NFBC Message Boards

Sorry to be the fly in the ointment, but I think there's a bunch of different ways to make it so all minor leaguers were available in the free agent pool without it slowing down the web. For example, there could be a drop down menu that only looks at MLB players, or AAA players, or AA players. And t...

For next year, I hope NFBC considers having all major and minor league players available in the pool. It would add to the challenge of roster management strategy, and would eliminate a lot of complaints.

I thought Minor was called up on Saturday...

Lots of time between drafts... It's nice to unwind, re-charge the PC batteries, review what you may have done wrong.

Hey Dyv -- Long time.... Bummed I didn't get to see you LV. Saw Clark though, so that was cool! Anyway, here's my roster / thinking... LV2 - Pick 11, same league as Captain Hook, John Dean, and superstar Lopi Asch just for starters. 1. Miguel Cabrera / Ryan Braun left at #10, so I'm hoping for Cabre...

I agree with your decision Greg. Beyond being a burden to decide who makes the list and who doesn't, knowing there's no bailout provision should be a strategic consideration when setting your lineup. You have to think twice about putting in an injured player the last week. As an example, Yuni Betanc...

I understand. ...hope it doesn't cost me thousands!

What's the difference between "general soreness" and "back soreness" - the detail referred to pain specifically in his forearm.



I don't disagree with you in principle -- just that Oswalt's in the same boat as Maholm

Greg, I have Coco Crisp, Yuniesky Betancourt, and Roy Oswalt on my active roster. I've got no case with Crisp. He only has an ear infection. There's a reasonable chance he might get in a game over the weekend. Perhaps I've got a better case with Yuniesky Betancourt. He's got a sprained elbow and can...

Are there players on the list who would not have been placed on a 15-day DL if the same injury had occurred mid-season? I hope a "two week injury" criteria is being applied. If there's even talk of someone being used as a pinch hitter or pinch runner, that doesn't sound like they're the equivalent o...

On Griffey -- I heard they're going to evaluate him over the weekend. They want to get him to 600 just in case he decides to retire.

Last year (2006) Billy Butler had 83 AB as a left fielder, 376 AB as a right fielder, and 18 AB as a DH. (per minorleaguesplits.com) Rotoworld also shows him as an OF last year. Hasn't been a 3B since 2004. Would be NICE if Greg would help me out here before I finish dead last in this thing. :confus...

Let me re-phrase my question....



GREG or TOM,



Why is outfielder Billy Butler listed as a 3B? I'm mired in 869th place and need something to hope for!

Why is Billy Butler listed as a 3B on my team? He's only played OF....



Thanks

Looks like they're still there!

There are a bunch of players who have already been optioned to the minors. Why are they still in my main event free agent pool. Will I be able to bid on them tomorrow, April Fools Day?!

SluggoJD: I don't think you made any mistakes early, which is probably more important than making "great" picks. Sizemore has only scratched the surface, and Thome adds a lot of power for a fifth round pick. Victor Martinez playing some 1B may give him more AB that almost every other catcher, and he...

Marty, you've got a real solid team, especially with Thome added to it! An abundance of power, and a solid starting pitching staff... You're counting a lot on Chris Duffy, who may or may not be Pittsburgh's version of Nook Logan... Then again he might have 50+ steals... You're also gambling with Gag...

Okay Here's my team -- picked 13th: 1B Mark Teixeira 2B Ray Durham SS Jason Bartlett 3B Ryan Zimmerman COR Conor Jackson MID Troy Tulowitzki OF Matt Holliday OF Taveras (Col) OF Nick Markakis OF Coco Crisp OF David Dellucci CA AJ Pierzinski CA Josh Bard UT BJ Upton SP Roy Oswalt SP Dan Haren SP Erik...

In Jason Bay, Chone Figgins, and Randy Johnson you have very good 1-2-3 round players. You have nice additional power hitting in Richie Sexson, Eric Chavez, and Jay Gibbons. Randy Winn went nuts in the second half last year, but might not repeat at that level. Still he's a nice player to have. Edwin...

What's up with the "this week's stats" database?



I look for how my team has done in week 10, to set my roster, but no Week 10 stats are available. I look for potential free agents, and I want to see what they've done since last Sunday. Again, not available.

Just noticed on the "waiver release" history of my league that it shows I released him today (Saturday).... Didn't know I could do that!?

One of my players appears to have disappeared from my roster! Granted, he's not a very good one, and I've made some moves to drop him -- but when I went to add additional conditional drops, he no longer appears as an option to drop. And when I checked my roster for next week, sure enough he's not li...

....doesn't show performance from week 7 right now, only weeks 1 - 6 and ytd....



Given that my teams blows harder than Anna Nicole Smith on a job interview, it would be nice to see the latest week of stats....



Thanks!

This is something I don't understand, esp as it was done by the team deep in last place, is in first place in saves, but not by a heck of a lot. Should commish take a second look? Granted the team picked up OF Ryan Langerhans after his big game, but they had players like Nick Swisher, Casey Kotchman...
