George, Congrats to Michael. Maybe I'll get to meet the fam at Arlington this spring?

This is my second attempt in the last two years at drafting in this thing you all call baseball. Does this team have a chance to beat my 11th place finish last year and/or is this a model for screwing up the 1st pick?

This will be my second attempt at this baseball stuff. Last year I had no idea what I was doing and no plan at all (this was quite obvious to all in the league). This year I am following the same path to excellence. I will be all ready to draft with my Fantasy Sports Mag at my side! I am Cub fan so ...

Bring her and a few of her friends to the game. Most parks give you the chance to see YOUR name ON the jumbotron with a note, usually for a donation to the teams charity. You get to see the game and your daughter gets quality time with pops AND gets to see HER name, with a birthday wish for all to s...

It was actually interesting to hear some talk in the Chicago area that Zambrano would not want to go to an American League team if and when the Cubs blow his deal because he wants to get his at-bats.

Upon further review and reflection, 1) I keep forgetting that this is supposed to be fun. 2) This actually why I decided to quit baseball around 2000. Because it was too time consuming. This is especially true as warm weather hits around here and there are numerous other things worthy of that daily ...

Thanks for the responses. I get it now and will drop it.

I understand the time committment by the players necessary to do this but you would not be forced to change your lineups. You could set them at the beginning of the week after you make your roster moves and be done with it. No harm no foul. I also understand the risk involved with chasing numbers an...

BigHurt posted this topic as I was receiving Gregs response to this very observation/question from me. I am new to the NFBC and did not play this year but after looking through all of the rules, this one struck me as odd. Hurt, there have been lengthy discussions in the past on this topic. What it b...

It would be nice to be able to select numerous players, then rank them and add dollar amounts in one step for each player you are dropping.



The current way is archaic.

Another Draft fact - First ever DC league - 45 rounds - 5 hrs 15 min Let me guess, one 2 minute break?

Note: Even though it shows $1000 on your page if you go to the "League Info" tab then "Owners List" it shows the correct dollar amounts for each team.

How many are in now?

Fantasy Curling - Brilliant! I am all in.

I will be playing next year and it seems that the closer to the start of season would be better for the game, even if it is some sort of holiday. For those that travel and play, is it a deal breaker if the drafts were to be held on a Thursday and Friday? That would allow everyone to get home in time...

As someone who is considering this for next year, it would be a plus if non p(l)aying observers could get in and see the leagues too.



I understand that if I want to see them, like in poker, I should ante up but it would be helpful to get a feel for the game to see it live during the season.

KJ,



Is right on when he states that a confirmation of some sort would help this process and protect for any future issues that might arise.



A confirmation email for KDS, FA bids and lineup changes could serve as a formal record for both parties.

I was just a visitor to the event and Vegas because I wanted to meet a few of the hardcore players and put some more faces with names along with a nice little vacation but ended up coming away committed to ending my 6 year layoff from baseball. Greg and his entire team are amazing. They truly make i...

Tiebreaker: Timestamp of submission for BBDS if not done live. If two teams have the same bid for the first slot (or any slot) and team; Team #1) Set their preferences on June 19th @ 630am cst and Team #2) Set their preferences on August 28th @ 914pm pst Team #1 would get their first choice and team...

Lance,



There are 2 4pm drafts.

I got in to Vegas yesterday and had no idea this was going to happen. At around 330 am I woke to the explosions and had no idea what the heck was going on. There were numerous blasts and concussions. I ended up calling the front desk just to make sure, if you know what I mean. The sportsbook at the ...

It is 85 and spectacular here in Vegas.



If you are traveling here call your airline, call in sick and get here early.



This is supposed to continue thru the weekend.

Oh yeah, you guys weren't kidding when you said there were no breaks! I thought you were friggin joking. I kept waiting for that break to come so I could try and regroup but no....... I guess I should have either mocked several times for the practice or gone with my instinct and have a friend draft ...

From the league grapevine, I heard that Rob Benetti fell asleep somewhere around Round 22 Round 22? I was out of contention in this league after round 6. This was probably my first and last baseball draft as I now remember why I stopped playing sometime around 1999. Here is a team that has a shot a...
