NFBC Message Boards

It's far too early to predict who will win the 2007 NFBC overall title and the $100,000 grand prize, but it's never too early to analyze how the teams in the hunt for this prize got there. Just looking at the Top 20 teams overall, there are some interesting facts. Let's look at a few: 1) Two sets of...

Originally posted by Plymouth: And Ankiel has not been a pitcher for how many years now? You have to be a little more timely then that. You would think that in a situation like this that STATS would be all over it in order to show how good they are. It just seems to me like they never heard the sayi...

Originally posted by HITMAN HOMERS: Any chance we get FAAB results before midnight???? Guys, STATS took extra time last night to make sure we didn't miss any e-mail requests or phone requests before they ran the free agent lists, which is why we had a slight delay. The guys there double checked ever...

Originally posted by la Jolla: I bet it's because he used to be a pitcher and they do not get credit for offense...have them check that Greg Chris wins the prize. STATS said they had him listed as a pitcher and changed him this weekend and thus his hitting stats didn't show up. They will showcase hi...

Originally posted by Spyhunter:

greg, any response? I would assume that if Ankeil is like this, then there are other players? I don't know why he's showing no stats. I'll ask.

Originally posted by fireballs:

Greg, any idea when the overall will be updated? Thanks. Is it updated now? I thought that was taken care of. I'll check again.

Sorry for the delay this morning, but we had to re-run Friday's results last night and then we ran Saturday's results after that. The results should be done for every league, but a few league standings are still processing as of right now. They should be done shortly. We will be caught up then from ...

We will be re-running the standings from last night again in the next hour. I'll let you know when they've been re-run, but the problem from last night has been found. Sorry again and good luck with tonight's games.

Originally posted by la Jolla: Greg, just so you know, I printed out the stats for my league yesterday and the stats that showed up this morning were not those, they were actually lower in totals in some cases and the ratios were actually somehow accurate. So it was not just a matter of running last...

STATS is re-running the overall standings now, so look for an update there in an hour or so. The stats for last night's games ran late and were finished a few hours ago, but somehow the overall standings weren't updated with last night's results. STATS is re-running those now. Sorry for the inconven...

I've had a few e-mails about last night's stats running correctly, so I've asked STATS to double check everything. I'm not sure what happened, but I'll give a progress report when I get one from STATS and if they need to re-run last night to get this correct they will. Sorry. Now about tomorrow's FA...

This year for the first time we ran a pair of NFBC $500 Draft Champions Satellite Leagues. It was an interesting concept that was proposed by our members where teams would draft 40 players and there would be no free agent pickups during the season. Players could set their starting lineups each week,...

Originally posted by bjoak: Bonds, on pace for a 88, 32, 74, 7, .277 season, was dropped in LV 1 in case no one noticed. Dude has such luminaries as Jason Tyner and Jason Jennings on his bench. Bonds and David Weathers were probably the two cuts we examined the most this week. We allowed Weathers to...

Originally posted by mdz129: Greg, On Friday at 8:03AM I posted a question regarding de la rosa p kc being placed on the DL on Wednesday and there was no dl designation from stats. Can we see what the story was with de la rosa as I had 2 pitchers I could have substituted before 1pm but wasn't able t...

Originally posted by Spyhunter: Greg, If we could add the capability to type in a name while adding free agents to a conditional bid list (instead of having to use the various drop down filters and page to the right person), that would be very helpful. The amount of time it takes to update / manage ...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Greg, My last question was a softball. Now to the real point. If you have rules than you have to stick to them. If it just happens to be the second place team in the overall complaining on the messege board it doesn't matter. The rules are the rules. Telling one gro...

Originally posted by Spyhunter: Greg, The recent stats issues underscore the risks of expanding the user base. As you move beyond the 'hard core' into more of a mass appeal product, the infrastructure must be rock solid. I am sure you are reinforcing that with Stats Spy I agree with that wholehearte...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: "9. Bidding Time Frame: The bidding process starts just prior to Opening Day and ends at the completion of Week 26 (there is no new FAAB period if there is a regular-season tie-breaker game). Bids will be accepted on the league web site from Monday at 3 p.m. ET unti...

Originally posted by GOD Loves You: Greg, I understand what you are saying, but with many owners being in many different leagues, it could definitely be quite difficult. I'm in a league where we have to type all of our bids. People HAVE all of the free agents available at their disposal, yet still m...

Bidding is closed.

Everything is now entered manually and we are going to run the bids now. Look for winning bids soon. Good luck everyone.
