Re: NFBC Rank & ADP Influence

The Hader/Hendriks ranks have had a cascading effect on other closers. If Hader was ranked 100, he would not be going 30th or somewhere around there. You might be projecting your beliefs onto the drafting population as a whole. Scherzer, who is the #1 ranked SP at #9 (excluding Ohtani), is going in...

Re: NFBC Rank & ADP Influence

I think you give the pre-rankers too much credit. If we put Hader at 100, do you think he'd last that long? I don't. I put the pre-rankings together thanks to results we had from the Premature Edraftulation league, one industry league and one other early draft I saw. The idea is just to get players...

Re: NFBC Rank & ADP Influence

The Hader/Hendriks ranks have had a cascading effect on other closers. Here are the top 8 closer picks in the two 400 DCs:

Draft 1: 26, 29, 44, 45, 47, 53, 63, 76
Draft 2: 32, 33, 36, 38, 53, 59, 60, 61

NFBC Rank & ADP Influence

Greg, I know I've asked this question to you over beers at Mustang Harry's in NYC, but how again is pre-ADP "Rank" determined? I'm noticing that however players are ranked before ADP is established - whoever makes those decisions - very highly influences how owners are picking players. For example, ...

Sam Huff: C or 1B?

Normally I'd e-mail about this but we are drafting now and people may see this.

Sam Huff is listed as a catcher on the site, but he only played 1B in the minors last year.

Re: Innings Minimum

I reached out to each of the affected owners and to a man they did not realize they missed the IP minimum. And in most cases, they had so many injuries on their DC teams that they couldn't have done much to change the final result. I think it shows me that maybe we need to find a better way to aler...

Re: Cleveland f.k.a Indians

It was only a matter of time when MLB (although not the league, just the teams within it) became like the NBA or NHL in terms of team name blandness.

Own/Start %

This year the Set Lineup UI is not showing Ownership/Start percentages if the player has not accumulated MLB stats yet. This is different than in past years. Separately, it would be helpful to see the Ownership/Start percentages when showing the player schedules so I don't have to toggle back-and-fo...

Set Lineup

Suggestion: The Set Lineup page should show position eligibility for the hitters. For those of us with multiple teams, as we run through lineups each half-week it helps to know where everyone qualifies. You kinda show it (but primary position only) if the player is as corner, middle infielder, or on...
