NFBC Message Boards

I just hope we can get through this week and things start to calm down. We're getting all the test results at the same time so it probably looks worse than it is. At this point, the opt outs are what really scares me for the season because I think (or hope?) the news about positive tests will slow d...

Sounds goos, thanks Greg

I don't know if this was adressed but will the players on the 60 man taxi squad but not included on the opening day 30-man rosters be treated as minor leaguers have been in past years? Not eligible for FAAB until they're added to the active roster unless they were drafted and then dropped?

I have 6 or 7 people interested so far, the Saturday or Sunday night on that first week-end seem to be the most popular. If anyone else is interested, let me know if you have a preference between those 2 dates.

I love the format Greg, I'm definitely getting the Grand Slam package and will do my best to promote it as much as I can.

To be fair, National League teams are like us. When building their teams early in the season, they had no clue we'd be playing with a DH. In that way, we're truly all in the same boat. :D By the same token, it may help NL pitchers in other ways. They will not be pulled for a pinch hitter when throw...

And, with all due respect, if Trout or Snell or any other top of the line guys choose not to play, so what? We're in a different world for this season, and we need to adapt accordingly. Adjust your lineups. Use the FAAB. We all agree that no draft is won in the first round. Otherwise it's not a gam...

"AND COMING AROUND THE CORNER IS GRAND SLAM PACKAGE. GRAND SLAM PACKAGE BY 12 LENGTHS. NOW 14 LENGTHS. GRAND SLAM PACKAGE IS LOOKING LIKE SECRETARIAT NOW..BY 33 LENGTHS!!!" Sorry, it's been a long day. :lol: Keep the feedback coming. $100,000 grand prize sure sounds good. No overlay boys, no overla...

Yeah keep it 6 figures, I'll get 4 teams as well at $1200. I think you can bring the number of teams down to 480 to limit your risk a little, still offer the 100k grand prize. Less money for people who finish in the top 10 overall but you can just add to that if you fill more leagues.

Advantage over your opponents? Please. I was in one of those drafts with you & your team stinks; not sure from where the arrogance comes, but you may want to check yourself, pal. I do however agree with you that the $1000k DC leagues should be cancelled but I'm fine rolling with my team either way,...

I signed up for 2 $1000 DC's knowing that over a 162 games season I have an edge over my competitors. For a 60 games season that edge is cut in more than half. Add to that the NL DH which completely changes the value of all pitchers considerably and all hitters to a lesser degree. I have no problem...

The owners have to get the players' approval for expanded playoffs and that's probably worth 500 million over the next 2 years. So if they want that they have to get the players to sign on it. They should have made that offer a month ago but I don't think they're ready to give up that money. I gues...

Great move from the union. This might actually give us a 70 games season. I could completely be in left field here but let see. If MLB wants to start the season mid July. There is 11 weeks up to Sept 27. If they wish to play let say 55 games, that would be 5 games a week. How can MLB at this point ...

Report circulating that player will propose playing MORE than 82 games, with 100-110 being referenced. Woot woot! Hope no one has been sleeping on main event prep. This will be happening I like the 110-game proposal with the regular season going through October. Owners are worried about losing TV r...

I want baseball like anybody else. But I agree with the red flags. It is estimated that at least 10,000 people would have to be in this 'bubble'. The thought of that bubble not being infiltrated by the virus is a red flag of itself. And when it happens, it is Katie bar the door in how it spreads. W...

One big problem we are forgetting is owners will want players to take a significant pay cut due to lost revenue from gate,concessions, parking and 1/2 a season of Lost TV. This could be a deal breaker for both players and owners. It's either that or they don't get paid at all... The virus won't mag...

"Mike Trout said Wednesday on NBC Sports Network's "Lunch Talk Live" that he has reservations about MLB's reported plan to attempt to play the 2020 season entirely in Arizona. The plan was recently endorsed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disea...

The part I struggle with is that even if we wait until June and we're down to say 50 new cases a day, weren't we there like a month ago? Even if we wait until July and we're down to 0 cases, in January we didn't have any cases and it made its way here... Here in Quebec the government is very transpa...

It is completely unrealistic to expect NFBC to cancel the hundreds of drafts that have been completed and refund our money. I daresay the vast majority of us don't want them in jeopardy of going out of business. And I, for one, have zero interest in redrafting my teams. And any number of teams get ...

The virus isn't going away, it is part of the world now just like other flu viruses. If the country waits until it is 100% eradicated we will all be dead from starvation. Likewise, if the economy shuts down until there is a vaccine - maybe next flu season - more people could die from the economic f...

I don’t think anyone has any idea when this will be over. Unless this virus is totally eliminated, I mean 100%, isn’t there a strong likelihood it stays around for a while? The virus isn't going away, it is part of the world now just like other flu viruses. If the country waits until it is 100% era...
