Re: Who designed the Braves SunTrust Stadium?
I had the same reaction others did that it was too soon for a new stadium, some folks explained since it was adopted for baseball after the Olympics that it was not up to snuff. I say "screw that noise Jack", just dont buy it! Whats worse is Arz and Tex crying for new ones; the parks are too new and...

Re: Worst Rule Change Ever
Lenny Melnick had some easy time-savers that wouldn't harm things 1) Elimiate the actual toss of 4 calls for an IBB - Sure that takes out the Kelly leak chance but we get one what every 5 years 2) Home run; no need to run all the bases I saw Joe Ferguson step all the way across home plate to dunk a...

Re: Worst Rule Change Ever
Terrible, plus I mean how many games that DONT go to extra innings "take a long time" right?
Easier to find other non damaging tweaks to move things along quicker. This is like turning baseball into some crazy videogame or alternative backyard version, why not ghost runners?

Re: Draft Champions
Thanks, great thoughts/reading - every year the ratio of H/P is a game in itself In one league that's been around since 81-82 they do draft only but have a second one later, granted sometimes its hard to find living breathing players but it is fun to a) bring in some new blood b) Just to have anothe...

Re: Draft Champions
Just saw this now, what are the tips of drafting correctly to overcome a big wave of injuries? Every league I've done I have seen many run into it or come damn close - not ALL don't want to exaggerate

Re: New Draft Spot Proposal!
Not a ton of insight for your issue but knock on wood its always worked close enough to what I want, Would say spend some more time really looking at each spot and the exact order? When I say that I mean I'm sure you DO put thought into it and all just trying to throw anything can think of. I like w...

Re: Batting Average vs. OBP: Let's Discuss For The NFBC
Sidebar, but somewhat similar
In a long standing AL only league that's been going since 81? 82? (I haven't been in it that long I am the youngest, 40) It is 5 x 4 missing WHIP because its "a made up stat" per commish
THEY ARE ALL MADE UP

Re: "Punting" Saves this Year
Saves + Holds combined category, lets go! Two of he 3 leagues I run switched to it, and everyone loves it makes more use of the RP pool, depending on league size makes the SP free agent pool a little better if you have an injury etc. The 3rd league vote is split for changing this year with "absentee...

Re: Closers
I'm a big pusher of S+H, and it would be tremendous here and have thrown it out before Got it into all the leagues I run and trying for the ones I don't run. Everyone has and makes use of more relievers. In leagues with a waiver wire it actually allows the SP pool to be a little better since there a...

Draft Champions
Morning, Because often all teams can get so wiped out by injuries and sometimes not even be able to field a lineup; has there ever been any thought to go to more rounds - 60- 75 rounds? Same roster positions but just seems would be better for everyone to just have a few more bodies. Though its a was...

Re: Signup List For First NFBC $150 Draft Champions
Question - is it not doable/prohibitive to do DC mocks on the software?
I think you'd get a lot of turnout from us hardcore folks, sure some may not want to give strategy away and all but just a thought. I am sure a lot wouldn't even be drafting their ideal team but testing strategies. Thx

What they do though is have another draft to add more players around end May. Any thought to ever adding this to DC? Know theres some hurdles or cons Different dra...

Awaiting mine, look forward to it. For me gaining anything out of it insight wise is a bonus, I would enjoy it even just for the source material over the long no baseball winter. Congrats on the publication.
