Suggestion - ADP Draft Board

For those of us that are more graphically inclined and textually challenged how about constructing a draft board (those multi-colored grids representing picks made in a draft) made up from the current ADPs (i.e. not a real draft, but a representation of the "average draft").

I just bought 3 baseball magazines, as I do every year. I subscribed to the same three baseball sites, as I do every year. I tend to read two other sites almost daily and listen to two podcasts each week (at least I do this at the gym). I go the the Arizona Fall League each year, BHQ First Pitch eac...

Manager Tendencies

Does anyone know of a site that describes current MLB managers tendencies (coaching styles), especially as it pertains to fantasy baseball? E.G. which managers like to steal, which like platooning, playing veterans over rookies, etc.

Thanks

I read the first couple of quotes in the link above before it was interrupted with a new page showing a number of apps, one of which had to be selected to continue!

FanDuel Plea to California Players

Just got this in an email. Interesting to note they use the broad term fantasy sports, no differentiation between daily and season-long.

Re: Thank you to Greg and the NFBC Family

Take a look at a Ted talk by Martine Rothblatt. He has a daughter with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (not sure if that's the same thing), but by his own heroic efforts (aided by a small fortune from inventing Sirius radio) he was able to find a treatment for his daughter's disease.
