Alexi Ramirez

Some folks have asked where Alexi Ramirez will qualify on Draft Day. We have him listed at second base because that's where he played in Cuba and he has a shot to start at second base with the White Sox. There is talk that they could move him to left field, but we will list him as 2B eligible on Dra...

NFBC Keeper Lge, Bidding for Slots

Doing it live on the message boards could allow non-members to jump in and influence what is going on with some of their comments. Secondly, it looks like it could be near impossible to g...

Okay, here's another example of KDS from an upcoming NFBC Satellite League. This one was also interesting as nobody got a pick outside of their Top 10 KDS preferences. This time, three teams got their first preference and 12 of 15 owners got a preference in their top half. Only four of 15 teams -- l...
