Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: quote:Originally posted by Raiders: First question: Is Cust considered a minor leaguer? Second question: If so, since he played more than 20 games in the outfield in 2006 for his minor league team, why are you considering his few at bats in the majors? position eli...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: If you don't count pinch hitting as a position, why didn't fielder qualify at 1B in 2006? As you stated, he had more games played as a 1B than a DH. Thanks. You are correct. According to the letter of the rule, he would qualify at first base and as you know he qual...

Again, I'll start a new thread to set the facts straight on Mark Reynolds' position eligibility in the NFBC. He was only SS eligible in free agency last night and NFBC owners bid accordingly. He will continue to have only SS eligibility in the NFBC until he plays 10 games at another position. Here's...

I've started a new thread here to discuss the Jack Cust situation so that we can get the facts straight. Cust will remain OF eligible in all NFBC leagues as his designation stated when he was picked up via free agency two weeks ago. According to our rules: "Minor-leaguers who did not play 20 games a...

As GG knows, I'm stuck in a Chicago airport today, but my Blackberry is humming with e-mails about Cust's eligibility. I made the decision with stats to allow him to have outfield eligibility as we followed the eligibility rules. The only poaition he played last year in the majors was outfield. When...

Thanks to the owners who suggested this idea and thanks again to STATS for implementing this. We've had a couple of good additions to the NFBC site this year and this is another one of 'em. Thanks everyone.

Originally posted by unlucky: What does the "2nd option if you're interested" mean for the $100 satellite leagues? If who is interested? Is it voted on by the league participants? $100 Satellite Leagues: 1st Place: Winner take all for a 2008 NFBC free entry $100 Satellite Leagues (2nd option if you'...

Originally posted by adaboy27: Thanks Tom, no worries What I did notice is that once you select a replacement for a player that is placed on the DL, you cannot change out that new player I had initially replaced Wilkerson with Erstad, then tried to swap out Erstad for Brendan Harris, but was unable ...

Originally posted by Less than Dave:

what are the prizes for these games? Are they listed anywhere? Same prizes as the NFBC Satellite Leagues. Just click on the Prizes link and you'll get a list of the $250, $500 and $1,000 payouts.

Originally posted by Sack: Love the idea of the All Star Angle, but don't think you'll see me pony up that kind of money for a league that needs 12 months to play out. If the focus was on an NFBC get together and play those type of leagues as a 12 week Satellite angle, I would be VERY interested. Gr...

Greg, put me down for the $1000 mid-season. Thanks Shawn Will do as soon as the signup page is ready. Thanks Shawn and good luck the rest of the way in the regular season contests.

What times are the leagues set to draft at? Good question. We'll host those at 7 p.m. EST, but I'll push one of the $100 winner-take-all leagues to 9 p.m. EST for the West Coast folks. Let's do that one on Monday.

For the third straight year, we'll offer NFBC Mid-Season Leagues for those folks who can't get enough of this season and for those folks who want to start the season over!! :D The drafts will be held online during the All-Star break and we'll offer three separate events per day. All of the online dr...

Originally posted by unlucky: If not, I would think there would be a huge demand for such an offering. It gives a second chance to draft again and start the season fresh. Yes, we do offer $100, $250, $500 and $1,000 mid-season leagues with drafts during the All-Star break on Monday, Tuesday and Wedn...

Originally posted by Big Fish: big time bummer. especially b/c owens was my only source of some saves....ouch. i am not sure what time owens went on dl but damn it would have been nice to at least replace him. any word from Greg or Tom on this one? Probably no need as our insightful friend Glenn gav...

Originally posted by Team Herron: Well, considering I am the Jesse Herron in the email and I am a player in the NFBC - one could argue it is somewhat relevant. Greg and I have a great relationship and we will be finding ways to allow the WCOFF and the NFFC to work together. Perhaps you will even see...

Originally posted by Sack: Don't think it qualifies as ROY didn't make the cut by Friday morning. Question: Have we played any games yet today? NO Yet, another player not allowed to be changed. Which in this case, seems fair. Why? Read below. DEVILS ADVOCATE: Now, had this been yesterday DOC owners ...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Will do, Dan! I love the free beer idea! Should I just send you the check now for our league! (Never...never...never give up!) I'm hoping to claw my way into 6th or better to "wash" with John (UFS). We'll see...long season. Some may give up on our league in Aug...

Originally posted by duggan: greg, you have a good format, injuries happen, that is why having a balanced bench is important. that is why drafting players with multiple positions is important. these guys need to quit whining and play by the stated rules. I won't disagree, but all these injuries have...

I have asked STATS to look into the starting lineup deadline for Monday's, allowing you to set starting status for those players in early games and a later deadline for all teams playing Monday night or Tuesday. The deadline would be five minutes before the first Monday night game for all players no...

Originally posted by SluggoJD: No Steve, the stats at the end of last night were up-to-date, and it wasn't until later that they were screwed up. John, STATS looked at your team and all was correct yesterday. The live standings and standings at the end of Monday night were incorrect, thus you saw a ...

STATS has confirmed that players on the bereavement list do not go on an MLB DL list. Cordero will remain active in the NFBC this week.

Originally posted by freddiezee: I noticed that Chad Cordero is on the bereavement list. If he is still on that list on Friday, will it work the same as the DL, where we can get him out of our lineups for the weekend? I think MLB counts it the same, where teams can call up players in their place. Ju...
