If we want to do a shared winner form, does the other person have to officially signed up as the co-owner? And does that person need a W9 on file?

David Price at 5.1? The 14th overall pitcher? I'll GLADLY take that bargain in every single 2014 draft.

In terms of using an overall clock: why does the person who ran out of time even get to pick in order? What kind of penalty is it if the only decision is HOW their next pick is chosen, instead of WHEN they get to pick them? IMHO, if they run out of time, they go to the back of the line. So if you ha...

I was at this game today, and what I saw was a slider that didn't slide, a curveball that didn't curve and a changeup that didn't change. Even though he was around the plate and actually threw a lot of strikes with his fastball, he wasn't fooling anybody with his other pitches. He also made a mental...

Naw, it's gotta be Fozzie Bear when you say his name twice...

When looking at the ADP list, why is Billy Butler listed only as a DH? He played 20 games at 1B last year so he should be listed as a first baseman, yes?

Yes, but the AL has the Astros and Twins, so that kind of evens things out in the talent pool...

A few names come to mind as an influence, then a couple more I'll share as guys I enjoy reading now. Before there was Twitter, Facebook, the NFBC Forum, the Mastersball Forum, there was recreation.sports.baseball.fantasy one of the old usenet newsgroups. Here is where I first encountered Rotoman, a...

NFBC Draft Champions League
Round 1:

1 3 Ryan Braun LF
2 13 David Wright 3B
3 3 Bryce Harper CF
4 13 Cliff Lee SP
5 3 Madison Bumgarner SP
6 13 Jose Altuve 2B

Thoughts?

Now that's a nice-looking start to a draft...

Can someone explain to me why HanRam is getting such love? Current ADP is 18. Meanwhile, Ian Desmond, who had almost the exact same numbers last year (and is trending up, while HanRam is seemingly heading south) is at #41. I understand that both SS and 3B are hurting for quality this year, so is Han...

Let's start the week with one more NFBC draft result. After I just wrote about catchers, it's interesting to see that this last draft had Buster Posey going 6th overall. Enjoy: NFBC Draft Champions League 1 1 Mike Trout CF 2 15 David Price SP 3 1 Felix Hernandez SP 4 15 Zack Greinke SP 5 1 Yu Darvi...

Let's provide one more NFBC draft result to start out the week.

Perry, in the online BBHQ draft, #4 is Kemp and #27 is Rios. #12 is Fielder and #19 is Bautista. I don't have my copy of the NFBC BBHQ draft, but we were in it together so perhaps you have it?

I've had the 4th pick now in two separate drafts (NFBC @ BBHQ AFL Symposium, plus an online HQ mock on their Forums). For the first I took Cano, and for the second I took Kemp. What have I learned?

Didn't get a response on the other forum, so trying it here since this seems to be the primary area: I'm not quite sure I understand the two choices at the bottom of the online W9 form: I am the same person (or payee's agent) accessing the system and submitting this form as identified on the Substi...

Bump.

Never did get an answer to this question.

Just re-read my post and it comes off a bit harsh. I didn't intend it that way at all. Apologies.

Guess I'm in the minority, but I like the 900 IP limit as it stands. It gives each owner the ability to make their own strategic decisions both on Draft Day and throughout the year. If my primary goal is to come in first in my league and not in the Overall, and a RP strategy gives me the best chance...

Greg, another overall three-league update, if possible?

Greg, could we get an update on the standings in these three leagues? Thanks!

I don't see how you can hold drafts on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I'm not a Christian so take my opinion for what it's worth, but to me it seems very disrespectful. Would you hold a draft on Christmas Day? Why not just have one huge Super Draft Weekend on March 22-24? In fact, why not start on T...

Was at the MIA-BOS game last night. Sox crush Nolasco, take a nine run lead. Ozzie throws up the white flag and takes out Reyes, HanRam and Stanton while leaving Chris Hatcher in for almost 60 pitches even as he allows 7 baserunners in 1.2 IP. In the 6th inning, John Buck takes one in a bad spot whi...
