Okay, Tom and I are preparing for our first fantasy baseball issue and having fun looking at the 2006 statistics. With that in mind, we thought we'd individually forecast our 2007 NFBC first round picks and solicit thoughts from our top players. Here are our projections as of Sept. 27th and feel fre...

Originally posted by poopy tooth: Greg/Tom, Will there be any kind of draft champions leagues in baseball for 2007? I really like the format in football. Just an idea. The hard part about doing this for baseball is finding the optimal scoring lineup each week that is picked by the computer. In other...

I don't have an online company to do this with at this point. Who would do a playoff draft if I rounded something up? Let's take names and we'd have to draft on Monday night. Zaleski, do you run a post-season game?

We just signed a deal with the Tampa Convention Center in downtown Tampa for the 2006 NFBC drafts on March 16-18. We have a great setup in a great location and we're happy to return to Tampa for the second straight year. We have plenty of space reserved for the Saturday main event, so we're ready to...

I hear ya and I don't disagree at all.

Shawn, it's hard enough to fill auction leagues in each city without splitting them into minimum innings pitched leagues. Wouldn't it be easier to just go with 600 IP next year? That allows guys like Lollygaggers to still try his reliever strategy, but makes it tough since he needs to average more t...

Originally posted by The Lollygaggers: I had to fight Rick for money finishes each of my first two years in NFBC. I told him before the season I was switching to Chicago so I could finally get out of his league. He thought I was kidding. I've gotta give Rick Thomas more props: Heading into the final...

Originally posted by viper: I personally like the DL rule the way it currently exists. But is it really worth all the grief that it has caused to provide 3 days of relief? I wonder. Yes it is worth the effort if it makes the contest better. Once we finalized the deadline for when players had to be o...

Originally posted by bjoak: I assume that one-game playoffs will not affect the nfbc, but what if any make-up games are scheduled for Monday, October 2nd? Will they count? There would, of course, be no faab period next Sunday regardless, right? I remember the Yankees and D-Rays almost had a game the...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Ryan Freel DL. His replacement on my team if the rules worked. David Eckstein 3-4 1HR 1RBI 1R. So one more time lets review this. The rule was to give more control to the owners and help out those with a injured player. I had no control and no help with the injured ...

Who's in the foreground? Walla Walla? UFS? Q?

Originally posted by UFS: Let me add to make this more simple... Have stats do it the way it's done now, but ALSO give you the option to "hand DL" a player when the need arises. This way, only you or Tom need to check this Thursday night. That is possible, but it's important from my perspective to m...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: The luck factor is if you have a player that is out but doesn't get placed on the DL in time because the Team is slow to place him on it. Greg, Your saying no one has the time to do twice weekly changes. That was my argument. But than you turn around and say they ha...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Greg, Would not be better to allow all teams to change thier rosters on Friday? The problem with the DL rule is it doesn't allow a fair playing field. If this is a game of skill than you have to allow all teams to make the same moves. As it stands with the DL rule t...

Ken, some people say that adding Friday moves adds to the contest. Other people say it would destroy the contest as they don't want to have to make twice weekly moves. Some people say daily moves would add to the contest. Some say it would destroy it. The Friday DL rule was put into effect to help a...

Originally posted by The Lollygaggers: What's happening, Rick? Holy crap! Another incredible year for you. Congrats on the #2 OA ranking. :cool: Rick is having a great NFBC season and he's even on the NFFC leaderboard after two weeks. But don't congratulate him on anything for baseball just yet as h...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Ryan Freel is out for the year. Posted next to the player by Stats on 9/21/2006 2:41PM. Deadline for DL players was 12:00 that night. The club didn't place him on the DL by the deadline. This happened more than once this year. I didn't agree with the rule when it ca...

Originally posted by Spyhunter: I was looking at the threads around how NFBC rates people for their historical performance. And I was wondering - should people who have 2 managers get any historical ranking for their finishes? I think it is impossible to determine credit or blame for 2 manager teams...

Originally posted by The Lollygaggers: quote:Greg Ambrosius said: Eric, you of all people have proven that you can compete from any draft spot. Guys like you, Shawn Childs, Eddie Gillis, David DiDonata and others have proven through the years that you can compete from any spot. I understand your pas...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell:

Greg- what teams drafted from 15 and are doing well. I would love to try and learn something from what they did. Swedes Crush Meatballs drafted from there and they are fourth or fifth overall.

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: quote:Greg- I hated 15 mainly because of rounds 3 and 4. I thought it would be dry when we got there and it was IMO. I did my part by find quality at the end of the first round and second with Beltran and Utley because quality was there to choose from. Take a loo...

Originally posted by The Lollygaggers: UFS – I agree with you that owner skill is more important than draft position. My only argument is that draft position does matter. Here’s an experiment to test my hypothesis: Use ADP data from 1996-2005 to create four-player “teams” for each of the 15 draft sl...
