These drafts are great Greg! A few things jump out at me. Furcal and Vmart are getting a lot of love this year! Also the end of the 1st to mid 3rd round is way up in the air yet! I feel VMart will have a good year but he has to have a .280 20 85 line or better to be taken in the top 90. We know he c...

"I find it odd that no one has mentioned the the main factor that makes it inordinately difficult to win the main event. The level of competition in each league, which you have absolutely no control over, is a huge factor. You can be a top notch fantasy player, however, in a tough league filled with...

Red Sox sgin two! John Smoltz and Rocco Baldelli Smoltz will add his name for a spot in the rotation that already has Beckett, Lester, Dice K, Wakefield, Penny, Buchholz, Bowden, Masterson and Tazawa (Sept call up at best). I love Buchholz but I'm starting to think Boston will be moving him to Texas...

J.J. Hardy, I'll take the heat for that pick no problem. But I would be a fool if I told everyone why. After Jeter was taken to start the 5th I had a feeling all the good SS's would be gone by our next pick. Stan and I talked about taking a HR guy like Pena or Dunn but thought the same on Dunn think...

I was thinking the same thing Greg was 17 games at 1B and 12 at 3B would make him a CI. I don't think stats can make a player just CI so give him 1B because 17 of those 29 games at CI were at first. Also he did not play DH like many other guys that fell short. Greg does a great job with the NFBC and...

Didn't see Chris Getz for the white sox on that list. Have not looked at his minor league stuff but will he be at 2B for the draft?

My search is over for finding a co-manager. I will be teaming up with long time NFBC member Stan Kaye! We both had a great conversation today about teaming up and we are both looking forward to a fun 2009 season! Just goes to show how supportive the NFBC family really is. We will both be able to dra...

Hello and happy New Year fellow NFBC members. Well I have gone over my budget for 2009 and unfortunately I have to cut back on some expenses. I still might have enough room to enter the NFBC by myself but would rather split the cost with another fellow NFBC member for the 2009 season. I’m hoping to ...

Hope KRod does not hit the DL, my draft plan of locking up 2 solid closers is killing me right now. First Putz and now Krod! Next C.J Wilson will lose his job and I'll be left with no closers. And to think I thought I had 80-100 saves in the bag HA!

Liriano will be back in the majors next week. Slowey having arm problems. They need someone to step in.

Mike, I look forward to drafting by you. Just hope we don't go into the draft with the same plan, I've had that happen before it makes for a long day. I hate the 15th pick because you have to wait and pick the leftovers. Really wanted a pick around 5-10 but who knows I might get lucky and get some b...

Ouch 15th, my last pick in my rankings. Looks like I have some work to do!

I was OK with the draft, my first one was done a little faster than the one last night. I think what sucked was that we had 3 owners in a row who took thier max time each round. We had 60 Picks that took 75 seconds or more and 9 picks took the full 90 seconds. That's over 75 minutes for two rounds o...

Saito, Jenks, and Nathan picks were all in my league. Made for a hard draft because hitters that I was looking to get in rounds 9&10 were gone by round 8. I got Krod in round six and was the third closer taken. Nathan at R8P1 was just the 6th closer taken. Jenks in R10P3 was the 9th closer taken. Th...

I have a few more.

How in the world can fantasy fishing give out better prize pools than Football or Baseball! One Million to win! What can I say I'm hooked!

Pujols will not be worth a top 5 pick! My reasons; 1. No protection, Duncan, Rolen, Ankiel? He has a better chance at setting the BB record than having 100 runs and 100 RBI's. See this hurting his HR total too. 150+ walks will take a 50-100 more ab's away from him this year. 2. RBI's will not reach ...

Money doesn’t come easy when you’re getting out of college. I started back in 2004 at age 23 in the NFBC. I was in the same boat, didn't have the money to spend but had too because I couldn't pass up going against the best. Hope to have you on board for years to come it's worth it! See you in Chicag...

Sounds good. I should be getting into Chicago around 6-7 PM



Very happy picking from the 5 spot. Had three satellite leagues where I picked 12, 13, and 12. Only one team I'm really happy with out of the three. But now I'll have to see how I do from the other side of the draft.
