either that or 15 separate blind bids.

Which leads to this hugely important question...for spot #15 do you get it for free or have to bid $1???

I didn't scroll back too far, so I apologize if this was already answered... For the bidding for draft spot idea, I could see having an auction for the #1 spot...then a new auction for the #2 spot...then new bidding for #3, etc....but if you used blind bids, wouldn't you also have to have separate b...

I'm sure they would have suspended him for life if they thought it could have been upheld on appeal.

Does this mean we should move A Rod down on our 2014 cheat sheets?

That's why we're having this at midnight. The fire will be visible for miles and miles. I'm bringing marshmallows, and Greg and Tom said they'll teach us all how to make smores. It's gonna be a blast. On a side note, for anyone who got the book, or is going to get it, I just learned there's an error...

Wow, Walla Walla....thanks for the help, buddy. Glad you still love me. The book is now in book stores and the Kindle is available. Nook and iTunes should be any day now. If anyone wants to see more reviews, below are some links. Mike Gianella of Baseball Prospectus and Shandler of BBHQ require a su...

yeah, I guess you can say that. although that's putting it awfully simply. If I just wanted to say "draft value" I would have written a short article, not a 95,000 word book. And getting some roster balance is also important. Obviously, in a league like NFBC where no trading is allowed, getting bala...

Doughboys -- put very simply, if based on stat projections and an intelligent value formula a player has a dollar value of $20, and you buy him at an auction for $18, that's a good deal...if you buy him for $22, that's a bad deal. And many people will spend $22 for reasons such as "position scarcity...

What I mean by "my projections and values aren't better..." is for example, let's say everyone thinks Goldschmidt will hit 35 HR's but I think he'll hit 40...and I buy Goldschmidt...and I was right and everyone else was wrong because he hits 40. If I could do that with a bunch of players, that would...

Thanks Bronx, King of Queens, 76erFan, Poopytooth... Walla Walla -- not sure where you got that idea...did you misunderstand when it says "doubt I’ve ever won a league primarily because I had a better set of player dollar values than everyone else..."? I say repeatedly it's all about value. Getting ...

Amazon released the book early.

If you get 1-2 day shipping from Amazon, you can have it by Christmas.

Or, for just $25,000, I'll dress up like Santa and deliver it to your door (with Greg and Tom dressed like Reindeer).

Hi Sack, Thanks. I'll be in NYC for NFBC 1st weekend and Vegas 2nd weekend. I haven't been to Vegas for the NFBC or NFFC in many, many years. I'll be happy to sign a book, but you'll have a hard time reading my chicken scratch. I love ADP lists, they're very helpful. I mention them in the Snake Draf...

I want to let everyone know that I've written a book, called "Winning Fantasy Baseball -- Secret Strategies of a Nine-Time National Champion." It is now available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and will be released on January 7th. It will be in book stores everywhere in the US and Can...

You can always buy it on amazon, probably save yourself some money, too.

Thanks Chad. Those other 5 are Tout Wars titles, so probably not what you were thinking...a little different than NFBC, WCOFF, etc.

I've written a book, called "Winning Fantasy Baseball, Secret Strategies of a seven-time National Champion", which will be released on January 7th. It will be available in book stores, and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. The book covers all formats, i.e. mo...

I'm doing some research, and would like a copy of prices for every 2012 NFBC mixed auction. If you can send me one, any format, by e-mail or snail mail, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Who's gonna sing "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch (the break after round 20)?

I was in both auction leagues this year and last. If I remember correctly, last year we did 10:00 and 4:00. The problem was that there was almost no time in between auctions. When I saw that this year was 5:00, that seemed like a good idea (but I didn't know we had a 10:00 curfew). If you can't get ...

Gene,



Best wishes. Get well soon.

I don't think I've gotten the #1 pick in baseball before. Cool.





Albert Puj....oh, I guess I should wait a week to say that name.

I'd do it between the main event and DP, if that's an option, but not at 11:00. I need my beauty sleep.

Yeah, depth charts aren't usually very accurate, especially when it comes to players who may platoon; and pitchers who are competing for the rotation spots.



Having said that, the best I've seen is Sandlot Shrink. It's a pay website for most content, but the depth charts are free.

Rockitsauce -- hopefully they'll have all the info up Monday.



Scottie -- Yes, they're doing all their roto games (I'm pretty sure he said that, anyway)

Quahogs -- Actually, right now I'm concerned about having bought Brian Roberts in an auction a week ago. Not looking too smart right now.

"We're adjusting the salaries, getting customer history restored, and everything will be ready for sign-ups on Monday. Diamond Challenge® Roto (with its $50,000 Grand Prize) and Points ($25,000 Grand Prize) have increased prizes and lowered costs. Play both and get a Free Super Challenge entry, ($10...
