NFBC Message Boards

Love it! Great job Dan!

Originally posted by CC's Desperados: This is a complete joke. There were at least 6 teams that could have bid higher than $157. The team that dropped Byrd has a long history of playing in the NFBC. He is a very good player. By looking at his team, he has 6 good outfielders in his lineup. You may ar...

I participated in several rounds of a mock draft and here are MY thoughts on the site. The following items I did not like listed in order of what I think is most important to me. 1. There is no sound when another team picks so I have to keep looking up when I am crossing out drafted players and look...

As long as Fandango is not doing anything against the rules, he has a right to manage his team as he wishes, he paid his entry fee like all the other owners did.

Tommy John surgery and a pitcher that will not listen to his pitching coach but wants to do it his way will do that to you.

When God made Wisconsin On the sixth day God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said,"Today, I am going to create a land called Wisconsin . It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty, a land of countless glaciers, pure lakes each one full of fish. It shall have tall majestic pines, peacefully ...

I agree that the boards are much slower and they have frozen my IE too. I don't think I care for the width either, they used to be wider. I think the boards would be easier to look at if the first menu page had every other topic highlighted or a different color rather then having every other column ...

Where is Matt Antonelli eligible?

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: I agree, it seems a lot of teams and players are "Riccharding" it and give glowing reports when there really is no news or just flat out lie. Why? Who does it benefit? A nasty trend. Who benefits? The team that spreads the misinformation so they can make other deals w...

Sadly no, just a couple of satellites.

Thanks for the support DUB, you are right on and you are correct about Insiderbaseball.com too. I think Bchoke just likes to see himself type. I should of just let him get himself in deeper and take his money but that would be like taking candy from a baby and I take pity on those that that keep put...

Really? Were you over at the MLB site looking at all the 'Eye' stats. Dude, that is a Shandler invented name for a stat that only appears in his book (and website). You think? How much money do you have to back that statement up with?

Sometimes, when I want to hear Shandler's opinions about things, I just read Shandler. Shandler? I think not.

Rodriguez, Alex #1 consensus selection. Unlikely to duplicate '07, Power (8.0 HR%) & RBI (23) rate was off charts. Blake, Casey Both HR% and RBI% dropped steadily in '07, Expected decline for 34 YO Chavez, Eric Bounce back expected as Batting average was underrated due to unlucky Singles % Wright, D...

I think some folks here have a short memory and don't remember the drafts they participated in this past Monday.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your comments, particularly to someone that has not signed up to play as yet. I hope that things work out and I can at least join a satellite league. Good luck everyone.

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: you are putting a lot of faith in YOUNG SP. usually the hype is better than the actual production for young'ns. A very good observation, a man after my own heart! The problem was that I wanted to hold off on starting pitching but still get an ACE but things did not...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: I think you did just fine except round one- why Tex who I like that early- at pick 10 a Crawford, Soriano, Howard, or Miggy Cabrera makes a lot more sense to me. Cabrera went at #8. I took Tex over Howard because I think they will put up similar numbers but Tex w...

Am I good enough to play in the NFBC? Here is my mock draft that I just completed. I picked #10 in a 15 team league. Mock draft central predicted a 6th place finish. 1. Texiera - 1B 2. Beltran - OF 3. Figgins - 3B 4. Papelbon - CL 5. Wells - OF 6. Tejada - SS 7. F. Hernandez - SP 8. D. Young - OF 9....

Now let me see, how many of you jumped in the fracas and piled on? But only Chest and Sheep had the guts to apologize? Step and be men about this boys! You guys are like lemming, one person has an issue and the rest of you jump in like hyena's. Ah, the smell of blood is irresistible I guess. [ Augus...

Come on boys, play nice. You think this system is so great? Then spread the money bid on the draft spots equally amongst the guys that don't want to bid on draft spots. The guys that want to buy a draft spot can and the guys that want to save their money for FAAB get a few extra bucks as compensatio...
