X: Are you kidding me? Next to Ryan again? He'd better not be stealing all my players like the first draft. You can not make this up. I am sure we will be taking each others players again, except this time we will be taking each others players but be at the top of t...

We just need two more teams. You can check out the other threads that we have been talking in for rules an so on. Just post here or in the other thread if you want in.



It is only $125 and as someone who did it last time it is fun.

I am also for the higher overall prize over getting third place prize money but that is just me, I really could not tell you what is more enticing to attract new players. For me it would be the bigger overall prize. I know the point is really not of value now but the reason I first choose the NFBC o...

My honest opinion is that there is not a need for 3RR however with that said I have no problem doing the contest with 3RR as I think that whether we have it or do not have it, it will not decide the draft. I still think the winners will be from random and spread out draft slots, based on who has the...

If people already deleted the 1940 stats then lets just start in the 1941 it make it easy.

If anyone is interested in participating in the next all time draft just post in this thread or the other one already created.

I think once we get are 15 we should vote on all the rules. Vote on the 3RR, the pitching requirements, start year, payouts and the dumping category rules and see what we get. I mean if it is like 13 to 2 on most of them we will just do that is we are split on some things or close we will have to co...

Well if Gamblor is out we are down to 11 and still need 4 more owners to participate. I think once we get four more people we should just vote on the rule changes and go with the majority in terms of things like 3RR and SP to RP and inning rules. Also I think we should start in 1940, I did not reall...

The one suggestion I would have is that if we do this starting with a more recent year like 1920 or 1941 that we do not do third round reversal. If we started with the dead ball era again I would like to see it but if not I do not see the need for it. The one other thing is that we have a 5 starter ...

Alright guys I am sorry if I missed anyone but I count that we are at 12: Ken Gill Glenn Lowry Don Mathis Gekko Like What 17 Gamblor Rock It Sauce Lawrence Liebman Texas Connection Gyoztes (Sam Botnick) The Fool On The Hill Suburban Strugglers (Me Ryan Kelly) If there is anyone else update my list, ...

Guys I am 100 percent in as I said before, let me know when we are starting it up and the rules and how we will do payment and so on. I am down to do it with any rules or years, I just found the last one to be fun, something to do to kill time before real drafts start. So count me in.

I was very surprised that Nolan Ryan did not go but my other biggest surprises where: Don Mattingly who had two season to choose from including one with a .352 31 117 and 113 and another with a .324 35 107 and 145. Jim Edmonds was the other. I figured that with a decent amount of people not going cr...

Todd that was the same exact issue I had. I just thought that it would be more like 7 to 2, hell I ended up being 5 to 4 and I did not think anyone would do that early on.

I would say the one pick that I knew right after I made it was a mistake was taking Ron Guidry in the 4th round over Luis Tiant. At the time I was still just looking more at wins and it was clear that Tiant had a slightly better ERA and Ks and had a far better WHIP. Guidry only had one plus and that...

First of all thank you Todd for doing a amazing job with this draft, from the constant updates to the finish tonight. You earned your free entry. Congrats to first and second place. Nice job Steve. Early on I had said that I thought 3RR reversal was a must but I was way off. I think that this draft ...

Glenn just to show once again we where thinking the same guys all draft. I tried to take Tiant in the blind round 5 and was told he was already taken. So that would have been another one where we took each others player.
