NFBC Message Boards

Very surprising nobody has a better site. Back to allstar. A lot mmore good then bad. How hard is it to be able to create a function where you can look at how your team and fas have done over a week, two weeks, three, etc. For all the shortcomings with the drafts, the site this used last year was ve...

Also very interested in this topic. Searched the message boards for website hoping this exact discussion would be up. Only wish there were more of a consensus on what is good. Have used allstar for two years in 13 man mixed 25 starter, 5 bench w/ some complicated keeper rules, and weekly waivers rev...

I dropped and posted why on the message board. Was an obvious move given where I stood in saves, and how closers could no longer help me. Can't really understand logic in pulling a player out of the fa pool if the drop made sense and was surprised to see no post re it, but people running this seem t...

I followed through on my promise and dropped a still healthy, still closing guy on pace for 40 saves. No trades make you do strange things, so bye bye Joe Table. Not suggesting this is what the Rogers drop was, but it is strange when your choices are hold or drop either if a guy is performing in a c...

Looking at the string, I think the dilution of the faab pool was more an afterthought argument. I think the real point was they didn't think Rogers was going to be worth much in the second half. They may or may not be right. I think Rogers should be allowed to be dropped, but can't fault the guys ru...

I don't personally think there are between 135 (min pitchers rostered assuming no bench spots used) and 180 (assuming 3 bench spots for pitchers per team) bets for better second half performance than Rogers -- and by that logic I think he shouldn't have been cut -- but taking the history of second h...

Sucks re some struggling with it, I had on two computers just in case, but obviously redrafts not possible option.

Sorry, not sure the above was sufficiently inflammatory, so here goes: while I know a number of very bright and seemingly very good people who love fantasy football, and I myself have won an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii for a week for the probowl playing and continue to play (and win a lot), it ...

I love the comment about not seeing "one top fantasy player" signed up. Don't check the message boards that often, but things like this make it worth it. Good stuff. Personally, I'd only do it if a few of the top 20 ranked fantasy players (I assume Walla Walla keeps the list) were in. Greg and Tom, ...

Somewhat, but I doubt I'll be running to the box scores to see how Desi Relaford may have carried my team the night before. Meat Pullers really came charging up the standings, eh?

For the record, I described my team as a mash squad before I learned of Barmes trip to shop rite last night. F#!@.

Burke is a nice play. You spent a lot of money, but he might have been jerked around by Houston just enough to really **** him off. Although it should mean nothing, psychically you kind of think Burke may produce even better being stuck in a corner outfield slot in order to try and justify his being...

Forgot to mention: That pitching staff you have going Quahog looks like they can keep it rolling. Nice value plays Vzaquez, Ryan, et al.

Seemed like a decent group of guys at the draft, nothing to change it based on chatter to date. It is a long season. A lot of strong teams yet to make their runs. Early analysis is that waivers have been tough, people are getting in early on the value plays. I missed Turnbow a week before he was nam...

Rather than having the team named "Mark Prior's Elbow," I should have named it "Flying high into Period 8 with KRod, Bedard, Miles, Koskie, and Prior leading the way." OK, Koskie got hurt at end of Period 7, still a painful last few days. Quahogs, if you're listening out there, go run with this thin...

Bjoak is right. As much as the name "Esteban Loaiza" causes extreme consternation every time I, as an owner, click his name into the starting line-up, as good as he's been, he is a no-brainer start in a 15 team mixed league with two non-Coors starts, even if they are a little tough. Here's hoping he...

Point is to get the highest value (i.e., most production in ten categories from 23 players) period. Draft or auction irrelevant, just vehicle to get the players (really their stats). Once you start talking re strategy being different, if it speaks to how players should be valued and a claim that it ...

It seems to me that Puffins' analysis extracts value from four auction leagues (throw out top and bottom, use average of middle two) and compares it against each individual pick. A similar tool could be used by taking 20 drafts, throw out top 5 and bottom 5, average middle ten draft slots, and compa...

If I were a betting man, I'd love to take anyone who thought there was zero correlation here on on a bet that 11 or more (10 as push) of the first place teams come from the top 150 on this analysis. If you assume the auction leagues knew what they were doing at some level, the idea that this has zer...

I retract what I said re everyone understanding the basis for the numbers and the conversation.

Todd, you're right re much and your math is impressive, but there is something to be said for the underlying math that goes into this and the predictive value it will likely end up having. If you assume most of the people who ponied up over a grand to enter this knew at some level what they were doi...

Wow. Impressive analysis. My draft is listed at 8th and I'm presently 9th. I'll probably end up 142nd KoQ. Like the bottom 1000 picks link much. Great bc both top and bottom 1000 picks both searchable. Only Mark Prior from my team listed in bottom 1000 picks, apropos as I've named my team "Mark Prio...

Hey Baltics sorry but I have to set the story straight. I grabbed Cantu and THEN the laptop dude mentioned that Alomar retired. Team 8-the guy you stole Broussard and Hafner from (bastards) Yes Quahogs, you are correct. I had the laptop, and said it after you made the pick. Baltics was either accide...
