He is listed as 1B/3B/CI in the draft room. Everyone is listed correctly in the draft room. Unfortunately, he shows up as 2B on the post-draft results and I believe on the draft board. It's probably going to stay that way for now. Sorry. Yeah, going forward maybe I'll remember to manually change this on these posted results.

I'd be willing to bet that the team that wen 6 SP took guys like Jemille Weeks, Dee Gordon, Coco Crisp, etc. The punting HR/RBI strategy has become a popular win in Top 3 finish slow drafts.

On an unrelated note, if the Mets started their 3 highest paid OFs this year, LF would be manned by Bobby Bonilla.

He did

Yet another reason these types of pay outs are really ridiculous. There is no incentive to win the league, just place.

Will probably steer clear of these types of slow drafts next year.

I think Hosmer is a future star, but am shocked at the gap between him and Konerko. On the two drafts released today, Hosmer went at 41 and 45, while Konerko went at 77 and 84. Even if you think Hosmer will be better this year, Konerko's value looks much better to me.

I see that Miguel Cabrera went No. 1 in 2 of the last 3 NFBC drafts since Prince's signing. The prospect of Miggy getting eligibility at the black hole of 3rd base is too good to be true for some early drafters.
I also see Ryan Braun steadily staying in the Second Round since Dan Patrick predicted last week that he would be exonerated from his 50-game suspension. In the last 4 NFBC drafts he's gone: 26th, 27th, 23rd and 27th.
I see there seems to be a little more trepidation towards Hanley Ramirez in recent drafts: 18th and 22nd in 2 of the last 3 NFBC pay drafts.
I'm also digging deeper on some of the injured players from 2011 and where they are going now in NFBC drafts. I love the player notes during this time of the year as everyone is "ahead of schedule" and "should be ready by Opening Day." But NFBC owners aren't buying that hype for all of these guys, especially Ryan Howard, Joe Mauer, Carl Crawford and Justin Morneau. I'll have more numbers in this week's NFBC column, but don't listen to all the hype. These guys were injured and in some cases still are injured and more honest news is resulting in reduced values for some of them. Stay tuned for that info.

And since that announcement he has gone 32nd, 38th and 40th in pay NFBC drafts. He is definitely one player on my list who I will talk about in my column. Heck, I took him 29th in the FSTA Draft two weeks ago in Las Vegas before the wrist injury was revealed. There's no way I would have taken him at that point if I knew about the injury. I would have taken Victor Martinez instead!! Seriously. Glad I didn't go that route.

Has anyone done any cumulative ADP for all these results together? I saw someone did early on, but there's been another 3 pages of results since then... just wondering, cuz MDC's ADP stats are useless for NFBC..

If you are in an NFBC league they appear - once in your league, look for STATS on your green toolbar and it will be at the bottom of that sublist
