i have yet to see an nfbc draft on mdc that doesn't have at least 5 teams using auto select. your practicing against a computer

without shealy they hit 238 last year. he should hit 20 so that is 258. many of these guys missed time or had bad years. as a team- i think it has more potential to go up than down. todd seems smart enough to have drafted another outfielder to start if pena isn't playing- so i would say a good chanc...

sometimes it helps to be a sox fan- a white sox fan. we all passed on d. lee last year!

geez- this was the 1st thing i read today. chest and dough- you hit the nail on the head! be happy

it is on cbs sportsline- all 30 teams 70 degress, 50% humidity, this years balls. in phoenix, colorado and maybe texas ( never been to arlington)- that will require a humidor i would think.

the question also said "LESS than 10" kaz had 10

who is josh fields? he is playing baseball now- not qb- although i here the bears might be interested in a bo jackson type of deal. he stole 28 last year in 3a with an obp of .379. pods had surgery and was a step slow last year anyway. if josh has a good spring- he starts in left. if he keeps hittin...

arizona is going to have a very, very good defense this year.

tom- trust an old guy. it is a question mark, however, just like an eyesite test- people that need glasses will see a p because their eyes are going. actually you are saving these guys a trip to the eye doctor. if they see a p- time for reading glasses. i see a p without my glasses- a question mark ...

greg- if it is easy to do- you should put "winner take all" or "pay top 3" for all the leagues listed on page 1- or have "winner take all leagues" and "pay top 3 leagues" lined up together. as of now some have nothing listed.

in fact- you being a cub fan- you should kds around 3-4 and get soriano, lee and maybe ramirez. someone would have a tough time convincing me that isn't a good start to a team.

vander- chests reply hit the nail on the head for me. if you like d lee- take him. if you are at bottom of draft- there are 24-30 picks before you draft again. he is not coming back. plus nobody brings up the all important point of planning out the draft. to take an outfielder there ( the most likel...

how much ya think the bears win the superbowl by- 10, 20, 30?

sbm- love to read your posts, both here and wcoff. i do trust you and am thinking about taking your bet. how about 5-1 on $100 bucks? i am thinking of protection on injury- for both sides- because in my opinion that is all that stops me from winning. how about 150 games for holiday and 150 games for...

they also lack an outfielder that can actually throw a baseball

of course if you would have drafted smoltz as your #1 last year , along with shilling, mussina, glavine, maddux, orlando hernandez, and rodgers- for a combined age of about 300 years- you would have 1) been ripped for drafting the all "old" staff and 2) had a really good pitching staff. but...... th...

greg- non fantasy question ( sort of). are the brewers, cubs and dodgers in a race to see who can field the worst defense of the 21st century?

gecko- thanks for choosing me. headhunters

i respectfully disagree on verlander. 06 was his rookie year. he pitched almost 210 innings. he pitched an xtra month- so his arm has one less month to recoop. jones and his 39 year old arm and 3.94 era to go along with 28 k's is not "lights out". veralders aug era 6.83 sept 4.82 and postseason 5.82...

ok i will take my shot- who is ervin santana? only 24, santana went 16-8 in his sophmore season. while many pitchers regress in their sophmore seasons ( see webb, duke, and gekkos favorite- f. hernandez.) - santana went from 12- 16 wins took 1/2 point off his era and lowered his walk and homer rates...

and washingtons and san diegos and milwaukees

i would start worrying about the giants lineup before baltimores

that is a great pick in 11th round. plus he bats 5th. he either gets 90 rbis or the cubs are sub .500. nice to get the hometown catcher in round 19- but in chicago draft by march barratt will not last to 11th- no way.

barrett- nothing much to look at. line up will be 2000% and 300 million improved. he was hurt last year- but he hits for high average and power should easily be better than all other catchers. a steal in round 7 .325 100 100 25 easy. those are better #'s than any other catcher.

i agree- that is why if you want him- you have to move him to the 6th round right now.
