I posted this comment elsewhere but I wanted to put it in this thread. I agree with Rog's comment about the lineup page. The first day that appears on the Friday though Sunday period should be Friday. It's Thursday right now. In future weeks, the entire week Monday through Sunday appears on the Frid...

Today is Friday March 30th. When you hit set lineup today, the first date showing is Thursday March 29th. On any given Friday, the first date showing should be the Friday. I see in future weeks, on Fridays, the whole week starting Monday still shows. The set lineup dates must keep advancing so that ...

I must be missing it. But I used to be able to see the lineups of other teams in my league. Is it still available?

A new piece of information that I haven't seen anyone mention is a great addition. Below your KDS preference after the order is chosen is something called "Choice Order'. In my league it says "12". I Had the seventh pick. I think that means I was the twelfth picked out of the hat so to speak. I thin...

Not a big deal but.... So in all the years I've drafted, I've never gone by my last name in the draft room. No team "smith" for me. But I don't change my team name until after the league is set up and the order of teams is picked. So when the league was set up, I changed my team name. I think I did ...

I am not good with converting lists to excel. Since you are calling in the calvary anyway, can you have the ADP list reconfigured so it prints out in 20 pages or less like previous years. Right now it prints out in 85 plus pages. Thanks.

Greg, My suggestion was solely for the cutline. I enjoy the FAAB aspect of the main event and similar leagues and wasn't suggesting any changes for those contests. Thanks.

I played the cutline the first year but not this year. I enjoyed it very much but the FAAB was too much for me. Yet it's hard not to replace injured players. While I haven't thought this through in depth, why can't FAAB perhaps be easier but different if the technology could be there. Now I realize ...

I have a methodical approach. I go through the free agent list on Saturday night meticulously. And enter my initial bids. On Sunday I fine tune the lists and redo the bids I did not notice Vogelbach added on Sunday and I need backup first basemen in two leagues. In one of those leagues he went for e...

I looked at the issue. In overall standings, top points in each category is 495 points, although there are 480 teams. That's why point totals in overall scoring is too high.

Each morning, shouldn't the overall live scoring points and overall standings points match? Right now the first place team in live overall scoring has 4177.5 points and in overall standings has 4327.5 points. Also, not all teams have the exact same placement under each. Check your team. What am I mi...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the lineup page needs to be changed. Greg there is no eight day period as you describe. There is a one day period on August 2nd followed by a seven day period. The computer allows you to set your lineup for the one day August 2nd Sunday and then change your lineu...

No this is not the all time NFBC money winners list. It is also not the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the NFBC. It is the twelve folks who want to be in the last available super draft on March 25. I have been in the super the last three years and never cashed. This may be your chance to easily wi...

Another vote for status quo.

Changing topics slightly. But for me one of the biggest changes or shockers this year it seems is the number of platoon players. It started early this year when Pedro Alvarez started to platoon. An early rotowire thread said he would be a full time DH when he signed and Trumbo would lose at bats. No...

Greg, thanks for your reply. My only concern in posting this message was that a short scoring period could have unusual results. I understand that it applies to everyone equally. Any alternative that also has a short period I don't think would be an improvement. In an earlier post this year, I raise...

First, I am a big fan of the cutline. But I am not sure the first scoring period should have been three days. Maybe it should have been ten days. I am just giving this as an example. Let's say my best starting pitchers in a cutline league are Syndergaard, Lester, Carlos Martinez, Arrieta and Salazar...

What I like to do is check my team stats for the period. On any given day, it will tell you who are your 14 highest scoring hitters and nine highest scoring pitchers. It will also give you their points. It will also tell you the pitchers and hitters who didn't make the cut. You can easily check that...

1. Average batting average in 2016 is .252; I think it's the lowest ever. Batters swinging with their eyes closed. All or nothing. Hitters paid for hitting home runs.

2. Fences brought in in Miami.

3. Jered Weaver still pitching.

The percentage owned for 15 team leagues, as of this morning, includes the draft championship leagues. So if you are wondering why the percentage owned for Schwarber is still 66.7 per cent, or Colabello is still 68 percent in your 15 team main, super or similar leagues, that's why. Just a heads up i...

Kudos Eric on an amazing performance. I know you won't respond. But I find it fascinating how you don't mind spending all your FAAB dollars so early. In my main with Eric, he won Gomez, the closer, and Mazara and has $44 dollars left. I respect how obviously dedicated you are to this game we play.

Thanks. The Santana news had been out for a few weeks and he just started playing again. The Braun news popped over the weekend so you're probably right. The combination probably caused some speculation. Just thought there may be a news source I'm missing.

Looks like Keon Broxton will be promoted today. Last week after no activity in him for weeks, seven main event teams picked him up. Was there a rumor last week. Just curious, anyone care to share?

Next year Main Event--Toronto Hilton.

Travis Shaw who was drafted in some main events after the 20th round was the steal of the draft IMHO.
