Tough talk from a bunch of people who routinely lose to a *hog farmer.

*no offense to hog farmers intended.

A win, a strikeout or two, a save, or whatever at the end of the season is sometimes the difference between finishing higher in the standings and in the $ or not. Wow, who would of thought a few meager stats could make such a difference! That should read "at any point of the season" not just the en...

What makes taking Albert with the first pick a little easier to stomach? Taking Carlos Ruiz 18th.

This is called answering a question.
Thanks for you input though. Your counter argument is only surpassed by your hard facts.

if a pitcher hasn't thrown a pitch monday - thursday, allow him to be switched out on friday. can't get any double starts out of it and it clearly benefits owners with unfortunate situations What if that no-throwing pitcher is a closer? Lets say you have two closers on your team (A and B). Pitcher ...

Actually it's all very scary when you think of how much we depend on computers and the programers keeping track of standings and category totals. I wonder just how off they are and we can't even notice. Even scarier is the fact that this is simple math in a sports hobby. God bless the programers at ...

Here's that name again. Such fuss over a marginal relief pitcher. I don't understand.

If he's such an outlier, why didn't you or other owners in your league bid more for his services over the next 5 months? It seems that all owners in that league sized up his value and came to the conclusion that he was worth 35% of their FAAB and no more. We've certainly seen bigger bids than that....

Another 0fer for Albert last night. Not even a walk. Could be going under the Mendoza line tonight.

He is one of 30 guys getting saves. He might as well of cut Rivera, Kimbrel or Papelbon. Tell that to the folks (me :cry: ) who spent $400 on Santiago ! Comparing this guy who reminds me of a right handed Mitchy Poo to established closers like Mo, Pap, and even Kimbrel is ludicrous. At the time you...

He's just trying to make Jim Joyce feel better about the worst call in history.

Maybe that's why he was the Greek God of Walks. He was just trying to avoid having to run with effort.

Hanson had a big hit with mmmbop?

It's a shame the first thing that comes to mind is how often he's injured. Imagine his number with another 300 games played.

Henry Rodriquez was dropped in my main event league this week. It will be the only main event in which he is available. I guess I am surprised by the move. Surprised? Surprised like John Bobbitt!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorena_Bobbitt Of course this thread centers on FAAB value for some reas...

I'm feeling the Pujols pain also. Especially since I had the first pick and somehow talked myself out of Kemp. Even after owning Kemp last year. Even more over, I hate drafting players who just changed leagues. It was that stupid hot streak he had just before spring training ended that got me on his...

left game with apparent knee injury after awkward slide Hows this one look today? From an ESPN league.

The Colon/Balfour stats never showed from yesterday.... Thanks Dan. The stats from that Oakland/Baltimore game are being run now. That will be fixed real soon. As far as the doubleheader issue, I've seen that with other sites as well (happens on ESPN, for example) Thanks again. Nothing like compari...

I think you have to take chances to win any league let alone the overall's in the NFBC. Picking a safe potential team seems to lead to middle of the pack type finishes. The problem is the longer people play here the more they find that out. It quickly leads to players shooting up in drafts simply be...

Brother! Lawrie is now up in the 2nd round. You know I remember when I drafted a rookie SS who just was traded to the Marlins. He won the SS job that same spring and I drafted him with my LAST round pick. And I was still nervous about HanRam keeping his job all year. Now I have to pick virtually the...

Everyone knows rules going in

That does not make the rule right or sensible. I know it's a long shot but a lot of these leagues are decided by very small margins. I'm grabbing that win this week and I'll be one up on everyone who drafted last week.

I'm an idiot. I was trying to change my weekend lineup, figuring the first week was locked. Thanks for the help. Don't let them beat you down. You are right. It has nothing to do with lineups. It has to do with when people draft. Colon was a late round chance at best. Now he's a W and 6 K's in the ...
