NFBC Message Boards

Replace wins with innings pitched and remove the IP minimum.

FYI -- I'll be making my SiriusXM debut as a co-host this Sunday, February 10 from 1-3 PM ET. Derek VanRiper or Jeff Erickson will be the lead host through March with me alongside, then we'll see what happens once the season begins.

Thanks Greg. Tom was instrumental in making this happen. Unfortunately, we'll be in a Suite on the 28th floor, but hope to be able to squeeze in a peanut gallery. I kinda doubt we're dealing with a room similar to the Bellagio suites. :lol: Once we know more, I'll post details for those wanting to s...

I've never been very good at this market thing so pardon the gratuitous plug.

Part of my subscription content is a Cutline Ranking Spreadsheet. Here's a demo how it works. Subscription info is in my signature.

Grabbed Corbin as my 1st pitcher in an OC. Great start to hitting but not sold on my pitching. What are your thoughts on Corbin? Can he anchor a staff? I prefer to look at the entirety of a staff as opposed to an anchor. He's about SP13 for me, so I suppose technically, yes, that's an anchor. I'm n...

Which rookie bat not named Vlad has the most impact?

Can I change my answer to Nick Senzel?

Assuming no Bryce in WAS in 2019, Soto in round 3, are you taking the plunge? in the right circumstance, yes. I think I already have at least once. Which Reds OF provides the most value vs their ADP, Winker, Puig, Kemp, or Schebler? As Greg is pointing out, Puig is getting the helium treatment. I'l...

So we had our 5th Rotowire Online Championship draft last night and you can now sort those 12-team ADPs separately at playnfbc.com/adp. So looking at those five drafts, Yasiel Puig's ADP is 71 in that format. Sorry, it's not a question, but this thread seemed like a good spot to share that info!! :...

Reynaldo Lopez really came on at the end of the season. Since he is basically free, is he on your acquire list? In the DC format, yes. The strikeouts will still be a little low, so I'd want to be able to pick and choose when to use him. They'll be ample opportunity facing KC and Detroit, especially...

So what are the Red Sox going to do in the late innings? Any chance Kimbrel goes back to Boston? You don't think Jenrry Mejia is the answer? At the right price, maybe Kimbrel comes back but I think they acquire their second half closer in July. Maybe they're waiting until after the Super Bowl to ta...

Who hit/allows more homers...JA or Ian Happ? J.A., not really close. Who is higher on the draft board in 2020, Aroldis or Matt Chapman? Aroldis, but I love Matt. This time last season, one of my going out on a limb predictions was in a battle of the Oakland Matts, Chapman > Olson. Who is higher on ...

Hi Todd, 1. Corbin in the 4th...BUYING OR SELLING? Selling. More late 5th, early 6th, which ain't happening. 2. % chance mondesi is demoted to minors prior to June 1st? I won't say zero, but I think at this point the answer is slim. if the question is %chance he's dropped in the order to 8th or 9th...

Todd... You are known for being a fellow from Numerville... When drafting, whether snake or auction, are there still times where you bid an extra dollar or draft a player with your gut, not from your research or Numerish? If my gut feels the player will play more than the market does, yes, all the ...

Hey Todd - good chat! Couple questions: What are some of the new things on your website that you are thinking are pretty cool / helpful? With respect to draft prep, the main addition is an increased focus on points leagues, including a rankings list customized to Cutline scoring. Everything else is...

** Give us some auction numbers. With the need for strikeouts, is the old fashioned $180-$80 split for hitting and pitching still doable in 15-team auctions? Or does it make more sense to spend $90 or more on pitching these days? What's the going rate these days for Trout and Scherzer? The NFBC has...

** We're also seeing speed flying off the board early. Jonathan Villar went 77th in this draft and his ADP has risen to 87 in the NFBC. With a target of 139 SBs this year, how are you handling speed in your drafts? As just explained, I've been focusing on hitting in the first four, maybe five round...

** In our AFL Speakers DC League, we are seeing those top Starting Pitchers flying off the board. Those Top 15 SPs went in the first 45 picks and 20 have gone in the first 61 picks. For the Main Event this year, are you diving in early to make sure you get 1-2 200+ K pitchers or are you looking to ...

** We both saw Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at the Arizona Fall League and we also saw his double in the Rising Stars Game that had an exit velocity of 117 mph. So let's talk in terms of fantasy value: Are you buying on Vlad this year and if so is it before or after his current ADP of 41? What projections...

Works for me!

I will take the other side of this one I guess. I think the number one thing is to get more people playing this game. The easier it is to see what contests are available, to see the signups, etc. - the better in my opinion. If having the contest signup info on the message board landing page helps i...

Would it be possible to set up a sub-forum for Sign up lists? Granted, there isn't much traffic, but for those following the baseball discussions, logging on and seeing a new topic, a reply to an old topic or the same last post tells us if there's anything new to check out. The "7 spots left..." bur...

Congrats Mark. Hoping Cindy comes out of hiding to attend the induction ceremony.

Best I can do...

Jason absolutely crushed it on the ESPN2 Nerdcast last night, calling the Statcast-oriented broadcast with Eduardo Perez and Mike Petriello. The whole crew was fantastic, Twitter resoundingly agrees. Hopefully the positive response will lead to more.
