NFBC Message Boards

I'm glad to hear that people are finding ways to use the Friday DL rule in their personal lives. I tried using the rule with my girlfriends, but it really just hasn't worked too well for me :rolleyes: Anyway, after Greg's post, all I can say is that I support eliminating the rule. I think that is th...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: I could be swayed to vote for pitchers being streamed. I'm not adamently against it. For the sake of these proposed rule changes though, I think there are alot of folks that are alot more opposed to streaming than I. That's why I want someone to explain how it will ha...

KJ, Show me the numbers. Not posts but the numbers. Look at the poll Walla.

TIME TO DRINK!!!



Ariba, Yee Haw! The bell has rung and I can crack open a Corona... Thanks

I don't think that Greg is going to lose any numbers under any of these potential rules. The numbers are purely a factor of how he markets the NFBC. Remember there are a lot of fantasy baseball players. Lance, check out your May issue of Fantasy Sports from FW Media on page 8. That smoke blower's @$...

Under the current state of things though, no moves other than the Monday lineup transaction is the only idea that doesn't create loopholes and arguments. Seriously guys, any rule that has restrictions that disallows some of the players to use it is a bad rule. You either have to open Pandora's box c...

Okay, but now over here, let's talk freely. I rank the ideas like this: 1. Lance's 2. Dan's 3. KJ's Lance's idea is a step back but it does away with all of these arguments and it plays to the traditionalists that are the core of the NFBC format. Dan, your idea is very good. I just don't like exclud...

Ditto, that's why I posted my comment. There is too much talk about the results in this thread that people can read and then take the survey. I was just trying to point out to anyone reading that there is nothing that is conclusively leaning one way or the other or the other or the other. Shhhhhhhhh...

Originally posted by KJ Duke: quote:Originally posted by ToddZ: I stated elsewhere I would prefer to do away with the DL rule and that is how I voted. However, it is interesting to note if choices were posed a little differently, and in complete fairness, this is a SURVEY and not a VOTE, but if the ...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: And what would you do with the ptiching staffs? Under your suggestion, remove the restriction on pitchers. I can't do any significant streaming with the size of the reserve roster and still maintain players that I would need to hold onto in case of injury to my hitter...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Pitchers would have no dl rule. The pitchers in the lineup on Monday are your pitchers for the week. No loophole. It has to be this way to avoid streaming of pitchers, which alot of folks would be against. This was on the verge of being a good alternative until you di...

Originally posted by Dyv: I really don't see how managing a baseball team (i.e. roster changes) on more than one day per week is such a horrible thing. Are there really that many people out there who couldn't rotate a roster 2-3 times a week or manage a DL spot daily? If you exist, would you speak u...

Changing owner names --- no

Changing team names --- yes

I haven't liked this rule since it was implemented. I say do away with it. I voted against it, but after whoever it was that originally pointed this loophole out I have made sure to use it to my advantage as much as possible. I think I did it a few times last year. And I know I was one of the ones t...

CIN Owings +205 CHC Harden -235 O/U 8 This little NL Central matchup should be worthy of watching. Harden has been very, very good pitching in Wrigley. With that hefty price tag, somebody knows that Harden will be getting his game on tonight. Owings hasn't had any luck against the Cubs, hauling arou...

10. Asdrubal - Injury suffered by Kaz Matsui last season

Whew, back home finally... I knew that Dead tour was going to get in the way of things, but what the heck! You only live once, and doin' that rag is the only thing better than doing a live auction draft :D So let's get back to business: CLE Pavano +225 NYY Burnett -260 O/U 10- As Jack McKeon once to...

I hate to distract the conversation from New York, but let's think about the fourth city option. There are a growing number of southerners in the mix. In Chicago this year, I saw several people from the KY, TN, and AL areas. Why isn't Atlanta being considered as a fourth option? Not knocking Orlando...

Originally posted by rucrew2: I don't like betting the O/U, but when I do I always take the under because your always winning til it's over :D LOL, that is the exact opposite of my rationale! There is nothing worse than betting the under and then the teams score 600 runs in the first inning, and for...
