In my Suoer I went 87 on Herrera and thought I was going aggressive. He went for 192 with a second bid of 178. [/QUOTE]You are only terrible if you think he is ...

With a gulp in my throat I write I agree with Rocket sauce and Hells Satans. I love Scully. I love how it seems like a conversation just between you and him. I also find it fascinating how everyone describes him as kind and very nice but no one even after all of these years knows him at all around D...

who is back first, mauer or josh hamilton? Fandango

I owned Matt Thornton all of last year and waited for him to get an opportunity all year while Jenks sucked.



This year I have Sergio Santos who has looked pretty darn good and am rooting against Thornton.



Come on Ozzie ole Chest needs Santos...

Originally posted by Guinness Stingers: I've never played FB in any form prior to this year. With FF not a definite and fanball not being part of this site anymore I signed up for an online ME on the 26th but was placed in a live draft via phone on the 19th. I wasn't comfortable w/ this having never...

Originally posted by Hells Satans:

That's nothing. Jarrod Dyson has 3 SBs in 1 plate appearance!!!! That puts him on pace for like 1600 steals. It's like having Jesus in one of your OF slots. Jesus on a stick and then this... Stay classy...

Originally posted by Sebadiah23: Myers got robbed of a win today. Stauffer not bad yesterday. Not so yucky. Mr. Shearer, if you read the boards, I'd love to chat about prospects. You really seem to know your stuff. Sebadiah23@aol.com Good luck man. Mr Shearer if you want to chat about how this JA wi...

Originally posted by whipsaw: What players do you find yourself owning across many/most of your teams, who you are relying on for a big year? My major targets that appear on multiple teams include: Rajai Davis Scott Baker Cliff Lee Jered Weaver K-Rod James Shields Joel Hanrahan Torii Hunter Adam Jon...

Sorry so but just to clarify if you paid for both by check then you get one player on each squad correct?

Originally posted by Gekko: quote:Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: I would change the runs to 105 and the avg to 305. Glad to hear you like him too. i got him on every one of my teams [/QUOTE]My guys for the next level this year are Hanson, Rasmus, Posey (maybe just more of the same for a year),...

Originally posted by Gekko: quote:Originally posted by Snord35: 6. Beckham MI - A lot of love for Beckham this year but I don't see top 10 round value yet. I see the 20/10 upside and he will do better than last year I still have him red flagged with his drop in AVG, BB Rate, and K Rate from 09. i be...

Originally posted by Glenneration X: quote:Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: The only draft I can really remember looking great on paper and following through the whole year was Glennerationx last year, with his start of Pujols and Lincecum. Even with that start, if not for the overperformance of late...

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: There's nothing wrong with compliments Kent. In fact, they feel pretty good to hear!! You should try giving some sometime. It will make you feel good!! :D Glenn, I told you that was a no-smoking Ultimate League. We'll get the usher to throw you out next time!! :D...

Originally posted by Glenneration X: Greg, AC was a blast as always. Honestly, I've had a great time at every Live Event I've done with your contests. The Live Events for me is much more than the excitement of drafting in person, though that always adds to the enjoyment. Much more enjoyable is the p...

Originally posted by Ricky Vaughn: Finally after many year of being on the fence I sacked up and decide to try out NFBC. Took part in a $125 top 3 league last week picking from the 2 hole this it what I came up. C Ryan Doumit C Ryan Hanigan 1B Paul Konerko 2B Martin Prado SS Hanley Ramirez 3B Jose B...

Greg, To me the bottom line is you got back to your roots and what your core customer desires this year. It was a terrific success. I get to catch up with people who now after 7 years have become friends some really good friends like Andy, Chris, Neal, Charlie and Dan. I get to talk baseball with fr...

Originally posted by MGBMARTY: Hey Wayne You will be fine this year Mark is a friend and a good guy. Weird how you keep getting tough leagues. Orlando might be in cards next year, if so will go there again and hook up wiyh you and Dave. Love Doughs comparisons, believe I am old school like you. Fina...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Thoughts about Las Vegas- First, a big shout out to Greg. I know, I know, he already gets so much appreciation from us, but as we were drafting, I saw him observing, and just had to go over and tell him how proud he should be of 'his baby'. Our facillatator was top no...

Originally posted by team z: I had a huge issue joining the NFBC again this year until a friend gave me some advice. He told not to approach the NFBC as if I was playing fantasy baseball but to approach it as gambling. No rules, no expectations of fare play and no crying. I'm not in the main event b...

NOW APPLYING THIS TO MY MAIN EVENT TEAM IN ALL CAPS BELOW Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: I leave the writing on here to bjoak, Dan, Shawn etc because they are a lot better at it than I am.

I leave the writing on here to bjoak, Dan, Shawn etc because they are a lot better at it than I am. I am going to take a stab though at a quick and easy guide to evaluate your draft. I would love it if people would humor me and apply it to their draft. Hopefully it helps a newbie or 2 along the way....
