Ty Cobb should probably be on the team. John Rocker would have company when sent to diversity training. I would also replace Roberto Alomar with Jeff Kent. Alomar's spitting was an extremely egregious act, but Kent was more likely the more "difficult" teammate day to day. It's more fuel for Barry as...

Nice job replacing "Bad New Bears".



I prefer "The Sandlot" if there were to be a kids entry.

I guess, I don't understand why you would WANT to post your team when there are 30+ leagues that you will be directly competing against yet to draft.

Originally posted by Crazy Like a Fox: do you really think the odds are with him? What are the odds he has a similar season to Delino? 2 in 100? This is probably a horrible analogy. You buy 2 scratchers at 12-1 to win cash. You win cash with the first scratcher, do you expect the odds to change with...

I've read through the "historical data" of stolen bases by age. What I have not seen yet is a discussion of the experience level of the "historical comps" versus Elvis Andrus. Andrus has 4 seasons of minor league experience as a result of signing at the age of 16 out of Venezuela. It is likely that ...

Under the "NFBC Resources" tab in the drop down banner across the top of this page, select "2008 NFBC Standings". If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can sort the 2008 standings by any category. You can see what the Overall Champion had in each category. Direct answer to what those totals w...

KJ, those don't look like Flamingo hosts. I will guess the Rio as they change outfits every year. But still, NICE. Luxor Cathouse!

Also, since this thread applies to position eligibility:



Travis Ishikawa is showing up as 3B eligible under the Pos. Eligibility link. Should be 1B only

The answer to Mr. Gordon Gekko’s question is: Mike Carp, 1B, SEA Opportunity Exhibit A: Players who started a game at first base for the Mariners in 2008 (starts): Richie Sexson (72) Miguel Cairo (37) Bryan LaHair (33) Jose Lopez (12) Jose Vidro (7) Greg Norton (1) Exhibit B: Players currently in Ma...

I'm a HUGE, "Crazy" fan.



But Crazy, doesn't it help that you're in a 14-team league? It's bad enough that you have an owner that doesn't bid on free agents, but HE DOESN'T EVEN SET A LINEUP.

The game between Baltimore and Toronto was an exhibition game. It was "The Hall of Fame" game in Cooperstown. They played with about 40 man rosters (several minor leaguers interspersed with the major leaguers). The stats won't count. Edit: I HAVE TO LEARN TO TYPE FASTER! LOL! There were three respon...

It does list 3B next to Mark Reynolds.



I believe Greg/Tom early in the season stated that the position next to the players name would be the position they've played most this season, not necessarily the position they'd be eligible for.

Why would he NOT be eligible for pickup?



If he's on a major league roster and not owned by any other team, he'd be eligible to be picked up.



Why would you consider him not eligible?

Hard Spun gave me a good run, but NOTHING down the stretch for Street Sense!

I've got......Hard Spun.....though I can't believe they ran him so hard in his workouts this week.

13. Setting Starting Lineups: NFBC owners are allowed to change their starting lineups five minutes before the first game each Monday and that lineup remains intact for the rest of the week. However, owners are also allowed to remove a player (or players) who is officially on the DL from their start...

It should be 4 ER unless there was a scoring change after the game.



Placido Polanco scored in the 1st inning after reaching base on a Miguel Tejeda error (unearned).

Maybe, it'd be even better if there could be "in-game" managerial decisions. That should, by logic, be more strategic than daily. You can decide if you want to pull your pitcher out in the third inning if he doesn't seem to have his stuff that day. If Wily Mo Pena gets put in to pinch hit, you can d...

Another similarity to golf..........the worse it's going; the more often I'm flagging down the girl in the beer cart.
