Re: What Technical Improvements Would You Like To See?

My head is spinning from the yo-yo callups and demotions and how a player is sometimes available for pickup then not. Examples are Anthony Rendon and Dan Straily. There are eligibility requirements for positions that, once met, don't change. Could there be an eligibility requirement for free agent c...

Marco Scutaro

Lousy drop.

Re: Top 60 ADP- Gold or Bust?

If the jury is out on Ellsbury then I'd have to say the jury is out on McCutcheon too.

Playing better now but still a power shortage for someone in the top 10 ADP.

Keeping my fingers crossed McCutch will have a hot streak and get back to 2012 power levels soon.

Re: Disabled List

As a new NFBC player this year I assumed the 7 player bench was meant to leave room for 2 (or more) DL players, since many other fantasy rosters allow only 5 on the reserve. With higher stakes and prizes I assumed the league creators wanted to keep the playing field level for everyone and therefore ...

Re: Free Agents

So a player can be an eligible free agent one week but if not picked up he becomes ineligible if sent down? It makes sense but the rules don't refer to losing eligibility so I can see how some of us feel misled. Knowing how it affected Rendon helps me understand why Straily wasn't available after ma...

Re: Old School Stupid

The word we use for "old-school stupid" is Crafty. Braves manager is being "crafty" by overworking JT and fully expects him to get blown up next time out, just in time for Beachy to return to the rotation. After Teheran's sub-par outing, there will be far less second-guessing the removal of Teheran ...

Re: Trevor Bauer Bid Question

So in the three Online Championship leagues where he was successfully picked up yesterday, we should assume he was chosen on draft day and since dropped otherwise he would be unavailable.

Re: FAAB Bids page frozen

Turns out it's only one bid group that freezes the page. As long as I don't touch that bid group, I can add and adjust my other bid groups fine. As soon as I try to make any changes to that one group, I get an orange box which says "Working..." and then the whole page stops allowing changes to anyth...

Darvish + Liriano = High upside, high downside

I'm looking forward to games tonight where I have: Darvish vs Tigers @ Texas -and- Liriano vs Brewers @ Pirates The night could end horribly but has the potential to be hugely beneficial to all four SP categories. The powerhouse Tigers offense had me seriously consider benching Darvish for his 1-sta...

Re: FREE NFBC iPhone App Available Now In iTunes Store

Android smartphones out-sell apple more than 3:1. So the other 75% of your customers are waiting. The Ford Escort greatly outsold the BMW 3 Series. Did that make it the "better automobile"? And before you accuse me of Apple bias, I own 1 iPhone, 1 Android phone, 1 Android tablet and 2 cats. I use a...

Re: $ Charlie Blackmon $

Here I thought I was being clever by using just $ on each side of his name instead of $$$

...to emphasize just how marginal Blackmon is compared to the high FAAB guys.
I suppose I wasn't clever enough.

Btw, Charlie B did get an HR in today's game so he just might be worth a buck.

$ Charlie Blackmon $

I'm tempted to spend a buck on Blackmon just to have him fill a bench slot, in case Colorado gets another OF injury and he gains everyday playing time.

Quad-A player from what I gather. Might give you stats when Rockies play at home.

Re: So far, Who makes you jealous???

I'm jealous of anyone who owns AJ Griffin and had the balls to start him @ NYY last week.

He was on my bench for the shutout vs Yankees. Perhaps he should join Darvish and King Felix on my "must start" list.


Cheers!

Re: $$$ Kenley Jansen $$$

League has given up a run in 7 of 10 appearances, according to the CBS Fantasy Baseball podcast.

If that doesn't seem like a problem, by all means keep using him. If the Dodgers keep using him, they'll finish about as high in their division as you do in your league.


Cheers!

Re: $$$ Dee Gordon $$$

$100 got him in my league, and my bid of $49 was second best.

Might be a good deal if Dee stays up with the team. Plenty of SB but count on a low BA once the shine wears off.
