Tony

I would choose the $500 March 10th spot.

I think what you just described above with "layering" is what I mean when I say draft "enough value." I will always use projections and have had great success doing it but I know that they will most likely become only 70% ish true, I'm not naive. BUT, if i get enough players at a "discount" of what ...

What would you propose instead of projections?

Today's video flashback is an analysis of all things auction strategy. There really is no need to spend an hour on the subject as there are only a few main principles to follow to generally be successful in auction drafts. Hint: It has everything to do with perceived value based on realistic project...

I'm interested to know this year if anyone out there plans for an auction to "build" their team around a specific player. Whether that be because you simply like the player, think he is about to break out, want a specific position filled, etc.. Obviously, you guys know I don't really care who is on ...

Today’s flashback prep video is about saves and how they are perpetually overrated , especially in a satellite league. Hotly debated topic annually. Count me as someone who hates the moniker “closer” as well as the entire stupid concept.

Andy. I will take another shot at this guy. Sign me up for the $500 Auction Thanks, Dan Mitlof Alright, welcome in Dan. I figure leading up to this draft, what better way to prep for it than revisiting some of the general auction strategy videos I put together last year. Some of the player analyses...

Dear Rotoboy, When you are ready to graduate from the minor leagues to the major leagues, sign up for the $2,500 live NYC auction. That is where you will find me (and other sharks). I only have 1 FAAB league this year and that is the 1. Signed, Great White Shark Typical response. It's one thing to ...

You gotta beat the Man. Something no one in the entire NFBC community was able to do in the infamous "Come At Me Bro," Auction of 2017 when yours truly (as predicted) went wire to wire to win the league. RotoBoy is back and better than ever and since no one was up to the challenge last year the grea...

This is invaluable Todd, thanks

Haha thanks, looking forward to next year

I'm sure this has been answered in some capacity so sorry if it has but I can't really find it specifically. When or how are we getting paid this year?

Also, thanks for everyone who participated in the "Come at me Bro" 2017 auction. I think I went to wire to wire!!!!

My most common occurrence is winning a guy and overbidding him by three times as much as the next highest bidder. Come up with an acronym for that one

It would be a hell of a lot easier if ANY pitcher stayed healthy. This shit is seriously annoying,

I appreciate it but still early May. I have one team that projects to finish third now and it also happens to be the team that I disliked the most after the draft.

NEW UPDATE on my season progress including a shout out to the one and only Andy Saxton and an update on the COME AT ME BRO auction league filled with some of the best players the NFBC has to offer. Check it out here:

I've been playing in the draft champions league's for the last 5 years or so. Here's my question. I love the flexibility of the slow draft but still want the ability to make moves during the year. Does this exist? If not, I wonder if this is something that others would also prefer. I feel the exact...

You're team is "done" because of an injury? Maybe your team sucked to begin with, or maybe you can fix it:

Yes, and no. Today's topic from yours truly:

Yea apparently that Saint John Lackey also made some snide comment about it. As a novice lifter looking at Thames even with a baseball jersey on you can tell he's damn built but until the guy fails a drug test I'll enjoy the fact I have him in half my leagues. Seriously gives you a weird bond with a...

Weird tendency I have, I promise if I'm knocked out of first I'll be at a a stand still..

THIS WEEK'S UPDATE!

Somehow I missed this entire thread earlier in the year. Must have been prepping for the Main Event. That said, ON THIS THREAD, between Rotoboy and Gekko, Rotoboy seems like the most reasonable and more boisterous of the two. Admirable achievements on both accounts. I wish we had more threads like ...
