Does anyone know where I can find statistics around the category totals and averages scored by each league winner last year? What about the overall winner? Any help here would be appreciated.

Live Standings would rock!

With all the talk on the boards about Cotts, Burgos and Miceli being the hot commodities in FAAB, I found it curious to note that our draft drafted all 3 of them. For a league that was getting bashed pre and post draft for not being up to snuff, I think that is a nice feather in our caps. Good job.

Not only did I get paid quickly, but after I was a bit of a lazy ass in getting my tax form filled out, Greg actually called me to remind me to fill out the form so he could pay me QUICKER!!!

Originally posted by joeyt300: Good post Rey, Todd Walker isn't all thats available on the waiver wire though, easy to make your strategy work with that example. Last year we picked up Felipe Lopez, Johnny Peralta and Geoff Jenkins off waivers and just missed Aron Boones second half too...A surprise...

Originally posted by Cherokee Nation: But you're leaving off the fact that 9 out of 10 of those guys DON'T PAN OUT $ 250 for 1 or 2 saves is more the norm from watching this the past couple of years You're going under the presumption that these free agent dollars are wisely spent. 90% of the time th...

Originally posted by Cherokee Nation: Every year we get ripped for drafting so many closers, as the experts tell us "just get em cheap during the season" then I sit back with my drafted closers and watch the people taking the advice to not prioritize closers spend 25% of their annual free agent budg...

? I paid all my bets, and only had to wait a day or two for some pay to come in which delayed things only a few days (well, and the transfer into Paypall added 3-4 days). So it wasn't hard at all. Though there was one individual who was such a strang pain in the butt, I paid him last just for being ...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: I actually have a negative number but almost all of the negatives are huge and in rounds 23 and after not that worried about that. Chest: I noticed that too. I think the overall +/- might not be a good guage, as I think alot of teams may have gone for their favor...

Originally posted by coops: The "my pick" and "difference columns" are great. I see that my best value pick was Biggio at 53.56 later than average. My worst pick, Brady Clark at 58.16 earlier than average. Of course best and worst are all relative. Anyone with a + or - better than mine? I'm the prou...

How many leagues experienced the mad closer runs that Tampa had? To me, that was the story of the day. In my opinion, how you reacted to that earlier than expected run will have a direct effect on your overall finish. It was funny, cause in Tampa 3, it took a while for the first closer to fall off t...

Positives: You got the saves category pretty well covered with 2 guys who could get 40 apiece. I like Alex Rios as a 5th OFer. Negatives: Took Nomar too early. You're rotation needs some help. I like Bonderman, but as a 3 or 4. As a #2 guy, you're putting alot on his shoulders. where are you gonna g...

Well guys, look's like we're the Rodney Dangerfield of leagues this year. Jeez.



Anyways, Looking forward to a great season. Good luck to all.

Oh, and I gotta keep bugging ya about the site...Any new wrinkles in future...Any hope to see real time stats?

I got one for you Greg. You see any bargains coming out of the Marlin fiasco? I'm not talking about Cabrera, Willis or even Hermida. I'm talking more about the hodge-podge of talent they're gonna be throwing out there daily around those guys. Josh Willingham, Eric Reed, Mike Jacobs, Hanley Ramirez.....

Wow! This is spectacular. Many congrats to Greg, Tom and the rest of the crew. Now that we're all reminiscing, who remembers Greg pimping out those Pete Rose balls? I half imagined him walking the streets of Wisconsin wearing an NFBC shirt and tossing Pete Rose balls to every individual within his t...

Gekko Phone. I like it. We can pack it with loads of features, like the "Muuuaaahahahhaha" ring tone, and free text messaging, to allow users to write on and on and on. Unfortunately, the phone comes with a $100,000 price tag...but only during Football season. During baseball season, we can market i...

I was in Las Vegas 1 with the CC's (finished in 2nd) and I can assure you that the discussion about the the NT strategy employed by some teams is being overstated here. Remember, this strategy has a double edged sword. While SP's may have been readily available, strong hitters were not, as many of t...

I'm with you Viper. I'm perfectly happy with the site as is, but I do think things can be done to modernize it a bit, in order to keep up with other sites out there. To me, the one feature that is missing is the Live Standings feature. Coming down the stretch last year, I was neck and neck battling ...

Hey Greg! I was curious, are we still going to be using the same STATS web interface that we used last year to access our leagues/teams? I know there was a discussion last year around upgrading the interface. I just thought it'd be nice if the nation's premier fantasy baseball event had the nation's...

All very good ideas. For simplicities sake, though, I like the way Yahoo does this. They simply have a single java applet that keeps a running tab of every team's daily stats along with the real-time standings for every team. The applet is updated on the fly, without user intervention, and adjusts s...

as if on cue...Wickman gives up 4 in the 9th, blowing a 3 run lead for the Indians.

Good job on the site updates STATS. I'd like to make another request. It's actually one I made last year as well. Would it be possible to keep real-time standings? Since real-time stats are being generated, wouldn't it be possible to also keep track of real-time standings, both overall and league, s...

League LV1 has the same problem of reversed picks in even numbered rounds.
