Re: Coronavirus NFBC Travel

I'll be there for the auction regardless, Greg. Might not be hanging around the casino much, but I'm not missing the Diamond and hopefully we have a full room of competitors. 8-) We will take a break every 15 minutes to go wash our hands for 20 seconds. We will have the cleanest buffets and drink s...

Re: Coronavirus NFBC Travel

It comes down to our own personal decisions. For those choosing not to attend live events, I'm sure the NFBC will create Main Event leagues for that time slot online. Hopefully, the same for the other drafts that are live as well. All we can do is hope for the best and expect the worst. I'm in the ...

Coronavirus?! You have a better chance of contracting and dying from the flu in the next few weeks.
Repeating the comments of Putin's ball-licker is irresponsible, Mike. Early estimates say Covid-19 is ten to 20 times more lethal than the flu and its communicability is still not clear.

I Will Make You Hurt

Might be time to pull Severino off the board. I just saw him go 5/75.

Re: 2020 GTD NFBC Auction Feb 20 @ 7pm EST(sold out)

The opportunity is definitely there. He was beyond pathetic last season but I like the upside. I was shocked someone bid $4 since it was at the end and nobody had much money left. I thought for sure I was getting him for $3 but I did want him. Hope it works out. My entire middle infield cost me fiv...

Chief regret was forgetting to run Tom up to 30 bucks on Hiura. :lol: I had $30 set aside in case some wise ass like you did that :) I was prepared for it and happy he went for the price I wanted to pay. I fully expect Hirua to have a $35-$40 price next season. He's that good and his ceiling is sky...

Re: 2020 GTD NFBC Auction Feb 20 @ 7pm EST(sold out)

Since I can't draft Acuna from my typical Draft Champion position of 11, I decided I would bite the bullet and pay up unless bidding went really nuts. I haven't owned deGrom in two years, so I opened the wallet for him, too. I probably should have passed on Meadows and used that money on a cheaper f...

Re: Rules for 2020

Much of the September stat volatility will be mitigated this year anyway with the mandatory 28-man rosters so this may likely become a moot point.

Re: Rules for 2020

No your not, If you start him as pitcher, you get his pitching stats the same as every other pitcher in the NFBC. You have one chance to do this each week. If you start him as hitter, you get to change him on Friday just like very other hitter in baseball. It's one or the other not both. The Ohtani...

Re: Rules for 2020

"The reasoning is that Major League Baseball counts it as part of its regular season." Major League Baseball also counts Shohei Ohtani's hitting and pitching statistics in the same week. Yes? Just making a point. Thanks for the survey. This is a lame sales pitch. If this was the case, every pitcher...

Re: Ohtani 2020

We need a better method of calculating his worth next season. He should be two distinct players, Ohtani the Hitter and Ohtani the Pitcher. If you draft Ohtani the Hitter in round eight, you get Ohtani the Pitcher as your last draft pick, be it in round 50 or round 30. This way, you can start him as ...

Well, the early results are in and we don't like cheaters. Or we don't like the odds of cheaters replicating their numbers in a square game. I'm not going to get into a discussion about how much the Astros hitters were aided by their sign stealing. There's no way to say and we still have no idea of ...

Yes. We started on it yesterday and it will go out soon. Oh, by the way, not sure if you saw Manfred's new playoff proposal that would start in 2022, but if they expand to 7 playoff teams per league there would be no play-in game. Now, there's certainly no guarantee that proposal will fly, but inte...

Same old Mets , ownership is great are telling half truths , they are super sensitive to any kind of criticism. Tough to be a Mets fan
Flipping the team for a 600% profit and no longer being despised by the fan base would seem like a pretty good deal, but apparently not. :lol:

There would be a market for 30 minute DC's. We're already seeing one hour drafts filling in 2-3 days now. Halving the pick time in one hour drafts after round 30 would also be welcome.

Re: Ohtani and the NFBC

Ohtani is of little to no value in the fantasy baseball world. But I don't blame the NFBC. I blame Billy Eppler. The Angels GM is a donkey in my view. He babies Ohtani so much that the Angels don't have a star player in him. They have a "imagine if...." player. Even before Tommy John, Eppler had no...
