NFBC Message Boards

David DiDonato of Johnston, Rhode Island has won the $100,000 grand prize and the 2006 NFBC title, but a new year is upon us. Today we begin taking signups for all of our 2007 NFBC events, which will be held March 16-18, 2007 in Las Vegas, New York, Chicago and Tampa. This will be the official signu...

The last time I checked, Rhode Island did not have a Major League Baseball team. But it sure looks like it has some major league fantasy baseball players! Our 2006 NFBC champion, David DiDonato, resides in Johnston, Rhode Island. It's also interesting to note that two of our Ultimate League champion...

We're proud to announce that David DiDonato of Johnston, Rhode Island has won the 2006 National Fantasy Baseball Championship title, defeating 329 teams for the $100,000 grand prize. His "Vinnie's Team" scored 2,828.5 points in the overall contest, collecting 85.7 percent of the available points. Di...

Aaron, STATS did look at your team last week as you requested and Maddux's stats had been adjusted. You can contact me tomorrow if you still think there is an error, but we have checked your team thoroughly.

Great fight guys and glad to hear that Tampa 2 is so competitive. I see a new name in that league on the top again today, with the first place team yesterday dropping to third. We'll see what tomorrow -- or even Monday -- brings for you guys! Good luck.

Originally posted by Spyhunter: In case of a tie for first place, I assume those two teams would get 1/2 of the total prize money of 1st and 2nd place? Spy Correct. Last year we actually had a three-way tie for first place and split it up evenly. All ties share the prize money and I see that we curr...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: I assumed there would be BBDS on sat leagues too- reading that lead me to believe otherwise. Please clarify- If the interest is there for that, we'll add it. I don't have a specific date or dollar-amount league set up for BBDS at this point, so once the Message B...

I'll update this once the season is complete, but here is a look at our Top 30 right now in the overall contest and the number of participants who drafted in each spot: No. 1: 1 No. 2: 2 No. 3: 1 No. 4: 1 No. 5: 1 No. 6: 1 No. 7: 2 No. 8: 2 No. 9: 2 No. 10: 3 No. 11: 2 No. 12: 2 No. 13: 3 No. 14: 4 ...

I just sent this note out via e-mail to all 2006 NFBC owners, but I'll post it here as well for all potential newcomers: First of all, I want to wish everyone good luck during this final weekend of the NFBC season. We have 10 of the main events still decided by two points or less and several satelli...

Originally posted by Sack: Greg: While this sounds like a step in the write direction it also becomes dangerous in leaving this as somewhat arbitrary as to who is placed and who is not. Lets use Austin Kearns this year. The guy has the collison with Johnson and all reports are the guy is hurt physic...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Greg, Your final decision on this? No poll no nothing? Your buddy put up the idea and you rubber stamp it? What happened to the we'll review this after the season? Oh well good luck. John, I have reviewed the facts of this season and I see that many owners use the F...

After talking with STATS, it is possible next year to keep the DL rule in place as is with a 12:01 a.m. Friday deadline for players officially on MLB's DL list and to manually add players who obviously are headed to the DL. I would add these players to the list on Thursday night through STATS if it ...

Okay, I've changed my mind a little, which is sure to happen often between now and the time our first issue of Fantasy Sports Magazine goes to press: Greg's 2007 NFBC First Round Picks: 1. Albert Pujols 2. Alfonso Soriano 3. Jose Reyes 4. Carl Crawford 5. Alex Rodriguez 6. Ryan Howard 7. Vladimir Gu...

STATS has updated all of the leagues now. Sorry for the problems today and hopefully we won't have any more of these mild heart attacks you guys are talking about during the last four days of the NFBC season. Good luck everyone!

Damn, another call is into STATS. I apologize, but let's get these updated!

Originally posted by Top Dawg: Greg - Javits is fine, but as someone else mentioned the Meadowlands is a great alternative. Cheaper parking, hotels and just as easy to get to. I love the Atlantic City idea too. I did the "other" football draft there and had a great time. It's NOT Vegas, but it's fun...

"I need my stats!!!" Help me get my morning fix of stats! STATS re-ran everything again. It looks like the home page stats are updated. Are you guys fine yet?

Originally posted by Joe Sambito: Greg, I think the team that picked up Pedro is upset with you allowing it this morning. ;) Again, we took the criticism when it happened and we certainly could have removed Pedro from LV6 when the drop occurred. We just took a little more leniency with cuts this yea...

Wow, not a good time for this. Sorry guys.



I don't even drink coffee, but I feel your pain Bobby! We'll get the current stats run ASAP as we're calling STATS now. Hang tight.

I like it Rick. You have me convinced now that Crawford is Top 5, moving ahead of Howard. The thing that surprises me with Crawford is that he's 20+ runs behind all the other studs. Only 85 runs scored thus far this year, whereas Soriano is at 117 and A-Rod is at 108. Get him to cross home plate mor...

Originally posted by Quahogs: just a quick glance, I think Crawford should be in front of Vlad and Tom needs Howard in front of Ortiz (prob no manny in back of ortiz next year and the UTIL restrict. does hinder a bit). Q Yeah, I can see Crawford going top 4 or 5. Agreed on Ortiz. The bottom of the d...

Originally posted by RoundTrippers: i have been in favor of this idea as well. how about this, cumulative stats for every player in majors?? that way you dont have to worry about optimal stats per category. if you want to draft minor leaguers for the end of the year callups thats fine but you are ri...

Okay, Tom and I are preparing for our first fantasy baseball issue and having fun looking at the 2006 statistics. With that in mind, we thought we'd individually forecast our 2007 NFBC first round picks and solicit thoughts from our top players. Here are our projections as of Sept. 27th and feel fre...
