NFBC Message Boards

I believe the answer (rightly or wrongly) is that Paxton MIGHT have 200 K's and an excellent ERA and ratio, and he MIGHT get 17 wins. Whereas Kyle Hendricks is considered slightly above average. In short, Paxton still has a higher ceiling, and by a fair bit. I know that I draft Paxton in some years ...

Sounds really interesting Greg. I would love to try it out......except.....I could not possibly have the patience for 4 hour picks. Now if MTM was to run one, I would join for sure. But the idea is neat and strategy would be fun and very important. I think it may well be a success, but I'll be waiti...

I never met Stan, but he sure sounds like a good man. RIP Stan. It surely is a loss for our NFBC.

Agreed that half of that top 10 list will not be in next year's top 10. My thought is Verlander, Scherzer, Strasburg (ouch), and Sale will not be there. And by being hurt for a good amount of time, one of the others will not be either. (no idea who, just a probable occurrence) So my prediction would...

For me, there are players that you mentioned, like Sale and Tatis that I do not even put on my list. Seriously. This is because I know with great certainty that while I do like them, they will be taken way before I'm willing to take them. This does not mean I refuse to draft a player who had questio...

All good Dan. I think everybody on the board knows you are a big supporter of the NFBC. And getting back to your original post here, most of us do indeed love the fact we are competing with the best of the best when joining the NFBC. I also understand how people ask you to mention things, as some ar...

I think you are off base in the first half of your post Dan. And I bet if you thought about it, you would agree you were too harsh on the NFBC. I've been in for 4 years now, but have years of experience with other sites and organizations. Sure there is the odd problem , but all in all this is a fant...

Thanks Dan and Todd. All good now. Much appreciated.

Sorry Greg, but that link does not appear to work...??

I'm in if there is room Mike.

Al (Thurman15)

Are we still able to get discounts on rooms Wednesday 18th to Saturday 21st ?? Or have I waited too long ??

Personally Mike, I will make myself available whenever it is "go time" I'm only cautioning that the site might not be available at noon tomorrow. Noon is indeed a good starting time, but we do need the site/draft room to be available obviously.

As an auction lover.....YAHOO !!! I'm pumped for these auctions. Especially the FAAB ones. Good decision Greg and company....

Count me in Mike. Love your fast drafts. From Al (Thurman15)

Excellent post Dan. It helps big time. And for myself, I like the way you "recruit" for your leagues. Which is why I stated (on the main board) that I understood and agreed with what Mike was doing. We want fun, not fighting, in all the NFBC pools/leagues. It DOES matter to me what goes on in pools ...

OK maybe I should have clarified how this pool/league actually started. Did the NFBC start it and anyone could join originally ? Or did Mike organize it and ask the NFBC to run it ? What I think is acceptable is the following.....Joe Smith contacts 14 other guys who agree to go in a pool together. J...

From a neutral point of view, I've been mostly an auction guy but I do a few drafts over my 4 years......I agree with Doughboys and with Mike. To me, since Mike organized this pool, promoted this pool, and spent time and money on this pool, he SHOULD get to decide who gets in. He is making money (an...

And a further point....I have never seen as many pitchers who were leading in the game, pulled after 4 and 2/3 innings. ONE out away, they were winning, but the manager won't let them get that out. It used to be if they were within an out of qualifying for the win, the manager would be lenient.....n...

Guys, as we approach the new draft season, I thought it might help if those that are interested, state what type or types they would like to see run in November. I can start it off. I would be interested in any any auction or any of Mike's fast drafts. ** Greg if you remember we convinced you to add...

Awesome Greg !! Those are excellent prices. Almost unbeatable. Great job and thanks.

Incredibly interesting. My pick for top team. #11 easily. For individual players.....Sorry to pile on but Gurriel goes way beyond " a reach" He won't go until the 4th or 5th rounds of most drafts. But the rest of that team looks pretty darn good. My shocking claim ?? I fully understand I may be call...

I believe that wins plus quality starts would be better. It still rewards the middle reliever who gets a win, or the starter who pitches "OK" but gets his win........but it rewards the real good pitchers with 2 points for doing both. The problem (as Mike mentioned) is that die hards may go for it, b...

I'm a huge Yankee fan, but I'm concerned that Frazier will never be a regular. I look at some of the drops and I see Alex Verdugo twice. I believe Verdugo is the better hitter. So paying 189 to DROP Verdugo for Frazier is not wise in my opinion, but as you mentioned, 2 home runs in the spotlight did...

Rock and Roll, Boys. Let the games begin. Christmas all over again. Like you said Dan, it no longer matters where we drafted them....just that they are on our team.

Well I will be a monkey's uncle. Never in a million years did I think Manny would sign in San Diego. New league, new city (thousand miles away from where he was rumored to want to live), and a last place team. Guess the money won out again. But here goes another Robinson Cano. Took the money and las...
