NFBC Message Boards

Sample size alert with the following tidbit:

Scooter Gennett had 4 homers in a game earlier this year.
Justin Upton had 4 homers at this time last year, total, for the whole season, on June 16, 2016.
Justin Upton finished with 31 homers.

Kent It is kinda cool to see the changes in NFBC drafting since the beginning. Seldom were pitchers selected in the first few rounds. If so, they were special. Since then, pitchers have infiltrated early rounds more and more as years go by. 'Waiting on pitchers' was a mantra for experts, seldom see...

The lefty-lefty stuff is a cinch- I think it gets more interesting when it's like Miguel Sano vs. 3 tough-ish RHs verses Seth Smith vs. 3 RH, if one had the luxury of such a bench call.

3B at hot corner charging in for bunt.

Incredibly inconsequential, but excellent catch. If they fix it by October 1st it will remove any last day confusion.

You know what they say about assuming ( it will make an ass out Yu and his drafters)

Rotoboy, I liked your point- you just needed a Todd Zola to properly name it and articulate it. My attempt- say in round 25 you have an opportunity to take a player who has the most overall value left in the draft, but doesn't fit the team that you have drafted so far, and maybe never will. However,...

True- I mentioned the 93.3% for the average player because he seemed really down about the last four years and probably shouldn't be, since even one win in that span would have made him almost four times better than average, statistically speaking. I also think the team drafted is decent and was onl...

(readers warning: I am giving a challenging response because it would be a waste of time not to) I don't want to get into specifics about players because there are many people still drafting later, but what is shouting at me most- if I toss aside a list of specific issues for a moment, is that you s...

I don't know if I totally buy this, but I found a confirmation-biased anecdote regarding my example "home run enhanced" player Freddie Galvis ( http://www.phillyvoice.com/freddy-galvis-adjustment-s-led-his-monthlong-hr-derby/ that for all we know could be PR to mask steroid use, but is otherwise som...

FYI- that is not my quote above. Is there evidence for strikeouts being up? I've been avoiding mentioning new stats like exit velocity because of the lack of history. Doubles are down because the ball isn't hitting the fence- it's going over. We would need to see a 12% rise in K rate or swing veloci...

My bad, I was looking at team totals across three years- their very, very poor HR performance on the road must be noise.

This is no easy answer and every statistical analysis, in the end, is a large collection of anecdotes. Did the St. Louis Cardinals homerun totals rise from 105 in '14, to 137 in '15, to a whopping 207+ in 2016, due just to the baseball change, or roster/emphasis changes as well. Regarding Weaver let...

My questions for 2017 are more general, because they apply to so many players who shared the same narrative. 1. Will the additional jump in HRs for hitters that neutered the comparitive value of power hitters and fly ball pitchers (against the rest of the field) continue to wreak havoc on those play...

6. Bama Rockwell played for the Boston Braves in 1946. While playing against the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, Rockwell drove a ball that hit a landmark above the scoreboard. A large Bulova Watch with the local time on the face. The blow from the ball crushed the face of the clock, shattered and tumblin...

Congrats Greg and Tom on a great ruling.

Or automate leveraging a very current "perceived value" ranking just to alert a human(s) to red flags.

....And should be another reason why alias' are not allowed. If your job, ex-wife, social status, local google'r, et al don't want to see your name playing high stakes fantasy baseball, then I suggest you find a different hobby. https://storage.googleapis.com/vidsums/d89d62ff-106b-4b2c-b17d-be94a59...

Great job- very, very helpful now- looks great.

Like Nick Ahmed stacks up to 1921 Babe Ruth, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

I've been irritated lately by Safari on the iphone not saving my login - with the increase in pixels on phones, I only use the mobile app for a quick glance, and I think that's all it's meant to be. The full website is much more useful. Anyway, just for the heck of it, I tried using the Chrome app o...

Hey- I really liked this post, as you share a common sentiment/mindset with many people regarding early results, and I do have advice for you actually- do nothing . Not literally nothing, but treat the bulk of your players as you saw them when you drafted them (Barring injury or significant role cha...

Can't let this get hijacked into another exhausting Mets post.


Neil Walker, Eickhoff, Velasquez, Arrieta, Altuve, Syndergaard, Rasmus, Diaz, Hazelbaker, Braun again, Cano, R. Hill, Villar, Herrera.

Quite a shitstorm approaches.
