Re: FA Bids tonight

The deadline had passed for FAAB bids when I posted. Since these guys do their homework they'll see his name in the STATS posts today so I'm not sure how that's spilling the beans the way you suggest is like mentioning an undrafted player in a DC chat room. I notice you don't seem to have a problem...

Re: FA Bids tonight

Someone also posted that Navarro could be traded to Cleveland from Toronto too today or yesturday. It's a good thought. Don't think it made Navarro go for 300 today or anything anyway. The Navarro situation in Toronto is a known issue, at least it should be to anyone who did their homework over the...

Re: FA Bids tonight

. Was I the only guy to bid on Mariners RP Carson Smith? Speculative for certain but with Rodney having a bad day and Smith already near the top of the strikeout leaderboard for free agents I thought I throw a few bucks at him. . Let others do their own due diligence; not sure why you need to bring...

Re: Accounting Issue/Question

I had the same questions/points last year. The accounting works a little differently for daily versus NFBC. Daily does net because there are so many entry points to account for. If your total cost throughout a season is 100k and you win 110k, then you're taxed on 10k. A full season league like NFBC ...

The Angels kept Mike Trout down for 20 games in 2012. They went 6-14 without him and 83-59 after his recall. They missed the wild card by four games.
A 8-10 WAR player like Trout means you influence an extra win about once every two or three weeks. Wouldn't have been a factor for the Angels.

Overvalued - Jose Altuve. If you're taking him as a Top 15-20 pick he needs to duplicate his production from last season. ???? By your own valuation system he was the best fantasy player last year. Do you expect him to do that again? If so then his ADP is justified. I don't which is why I don't lik...

Re: Greg & Shawn Competing In LABR AL & NL Auctions

Every year I look at the results of draft and I wonder what Lawr Michaels has been smoking. $40 for Kershaw when Scherzer, next highest sp, went for 32 is flat out just bad strategy. How is this a bad strategy? Kershaw beat Scherzer in 3 of 4 categories and had a higher strikeout rate. Scherzer's m...

Greg - this may be a little too early to ask, but what would be the probability of having power strips available for laptops on the first weekend? The rules clearly state we don't provide power. It's for a couple of reasons, but mainly because every room doesn't have access to power in every area. ...

Re: Plans For NFBC Platinum & Saturday Night League

I was ambivalent about Top3/4 in the Diamond Auction as well. I chose Top 3 because we already had 15 owners in place, but getting new ownership in the future could be tough if Top 3 is used.

Greg/Tom, I really feel for you guys having to deal with this.

Like I've said the people who post the most on these boards are some of the worst players from what I've seen. Have fun this season. I know i will. Deadhedz does post a lot. Sorry, we've tried to slow him down until his drafting catches up with his post quantity ... but he's got a lot of enthusiasm...
