NFBC Message Boards

Just a dumb comment.

dumb = paying $1,300 for locking in your lineup for a full week no matter what. played that way before and will never go back. that's a "slacker" game.

Originally posted by Navel Lint: First, I didn’t write the poll, I’m just referencing it. Second, the topic of the DL rule had been talked about for days thru several threads before Greg posted the survey. I don’t really want to go back and read all the pages, but if my memory is correct ( and if it...

For the record, I would NOT play in a league that had:

1. Daily moves

or

2. Set your lineup once a week (with no DL rule)

Originally posted by Navel Lint: Actually, there was a survey taken earlier in the year when many more people were on the boards discussing this issue. 60% of the voters wanted the current DL rule or NO Roster moves at all during the week. Only 95 people voted, but that is a large number compared to...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: The more you "put the game into the hands of the players" by making the game too tedious to be competitive in (and thus enjoy)...the more your target audience shrinks. No money won, but still fun = lots of people play. No money won and not fun = less people pla...

Originally posted by Sebadiah23: When your player hits a homerun while mine strikes out, I could use the same logic and say it isn't fair. But I don't, because I can't control outcomes. I can only slant the likehood of success in my favor. Fantasy games are fair. Everyone has an equal chance to win ...

Originally posted by Sebadiah23:

Given that, how can a twice a week change league possibly have more strategy than a weekly change league?

so that means we should set lineups once a month. would that be more strategy using your thinking.



of course not.

walla - no one knows what you are even babbling about.

rule changes...



allow Friday switches for hitters.

allow Friday switches for DL pitchers (who haven't pitched earlier in the week).

Originally posted by Spyhunter: This was the issue that bothered me, when I saw not just Joba but Napoli at #1 catcher... It really hurt Shandler's credibility with me and frankly, it wasn't high to begin with. SPY - I don't believe Shandler actually does the projections. Unless I misread BBHQ reply...

yes c.davis and furcal were other outlier projections.

How much would we have been talking about this years forecaster had JOE BLANTON been ranked 33rd?



Never underestimate press...good or bad. fixed!

and sorry for anyone who has a player that is "hurt" in Sept. i have them too. it sux, but it's way better than the alternative.

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: No, we do not have the September DL rule in place this year nor did we have it in place last year. It was done in 2007 and contrary to what Gekko says it worked to perfection. i'm not saying it didn't work, what i'm saying is that i had to scrutinize every web si...

Originally posted by rmurph3: That's not to say the projection was without caveats. One of the features that the Forecaster and BaseballHQ provide in addition to raw projections is Reliability Grades. For "Playing Time and Experience", Chamberlain got a "D" grade. So, if you were comparing him to Sa...

no, the Sept rule isn't in effect. it was HORRIBLE. it turned every participant into an attorney looking for just one snipet of info saying the guy is out for the year.



good decision to DL the Sept DL rule
