Re: $5,000 Draft Champions League To Debut In 2017

Greg/Tom....
Looks like not enough interest to get this finished?
If so, any plans for a different/higher price point dc but lower than this(e.g., $1000, $2500?)
Trying to plan

Thanks!

Re: Whose next to get banned from baseball for PED use?

How can Big Papi not be in the conversation? He's frickin 40 years old! He pulled a Konerko, that is declining for 2-3 years then suddenly gets good again. Maybe he's not in the next batch to be named but something ain't right

Re: Main Event Draft Orders Released On Monday

I have been in approx. 20-25 leagues over the past 7 years, I have been in the top 4 once, it was 4 years ago. In my four leagues this year, I pick 9, 11, 11, 15

Re: 14 Days Until Opening Day!! Let The Games Begin

I have gotten to spend some time with Pete Rose over the years, two quick stories...He asked me, "Why doesn't Columbus have a pro football team? Cause' then Cincinnati and Cleveland would want one too!" Also when I asked him to name the toughest pitcher he ever faced, he said "statistically, it was ...

Re: 13 Spots Left: NFBC $400 Draft Champions 2

Are the slow signups at the $400 level due to the change in league prize payouts? I haven't watched it from that perspective in the past but it seems they are slower than previous years. I will do a $400 in early March but I am not a fan of the league prize payout change Is there room for an even pa...

Re: $$ALERT$$ Maikel Franco - 3B Phillies

Scouts draw parallels to Kris Bryant in that he plays third base. Except he doesn't have the same power, obp, or batting average ;)

Re: Venting misery...

Another Khris Davis update(not to be confused with Jhonny Peralta)...Saturday, 3-3 with 2 runs, 3 rbi's. Today he will go 5-5 with 4 homers at which time I will re-insert him into my lineup and he will proceed to go 2-26 for the week with 13 k's.

Re: Crystal Ball for One Player

For me it's Alex Guerrero. Left alone to play I believe he's a 25 homer .300 hitter. Not sure what he has done to Mattingly(does he have a daughter?) but he is stuck behind uribe and a suddenly good Justin Turner(wtf?). If he isn't going to get regular ab I would love to know right now, like today!!

Re: What are they thinking?

I agree that Nolan Ryan should be on the list. Fwiw I met Pete Rose 5-6 years ago, got to spend 30 mins with him uninterrupted. I said, "you played with the best catcher ever(Bench), and the best second baseman ever(Morgan), who was better? He said, "the best player I ever played with was neither. I...

Re: Hitting videos/tools for young kids

I bought the middle version about a month ago, my son will be nine soon. It is perfect for him size-wise. I am 6'3", it actually isn't too small for me, so my guess is he can use it for several years before he outgrows it. I don't have any idea on the ball usage question, we haven't had it long enou...

Re: Hitting videos/tools for young kids

Buy the team a junior size speed hitter bat. Best hitting aid ever aside from a plain old batting tee. Speedhiiter.com
It's about $80. If they can work this thing correctly that at this age is about as good as it gets. You can go on YouTube as well there are a few videos for it

Re: Player of the week: 80's/ 90's scrub

My recollection of Esasky is he had vertigo and it affected his play. I don't remember if it was a long term thing, though I beleive it was. The other thing that affected his career was the 4 foot hole in his swing!!
