Great report. Thank Greg
You write well enough to cover fantasy baseball professionally....

While Jeff's suggestion of having one FAAB period is interesting, I still like the draft and be done with it format the best. If the average team has 10 dead spots they'd like to replenish, that 150 free agents being picked up at one time. Imagine how much time it will take to populate and/or chang...

Love your one change on Friday pitching option, Dan. Another strong vote for.

i was an early proponent of the individual clock. Tod has convinced me that the application is infeasible (imagine if four or five owners use up their time...nightmare ). if a six hour clock league was available, that would be my first choice. drafting most of my teams from some golf course in new z...

Hi Greg, I have a dozen DC's this year. At the start of the season, I could go to the 'set lineup' option, and link from that page to any of my teams. then that function was discontinued. i would prefer if i were able to link from the set lineup page to all of my teams. i am in the camp that would ...

Brandon League blew his first save of 2013 in the Dodgers' extra-innings loss to the Mets on Wednesday. League entered the ninth inning with a 3-2 lead, but a leadoff double by Mike Baxter was followed two batters later by David Wright's two-out single. Blown save notwithstanding, League is still a ...

In case Scott Kazmir had butterflies going into action tonight, the Astros have given up 13 runs early on to take a lot of the pressure off. Let's just hope the rest of the Tribe doesn't decide to take the rest of the night off defensively and cost him the win. I'm curious, does anyone out there in...

The ability to swap a pitcher on Friday if he lands on the DL midweek. I have 2 of them... :x We've tried that before and it just opens too many other happenings. We won't be swapping out pitchers on Friday's anytime soon in the NFBC. Sorry. Greg I understand that there were some manipulations of t...

I know there is usually a backlash and naysayers when thinking about changing an NFBC rule.... That said, I'll put this one out there for comment anyway... And I'll put this in capitol letters, THIS IS NOT FOR THIS YEAR, just so there's no misunderstanding... But with the proliferation of injuries ...

Something lost in all this is the stupidity of baseballs' unwritten rules. In the 1st inning on an 0-2 pitch Marquis threw a pitch up and in to Kemp. Scully mentioned this when the brawl broke out as possible retaliation for that pitch. This stupid you hit our guy or nearly do, so I hafta throw at ...

thanks for the feedback. hope your handicapping skills are strong

The Posh-Bogan Heros!!! are my final New Zealand team to complete drafting. Bogan is a new term I learned whilst visiting my wife's college friend in Auckland, as in; ' you are drinking a 750ml beer direct from the bottle? that's so bogan, mate.' One thing lead to another... I stumbled upon a pop so...

Team six in this series, The Whangarei Rurus. Whangarei is a popular resort destination in the Northlands, about thirty minutes north of Ruakaka. Ruru is the Maori word for owl.

great read. love your hitting. like greinke, papelbon and perkins. rolling the dice with the rest of your staff. gamble gamble. that's what faab is for

the fifth team I completed is called The Mangawhai Moas. The Moas drafted in the 5. Mangawhai is another small town on the east shore of the Northlands, about an hour from Auckland. Many Canadians and Americans winter here without incident. The local golf course is excellent. Moas of course are the ...

All, My buddy and I teamed up for a Draft Champion Team. We are working our way toward a trip to NFBC main event but we both got young kids so we're doing some online drafts for now. Anyway, would love some feedback on our draft. We drafted from the 10 spot. We tried to stay fairly balanced through...

Kaikoura Karearea Kaikoura is a small town on the east shore, north end of the south island. Maori translation; eat crayfish. We certainly did. Vivid memories of sitting beach side near sunset at a picnic table chowing on fresh grilled crayfish and drinking a recently purchased excellent bottle of p...

broxton to the tigers...for a super-sized bag of doritos

Bream Bay Oystercatchers Third team to complete, I actually like this team a lot. Bream Bay is a large waterway north east of Auckland, home to vast reserves of wildlife and waterfowl. The Oystercatcher is a very cool undersized shore bird with black feathers, orange colouring around the eyes, legs ...

team 3; with trout, pedroia, wright, felix (in the 4th ?!), greinke, and rosario. what are the chances they drafted dickey in the 7th...

Ruakaka Pukekos Ruakaka is a small town in the northlands, nzl, a few minutes from waipu. a two minute walk to the ocean beach, on the bream bay, we spent four weeks of our vacation here. Pukeko is a medium sized local bird, bright blue plumage, red beak and crown, spends a lot of time on the ground...

King of Queens wrote:Hamilton has to be a downward mover, too.

indeed. he was drafted lower than his dc adp at the main events last season as well.

last season was my first try drafting in the dc. i had four teams. the first two i drafted oblivious to the adp. the second two, i paid quite a bit of attention to draft position and value. the fourth team i drafted i was very happy with. my adp score was over +1,200. that team finished 12th in the ...
