Re: Slow pokes and Draft Champion Leagues

I agree that's how things get better and that's what we all want hence the suggestion I brought up in my post which someone else brought up earlier as well. However the comments with good suggestions in this long thread get lost in the middle of people whining and acting like a 30 something round ti...

Re: Slow pokes and Draft Champion Leagues

My personal opinion is that there seems to be a lot of complaining to Greg, Tom and Darik when they're doing their best to create a great product. Obviously they have because everyone complaining on here shows how passionate they are, if the product wasn't great everyone would just stop talking and ...

Re: Live Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik

The one player who seems to be getting a lot of varying opinions about on Twitter and on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio is Rhys Hoskins. He's a player I'm struggling to get a firm grip on as well. Through 107 completed NFBC drafts, his ADP is 48, but he has a range of being drafted anywhere from 31 ...

Re: Live Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik

Last year Syndergaard was the 4th pitcher off the board with an ADP of 17.68 but in the main even his ADP was about 15.4. This year Kluber is the 4th pitcher and has an ADP of 13.51. Do you think it's the rest of the drafters catching up to the way people have been drafting in the main event or do y...

Re: Interesting Article-Lack of FA Movement

Besides everything that's already been discussed elsewhere (luxury tax, players being greedy and a history of bad free agents contract), I think part of the problem is the salaries before a player reaches free agency. If you look at the NHL, players have a 3 year rookie contract which for the best p...

Re: How About A $100,000 Grand Prize In The NFBC Cutline?

I never played this contest but no FAAB would make it very interesting, much more popular and much easier to market in my opinion. One other possibility would be to draft 38 players and have 2 faab periods with rosters expanding to 42 and then 46 but no dropping of players. This means that all you h...

Re: How Can We Make Draft Champions Better & Faster?

I love the overnight pause feature but I think you have to bring it down to 4 hours to keep it fun. Otherwise it technically means someone could say make pick #14 at 11PM, log off, the other owner would make picks #15 and #16 back to back and then the other owner could take until about 3PM to make p...

The reason I love fantasy baseball

I played fantasy football for about 15 years until finally getting involved in fantasy baseball this year and signing up for a couple of main event teams. I did some quick match yesterday and realized that if I'd drafted Aaron Judge instead of Jason Heyward in the 19th round, my team would have roug...

Re: Pitching Changes

Most agree that Wins are a pretty useless stat. I think the one change that could be made is a player who gets a BS cannot get the W. The W would go to the pitcher of record before the BS. Simple change that would take away some of the silliness of the stat. I know it won't happen because it's the M...

Re: Pitching Changes

With 3 starters hurt and guys like Chacin and Perdomo as the best Free Agents, I'm starting Brad Hand, Will Harris, Tommy Kahnle, Blake Parker, Trevor Rosenthal, Aroldis Chapman and Craig Kimbrel this week. It's obviously not like this every week but like you said it can be done and I think there's ...

Re: Pitching Changes

It's my first year playing Fantasy Baseball, I signed up for a couple of Main Event teams. I have a ton of experience playing other fantasy sports so I thought I'd throw in the opinion from a baseball newbie. 1. I don't understand the complaints about starting pitching. Yes pitching is changing and ...
