NFBC Message Boards

Originally posted by cindy: For the life of me, I cannot believe how much information and advice people are willing to divulge on these boards. It's almost as if people want to be admired for their intelligence rather than win the money. Why in the world would you do all that work and then post it o...

Sounds like somebody got up on the wrong side of the rock.

I think the biggest problem could loom with your pitching staff. If Wainwright and/or Papelbon close it'll make for a long year, especially with J Johnson on the shelf.

Originally posted by Big Dog: He will be lucky to have an e.r.a in the low 4's. I say high 4's to low 5's barely making him a top 40 let alone top 20. Believe me, if I'm wrong about him and he goes out and has a superb year I will certainly come back on these boards and proclaim that I'm an idiot (w...

What are Piazza and Jenkins doing on this team? Most of this squad will get carded at their local pub.

I think the couple of owners who didn't have DMats in the Top 25 should post their lists and defend leaving him off - absurd It shouldn't have to be defended. The first 18 are aces or as sure as a sure thing pitcher is going to get. After that it gets Daise.

And concise .

I thought it was a great team when I saw your draft before the season started.

A solid foundation and theory but it falls apart with pitchers not meeting your expectations. I wouldn't change anything in regards to strategy.

First, give yourself credit for landing Shields, Hudson, Matthews Jr, Durham, and Padilla with your last 10 picks. Five players playing above a level expected in the last 10 picks is great drafting. Coincidence or not, Shandler missed with the same players that didn't come through for you last year,...

Originally posted by Mudster: HOLY COW!!!! Who are the Cubbies? It's about time that Baker is sent packing and the addition of Sweet Lou will give this team the skipper to lead them to the promise land. Mark Prior is key to this teams success. If he comes out and stays healthy, he and Zambrano will ...

Where are NFBC player ratings? Brian, hit Stats on your team page, scroll to player ratings.

The Pirates have said that they will hit Sanchez, LaRoche, and Bay at 3,4, and 5 in their lineup. Two questions come to mind. Do they know what they have in Jason Bay? And What dirt does Jack Wilson have on Pirate Mangement?

Crisp for Gonzalez?

Todd, Some questions. 1. Is it true that this year you have selected Santana with the first pick of a draft (non NFBC), while bypassing Santana with the 9th pick of the Shawn Childs League and picking Cabrera? If so, was it the different leagues or rules behind the thought process? 2. I think Shandl...

Money spent as well as money earned would also be interesting.

That brought back schooltime memories of trying to make a 300 word essay into a 500 word essay.
