1B - Mark Teixeira - Consistantly a 2nd round pick, YES, he gives you superior HR and RBI numbers, but his batting average has been declining rapidly, and would much rather wait on a guy like Paul Konerko in the 5th or 6th round that gives you 30-100-.300. I would take Teixeira in the 2nd rd over "o...

Pretty disappointing there is no one available to answer this issue all day...how long as NFBC been doing this anyway? I thought quite efew years, can't beleive there are these types of scoring issues still happening. Not that big a deal as I'm sure it will be addressed/corrected eventually, just di...

You "say" or "hope"?

Even with 30 hrs, Pujols probably wouldn't even crack the top 10-15...not good for an early first rounder.

I'll take wagers that he won't even be drafted in the first round next year!

Been scoreboard watching lately, and I see Pujols flied out to deep left, Pujols doubles off the wall to right-field, Pujols flies out to deep left, Pujols doubles off right-field wall, etc...I have him in two leagues and his lack of power is killing me. Perhaps he signed his huge contract, got off ...

Jon Lester blows and is a #2 at best, sucks I drafted him as a #1.

Any opinion on which one you'd rather have moving forward? Garza's looked pretty good but Shields is on a better team and should end up with more wins...although, Garza may get traded to a contender before the trade deadline.

I hated Pujols this year, but still ended up with him in two of my leagues!!! The way the drafts unfolded, I couldn't pass him up...I just need him to have one more Pujols year, than I'm done with him.

At least he knows he can hit...anytime he wants to start would be fine by me!

I posted after his first start he had nothing, and now this debacle...going to be a tough decision next with him getting 2-starts!

Looks like it's working now.

The satellite league I'm in seems to work fine, just the slow drafts...so probably not a browers issue for me (I'm using IE8).

Would that stink if we have to continually check the stats for our Slow Drafts!!

Position players don't appear to be updating in Slow Draft League 20, although the pitching seems to be updating.

That was supposed to say "...your bench" LOL

started him in one and sat him in another. Still trying to answer the age old fantasy question..which is worse-a bad start in your active lineup or a good start on your bench? Well, let me answer your stupid "age old fantasy question"...take the good start on our bench over the bad start in your ac...

Who needs Sean Marshall when you have Kerry Wood and Carlos Marmol? And who did Theo Hendry, I mean Epstein, get in return? Minor leaguer Travis Wood!!

Same old Flubs, doesn't matter who's in charge.

I have Garza in only one league, but I really hope they trade him to a contender soon!

...I know it's "extremely" early (ya think? LOL), but glad I "only" have him in one league...I tried to get him in more!!

Lohse could be on track for 32 wins!

Glad you liked my post, Lugnuts. Nevertheless, you made may point as to why we need some kind of time bank and we cannot simply rely on etiquette to make these work. There is such a disparity between your point of view and the comments I have seen from others who I have drafted with. Some people be...

Wow, this could quite possibly be the dumbest and most useless post I've read in a long time...I would suggest you stay away from "slow drafts" in the future and focus on fast drafts!

The goal of "slow drafts" is not "And the draft is guaranteed to end within 15 days."

I should mention the "constant e-mail notifications" were from a particular league member, not from NFBC!

2. What can be done to improve the process? Well, first of all it's not changing the time allowed. 8 hours allows folks to sleep at night. If we shorten it to 6 hours or 4 hours or whatever, it makes it a burden to be in these leagues. The only item I'd add to this is, turn the draft timer off from...

Sooooo, no pictures of me with a check for $1000 should I win my $150 Satellite League?

10,000/5,000/3,000/1,000/500/500/250/250/250/250

Have to keep it all in perspective, lest it end up like Lotto....too many teams soon becomes daunting in terms of finishing number 1, at least from an odds perspective and that could cause some to look elsewhere or spend less. Where else you gonna look where $150 can get you $10,000+? Not many fant...
