I am new to the NFBC and would like to know a general ballpark figure on what total would usually be good for a finish in the top 3 in all of the categories. Just trying to figure out what stats I need to obtain to have a balanced team. Any help would be great.

Every league is different, but here are some third place finishes in a league that would allow you to target either a little higher than that or lower than that. Again, these were third place totals from a league I just looked up from last year. Use these as your benchmarks and adjust accordingly:

.283 average

1,140 runs

289 homers

1,120 RBI

166 SBs

4.000 WHIP

100 wins

1.300

1,210 Ks

80 saves

Can you tell me what players to draft to achieve these targets? Thank You.

Thanks for the benchmarks Greg.

Not even Doug Davis could achieve a WHIP that high...Perhaps Ankiel when he used to pitch?
