Re: Slow pokes and Draft Champion Leagues

I play a lot of the slow drafts. Really enjoy them but would enjoy more if they were quicker. A 2 hour clock would be great!

Re: Here's How You Change Your Team Names

The name doesn't change in the draft room, unfortunately.

Re: Welcome To Our New NFBC Online Draft Room

I have never complained about any NFBC issue but, for Pete's sake, fix Auto-1. Management is proud of the new site. I don't care. I was fine with the old site and not as fine with the new one because there is no Auto-1. I don't care about new acquisition delays or the ability to take some or none of...

Anthony Rizzo at 2B

Due to his positioning on possible bunt plays, he has officially played 2B in 5 games this season, according to the info on MLB.com. He is now eligible at 2B in CBS leagues that use a 5 game minimum. At this pace, he will qualify in NFBC leagues at the end of July. It could be quite an advantage for...

Re: $50 BEAT GREG AND TOM AUCTION LEAGUE(2/23 post analysis)

We (Jimpats) do not believe in overpaying so we can actually nap for the 1st ten rounds or so, We're pretty happy with our team but it's a long season. It was fun, well-run and the site worked well.

Re: Draft Champions

I aim for 20 pitchers and four at every other position. I believe I got that from Gecko a couple years ago and it has worked well for me.

Re: Batting Average vs. OBP: Let's Discuss For The NFBC

I greatly prefer OBP but play in both. I think OBP is a better reflection of a players' value to his team. I find it amusing that that the BA guys are calling the OBP folks stat geeks. We're all stat geeks. Some just prefer different stats.

Re: "Punting" Saves this Year

I did it twice last year in $150 DCs. Won one and finished 7th in the other. I've done it twice this year. I think it's more effective in the earlier drafts when there is even more uncertainty about who is closing for whom.

Re: Draft Champions

Oh no! More than 50 rounds is a terrible idea. I play DCs and enjoy them but most of us are ready to quit after 50. I've never run out of players and it shouldn't happen if you draft correctly.

Re: Somewhat political post, non baseball

Trump's real solid base seems made up of folks who don't read or listen to anything that disagrees with their world view. The news they value comes from Limbaugh and his ilk. It's ok with them that he mocks the disabled, denigrates captured soldiers and on and on. The folks that represent real repub...

Re: Sunday April 3 / Week 1

I have Lucas Duda. The Mets play today, then have only one more game through Thursday. Does this mean that, if he goes 0-for-4 today and I replace him tomorrow, his 0-for-4 will not count on my stats?

I've gotta read these posts more carefully. I thought the advice was to "drink more drafts" and it hasn't really helped my baseball forecasting but I've met a lot of nice folks. :D

We finished in a third place tie in a Draft Champions league. Do we split the money or is there a tie break procedure.
