NFBC Message Boards

Almost simultaneously, two of the more outrageous calls you will ever see. How can an umpire take a perfect game away from a guy on that play? About a minute before Jim Joyce's blown call, Angel Hernandez found a way to get his mug extended TV time when he called Sean Rodriguez out going from 2nd to...

This was posted on MLB.com yesterday:



The Yankees made a roster move before today's game, placing Xavier Nady on the disabled list and recalling Dave Robertson from Triple-A.



There can be no excuse that STATS did not get this on a feed from MLB.

Since the guy the Yankees called up to replace Nady on the roster pitched this afternoon, it is not a delayed anouncement.

I wrote a Pros and Cons article about my experience in the phone draft that just posted today on CREATiVESPORTS.com at the link below. http://www.creativesports.com/Staff/BaseballArticles/tabid/70/ctl/ArticleView/mid/390/articleId/2789/TheNFBCZoneGoingGlobal.aspx In general, it was a great alternati...

I guess I am glad that I only wasted a 29th round draft choice on Sheffield in last night's online draft.

Just wanted to pass along my thanks to the MockDraftCentral guys for your effort in running the phone leagues. There were some kinks at the start (like everyone having an incorrect phone number to dial-in) that were effectively and quickly fixed so we were able to get moving. My opinion is that the ...

For those of us drafting by phone tomorrow, are the position eligibility lists on the website up to date or will the latest version be emailed to us (or posted on the message board)?



Thanks

MARC

I want to thank Greg and Tom for giving us the opportunity to chat tonight. Good luck to all this season!

Originally posted by FFBL23: Rank the following and why? Bedard, Maine, and Harang 1) Maine - Good K-rate even in a down 2008. The Mets bullpen improvements will give him several six-inning victories. 2) Bedard - Somewhere in-between Maine and Harang. Health is obviously an issue. Will be pitching o...

Originally posted by FFBL23: Which of the following has a bigger year: Votto, N. Cruz, or J. Bruce? 1) Bruce - Going to be a super-stud. Get him now. Next year he goes in the first two rounds. 2) Votto - Very solid. Proven in 2008. 4) N. Cruz - Too much of a wild card. Sure he hit the tar out of Tri...

Originally posted by JohnZ: Thoughts on Alex Gordon?? Mike Jacobs?? I agree with JP on Jacobs. Bad batting average. Good home run total. Not the kind of guy I am looking for at 1B. I am much higher on Gordon than JP. I am willing to use a roster spot on my team betting on Gordon going 20-20 with at ...

A few more from earlier Spring training reports? I dont know if we are doing the Spring Training Reports or not. If we dont, I will try and post updates on what I see. I have the good fortune of living in Jupiter Florida and attend a good majority of the Marlins and Cardinals spring training games. ...

From a few earlier questions 2 pitchers going in round 7+ to join elite - Matt Cain and Josh Johnson (with Chris Volstad and David Price just behind them) Jeter downward trend - No - In 13 seasons, Jeter has hit over 20 HR only three times (and no more than 24). Jeter only had 11 SB in 16 attempts i...

Time for Round 2

I saw this today and my jaw dropped. Playing fantasy baseball for $100k first prize seems kind of small when you can play fantasy fishing (FantasyFishing.com). Time for Greg to get some sponsors and up the anty... FLW Fantasy Fishing is offering anyone who plays the game the opportunity to participa...

There is no arguing how good Santana is right now and that his acquisition puts the Mets right up with the favorites for the World Series. However, the Twins are not playing for now. They are developing a team to make a run from the low-budget slot in 3-5 years. Maybe the Yankees offer was better. M...

Guess I cant get too excited that I have Baez, as Gagne cost me a 5th round pick.
