Thank You New York
I'll add my congrats to Tom and his team as well, they did a top-notch job. Great meeting some folks in person at the Friday 10am auction, the Live DP on Friday at 5pm and the auction on Sunday at 1pm. Only suggestion for improvement is for us caffeine addicts: coffee! Especially for a draft startin...

Some NFBC Slow Draft Early Results
Originally posted by Rainiers: In a different slow draft, I thought about doing what two teams did in this draft...take two first baseman in the first two rounds. I've read advice that you should not do this. Common sense also seems to dictate that it is not a good idea to do that early in the draft...

I reported an auto draft problem in SD#3 on 12/24, so this has been an ongoing problem for at least ten days.

Greg/Tom/Geoff, you need to decide how Chat is going to be handled. Right now there seem to be two major differences between the Live Chat area on the main screen and the Chat Popout screen: 1) Live Chat is where you can actually enter your comments (can't be done in Popout). 2) Chat Popout shows (v...

Sorry for the delay. The wireless internet connection here at Planet Hollywood Casino in Vegas sucks (but I did hit the Pats/Over parlay on Monday night, so that's taken away some of the pain...).

Unbreakable Records
1912--Outfielder Owen "Chief" Wilson hit 36 triples. Only four guys since 1980 have had even 20 (Willie Wilson and Lance Johnson with 21 and George Brett and Jimmy Rollins with 20). It would take an incredibly special player who plays his home games in a park that has weird dimensions (like Triples ...

And what a shock, Werth's agent is Scott Boras. I thought that after he failed with a number of his free agent players last winter that the owners had finally gotten wise to him and were starting to shut him down a bit, but obviously not. This is like the Pedro signing by the Mets. His signing jolte...

Is he the Sox full-time SS this year? Can he stay healthy? Am I throwing away this pick? Or am I doing it just to annoy Todd, who I'm sure was planning to pick him later this round?

Was really hoping to hold out until the last round to grab my second catcher, but there's been such a run that I'll grab the last semi-regular that shows a history of returning a positive value:

Hey Dan, at the end of the 15th can you create one post that has all 15 rounds included? I keep having to jump around the thread trying to find the pages that contain certain rounds to see if a guy has already been drafted.
Thanks!

Glenn, thanks very much, that's a perfect explanation. So I guess that makes the $125 satellite leagues even more attractive, since you're getting about 10:1 on your money, while the Main Event is only offering 3:1. Looks like it's much smarter to enter four or five $125 leagues than one higher entr...

Just got my check for coming in 2nd place in a $350 Online League. I've never cashed before, so I was always under the impression that the amount that you get is the published number PLUS your original entry fee.
