NFBC Message Boards

Tom,

1) Which player (projected to be a 1st round pick this year) will most likely disappoint owners?



2) Which player who hasn't hit 30 hrs in a year yet, will do so this year?



3) Who are you top 5 SP this year?



thanks.

A few more questions for the BIG T



1) Is the innings requirement 400 or 500 for 2006?



2) Are the position eligibility lists complete yet, and will they be emailed, posted or both?



3) Is the available draft population the 40 man rosters? if so as of what date?

Tom,



Hear anything about Clemens ? If and where he'll end up ?



Also, shouldnt the terms driveway and parkway be reversed ?



Q

Where does Prince Fielder qualify for 2006?

Save these questions for the actual chat this week and we'll have some fun -- well except for that whole driveway, parkway business because that's completely out of my jurisdiction.



As far as Fielder, he only counts at DH for the draft and auctions in our event.

1) It's 400 as stated in the rules (I hope).



2) Yes, they're in your Fantasy Sports Magazine under the Cheat Sheets that you should have in your hands by now. All NFBC members get subscriptions to our pub. We will likely e-mail a file to everyone before the draft, too.



3) The 40-man rosters available on Draft Day will also be e-mailed to everyone before the event. We'll likely take the lists as of March 8th or 9th and finalize it then. That should give everyone time enough to know who is available. Remember, we may make exceptions to that list, but those exceptions will be listed on the sheet we send out. Sheets will also be available at the draft if you have questions.

tom - don't forget about the questions in this thread. in addition, i'd like to add the following:



1. NL MVP?

2. AL MVP?

3. NL CY?

4. AL CY?

5. can we kick out zaleski from the magazine league since he's not signed up for the main event yet?



thanks.

Can we give GG the #1 pick in the Mag league?



He needs the handicap.

No. 5 is clearly a "Greg" question, Gordon.



As for the others I'll start a chat thread around 1 p.m. Central time today so bring 'em all there. I'll be ready.

IMO - for someone to be in the magazine league, they need to be in the main event. why give zaleski a break? many folks have already committed to put up their hard earned money in the main event that would LOVE to be in the magazine league and have their name in lights in a magazine.



kick out zaleski and give me the #1 pick. win/win situation. thanks.

Gordon- there we are picking back to back? Once or twice tomorrow night you will be like I cannot believe so in so is going to get all the way back to me only to be snatched one pick before.

kick out zaleski and give me the #1 pick. win/win situation. thanks. "Okay, our second issue of Fantasy Sports Magazine will hit newsstands on March 7th and once again we'd like to publish the results of a 15-team draft using NFBC guidelines and rules. I'm looking for 15 SERIOUS players who can meet online on Thursday, Jan. 26th at 7 p.m. EST and stay for 30 rounds. We'll play out the league and give the winner a $500 credit for the NFBC in 2007. Anyone interested in participating can post here or shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]."





I met the guidelines posted. Don't blow your #3 pick. I hear he has some back problems.

Sorry I initially left that out. Thanks Gordon.

-They are in the most recent Fantasy sports magazine...I beleive

3) Is the available draft population the 40 man rosters? if so as of what date? -My opinion is there will changes do to injury and player making a team during spring training. I think he would have to give us the list at the draft or even a week before.
