NFBC Message Boards

Greg,



How many teams were below 800 IP in the satellite, auction and Ultimate events? I know I'm under 800 IP in two leagues, and there are 2 other teams in my satellites that are also under 800.

Bump Not sure if I'm explaining the problem well. All players in the league are either 0%, 33%, 67%, or 100% owned...clearly, something's not calculating correctly. Moreover, some players that are on the waiver wire are showing 100% owned, while some players that are owned are only showing 0% owned.

Hey Greg or Tom,



The Percent-Owned field in the LV 1250 Mix Auction league is incorrect. It looks like STATS is only picking up data from three random leagues, instead of using all 15-team mixed-league data.



Can you have STATS check this out? Thanks.

1) March 15 is two weeks before Opening Day, just like every NFBC event before it. 2) March 15 conflicts with far fewer local leagues and avoids overlap with the CDM deadline. 3) March 15 avoids the HUGE problem of setting lineups after the games have started. If there is a data entry mistake on Mar...

Slugger -

Log into your NFBC account, then go to Standings --> Overall. That will show the 2006 final numbers. Click on any of the leagues to see the data you're looking for.



You'll probably want to do this pretty soon, as STATS will be clearing out 2006 data any day now.

I don’t know who will win the AL Central, but I’d be willing to bet that Minnesota will NOT be competitive. Offensively, more than half of all Twin starters played over their heads in 2006. I doubt anyone is planning to pay for a repeat from Morneau (321-34-130), Cuddyer (24 HR, 109 RBI), Castillo (...

When I ran the numbers a few days ago, I was surprised by how much better the Red Sox look (on paper) than the Yankees. Offensively, I've got Boston as the best team in the majors for both OBP & SLG. While the Yankees are a close second in OBP, I've got them as only fifth in SLG. This could also be ...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: At least make it SB subtracted by Caught Stealing for the SB total. 31 SB 12 CS ------- = 19 SB Actually, net steals would overvalue SB specialists even more, since guys who steal 40+ have much higher success rates (typically 75-90%) than guys who steal 1-10 ba...

Don't beat yourself up too much over Giles. I took him in two of my three drafts, once at 8.05 and the other time at 8.08. I thought he was a low-risk guy good for 290-20-10 numbers. Oh, well. At least I got my other 8th round pick right when I selected...Brad Wilkerson. :confused: Maybe I should ge...

With the Cubs signing LH Cliff Floyd, how many at-bats do you think RH Matt Murton will get this year?

Originally posted by Vander: Will they guarantee the $25,000 payout this year even if they get fewer entrants?In short, yes. This is a clearly stated rule change both in the official rules as well as on the High Roller message board. Furthermore, if you check the “Anti-Gambling Bill” article on the ...

Hey Vander, Thanks for the reply, and congratulations on your league win last year. It may surprise you, but the payout ratios for High Roller and NFBC are actually very similar. Here are the numbers: NFBC overall prizes = $144K, or $400 per team NFBC league prizes = $204K, or $567 per team Entry fe...

Originally posted by Vander: Does anyone here know of a good salary cap league other than CDM? I really like the salary cap game, but it just doesn't pay to play cdm. Thanks in advance if anybody can help. I don't know of any others besides CDM. Out of curiosity, what do you mean when you say "it do...

Here's my alphabetical list of 34 players eligible at 3B worthy of Top 20 consideration. Feel free to add anyone else.

Originally posted by NoBallsNoBabies: Hey Eric - What is your opinion on picks 2-10? Do you feel that they're as wide open as I do? And Crawford may be a 6 or 7 so you could be right about that. I actually think 20/55 is where Crawford will most likely be but I was just looking at his high end when ...

Originally posted by NoBallsNoBabies: I took Crawford at 3. I feel that looking at his numbers he could reach 25 HR and 60 Sb's. Now his GB% may make it difficult to reach the 25 HR but it only leads to more SBO. I like the BA upside with him compared to what Soriano will likely deliver. I strongly ...

Speed is very interesting in this draft. Last year, Figgins was a late first-rounder and Pierre was an early second-rounder. These two guys stole 52 and 58 bases, respectively, and…they’ve fallen to the end of the third round in this draft? I was expecting to see these guys off the board about ten p...

Wow, you've already received your Forecaster?! Hmmm...I should be extra nice to my wife since mine will be coming soon, and I'll need some brownie points in reserve. My observation so far is that deeper leagues make luck more of a factor, since you really can't build contingencies for injuries, spec...

Originally posted by Liquidhippo: I imagine that Theo believes in the 75% rule for stolen bases. So for Lugo to get steal opps, he'll have to be successful over 75% of the time. My guess is that he can't succeed at that clip and he could hit an all time low this year in SB's. So I'm with Gekko on th...

What’s happening, Brent?



Yeah, I’m getting the feeling that most projection services – relying heavily on 3-year history – are going to overestimate Lugo’s SB totals. With that said, I am curious if anyone thinks Lugo really is a reasonable bet for 25 SB.

Here is my list of 34 shortstops worth considering (in alphabetical order). This should help us avoid accidental omissions. Aurilia E Aybar Barmes Bartlett Berroa Betancourt O Cabrera R Cedeno Crosby S Drew Eckstein A Everett Furcal Greene C Guillen B Hall Hardy A Hill Jeter F Lopez Lugo Peralta Pun...

Boston has earned a reputation as a low-SB Moneyball-style team. The numbers seem to justify this reputation: The Red Sox were last in the majors in SB last year and were in the bottom three in 2005. Team SB doesn’t tell the whole story, though, so I decided to do a little more digging. I compared t...

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: As I posted earlier, Soriano has not had a .280+ BA since 2003. His .277 last year was not bad, but .265 to .275, which is a generous range for him, doesn't look so good if his numbers drop to 30/30.Don't mean to nitpick, Wayne, but that BA range is anything but g...
