The backup backup C for the Rays is not on the FA list and has been playing for some time for the Rays. I wonder when he'll be added

Ike Davis, Justin Smoak....

Originally posted by Glenneration X: Is it me.... or are more closers killing people this year than in any recent year? It seems to me that every other day a closer is either getting hurt, losing his job, or getting rocked. I should have realized that closers would be my downfall this year when Kerr...

What do I think?



I think given 16 of the top 20 teams in the Overall are teams that drafted on Weekend 2 its going to be hard to get a Weekend 2 draft spot next year. Consider that proportionally: 315 of 435 participants drafted in Weekend 2.

I positively support the two weekend format. I live in NYC and was pleased to have two alternatives to participate in the main event this year. I could have made it to either AC or NYC (ultimately chose Citifield) but it's almost certain there would be times I or anyone here could not be available i...

Thank you. I guess I can't ask for more with a WHIP over 1.5. It's time to go get Doug Fister and Carlos Silva.

I am currently ranked 3rd in my league (NY League 5) yet in the overall standings I am 18 spots behind the team currently ranked 4th in my league. Assuming the standings are correct, my guess is I'm doing really bad in certain categories so I get a lot less points in the overall standings? How does ...

SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that Edinson Volquez has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Finally, the big reveal. Volquez is on the 60-day disabled list as he recovers from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to be healthy until well after the mid-July All...

Edwards, good luck with that Bush experiment. Tried something similar with his new buddy this past week: the 2-starter Doug Davis of the Milwaukee Brewers against the Cubbies and "the lowly" Natinals (you might have already discovered the hard way last nite as your pitcher got Cooked that the Natina...

I wonder what his price tag would be this Sunday...especially if he has a hot week. The Mets already said that they plan to play him every day

My guess is about a cool hundred FAAB dollars on average

As long as he's hitting like today, I won't care if he had only DH designation

Originally posted by BigHurt: The last pick is indeed 450. However, undrafted players are given an ADP of 451. I believe it is done this way to prevent largely undrafted players from appearing better than they are. For instance, if Mike Redmond is only taken in one league at #300, do you really want...

Originally posted by whipsaw: i love how a bunch of guys have adps over 450. Yes, puzzling. The last pick should be 450 if I'm not mistaken. If you really need to know ADPs, you can do it on your own if you have half an hour of free time and some basic knowledge of Excel. The draft results are avail...

Originally posted by whipsaw: Rev up the FAAB engines... Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston announced Wednesday that Kevin Gregg will serve as the team's closer "until further notice." Jason Frasor has blown two saves in five chances since being named the Jays' closer on Opening Day and currently owns a ...

Originally posted by Glenneration X: Sorry, live scoring is still confusing. On another thread I suggested highlighting or bolding the scoring categories that matter to this contest, might make it more user friendly.

Overall standings are a nice thing to look at, but the season is just underway and too early to make any kind of prediction. A few players haven't even scratched the surface of their potential. There are already some significant to key injuries among the top players (Rollins, Roberts) and everyone i...

Let me start by thanking Gregg and Tom for their great work during this week full of problems. We all know this start hasn't been easy for anyone, but the NFBC gang has done a great job handling the tsunami of issues thrown at them from day one. I apologize in advance for overstressing this or stati...

It makes sense and has been requested by a few people here. We would think it'd be simple but nothing seems easy for this tech team.

Hopefully they will find time to address this after other priorities.

Nice breakout Glenn, although I already explained to you passing on AP for Arod.

One minor correction though, your #29 pick is the lousy LaRoche. Adam certainly wouldn't have dropped to 29th.

Just buy CBS Sportsline website and tech team and let Gregg and Tom run NFBC on that interface.

That would be amazing.
