Re: MLB Season Postponed?

The MLB season is not starting March 26th - there is no doubt they will get there in the hours or days to come. Does the season start May 1st? June 1st? Entirely unknowable today. How many games is the season? Also unknowable. Given the amount of money involved in the NFBC, I would strongly suggest ...

Re: The NFBC Live Events Tentative Schedule For 2019

MLife has quite good rates up right now for the Vegas dates ($100 at the Park MGM, $125/night at Vdara, $200/night at the Bellagio as a few examples). If you book now and see a cheaper rate over the winter, call the hotel and in my experience they will always drop your rate to the lowest available r...

Re: Claim Your 2017 NFBC Prizes NOW!!

New site looks great. I had problems claiming the prize because of the new requirement for a W8 form for Canadians. Tom responded to my emails within minutes and the new accounting department responded to him almost instantly. A really positive sign going forward.

Re: Clayton Kershaw = Billy Hamilton (So far...)

Just thinking on this more... I don't get the hate for Kershaw/Hill. That's maybe 320 innings of amazing pitching. If you draft SPs in two of your first three picks, your offense is very likely dead in the water. In fact, if you draft three with your first ten, same. You need to build some equity o...

Re: Let's Do A Q&A With Greg and Tom

How is the NFBC handling Christian Bethancourt position eligibility? He's currently eligible at catcher; however reports indicate he may get more time as a RP. It's also not out of the realm of possibility that he accumulates some saves this year given the Padres bullpen. Thanks! He's a catcher now...

Re: 3rd Round Reversal

I know that it has been reported that in regards to draft order each place has won as much as any other place. Two questions: does that hold true for overall money (i.e. place money); and how does that jive with disproportionate dollar values between the draft orders? You may argue that in-season m...
