NFBC Message Boards

Okay everyone, all NFBC members can now view the draft results of every NFBC main event league and view the Average Draft Positions now. According to STATS, the draft results for all 2006 leagues are now available to users online under "draft results."



We also made a "draft stats" link available that shows the average draft position, etc. for all players that all users in main event leagues can view. This isn't available for any auction leagues since there really isn't a draft position. I'll work to get the dollar values entered for the auction leagues at a later date, but this is a good start for now.

Works great Greg.

YOU DA MAN!

YOU DA MAN! Thank STATS for that one. I love this information!!!

The "my pick" and "difference columns" are great. I see that my best value pick was Biggio at 53.56 later than average. My worst pick, Brady Clark at 58.16 earlier than average. Of course best and worst are all relative.



Anyone with a + or - better than mine?

Anyone with a + or - better than mine? I'm the proud owner of a +59.36 for Joey Gathright



While I'm not so proud of my -43.80 for Ray Durham (Ray Durham!?!?!?!)



Overall, I have a +104.98

My total difference: +190. Now, is this fun stuff or what? Hopefully these nuggets of information will tie us all over until Opening Night!! I don't know about you folks, but I'm ready for some baseball.

I actually have a negative number but almost all of the negatives are huge and in rounds 23 and after not that worried about that.

I think the overall +/- might not be a good guage, as I think alot of teams may have gone for their favorite prospect in round 25, and received a -50 for their efforts.



The more noteworthy numbers probably can be seen within the first 10 rounds. Anything +20 in the first 10 rounds can probably be described as a "good pick", for whatever thats worth.

Greg,



I also like the way you can drill down the ADP by postion. Very nice. Yeah, this should keep me amused until opening day.

M.Giles at 57 when avg was 49.48 looks like "good pick" to me.



Looks like the NFBC will be suprised when A.Gonzalez comes to Boston and posts big numbers. No love for him in the draft suprised me for the starting shortstop on the Boston RedSox!!!! Lots of Run opps.

Thank you STATS!! After spending the week moving into my new house and getting bludgeoned by the oral surgeon this morning, I was all set to begin my ADP stats for 2006. Now, I guess I can get busy unpacking...



Oh yeah, My Draft Score is +730.10 -- I'd be curious if anyone surpasses that number.

Aren't the numbers skewed if the player wasn't chosen in all 25 drafts. The calculation should use at least pick 451 as the pick number and the calulation isn't doing that. My first 22 players went in all 25 drafts. Those are valid average draft positions. However, if in 1 draft Ronney Cedeno wasn't picked then his average is miscalulated at 355.42.

This just in on Alex Gonzalez you have to get on base before you can score runs.

Ok I love this!!!! THANKS GREG AND STATS!!!



Can anyone beat this? +456!!!! I had multiple +60s with a high of +76 of Luis A. Gonzalez. As for my worst, -27 for Shawn Chacon (who I personally feel is wildly underrated)

[ March 24, 2006, 05:51 PM: Message edited by: Spyhunter ]

ok, now that we have such a great feature, can we fix it ?



How come when you show Team it goes to real life teams? Shouldn't it show the league teams? Should the overall list show how everyone did? Or there be an option to see this?



Also, can this database be put against all teams? Why you ask? Well for Satellite snake drafts it is interesting to compare, but ALSO for Auction - If you put a TOTAL at the bottom, you could compare who got the smallest #s!!!!



Thanks again, and



Thanks in advance!!!

My Draft Score +456.22 If you think having a high score is great, you are mistaken. It means you drafted conservatively. You drafted players based on last year stats and this years draft position. When A player slips a couple of rounds, you saw it as an opportunity. When others might see it as downside in a player. The real winner will be the one who moved up players and got them right.



-As for your team, Rolen, Boone and G. Anderson are risks. I think Rolen should be alright, but the other two are on the down side.

-You are under a 110 in steals and that is giving H. Ramirez 30. You could have more if you play Burke, but he will hurt you in HR and RBIs.

-Your catchers are well below par. Those two alone will cost you.

-Your pitching should be ok, but you won't league you league for sure.



[ March 24, 2006, 06:43 PM: Message edited by: CC's Desperados ]

CC I beg to differ. Your post makes NO sense. By getting a player LATER than everyone else did, it goes to show that I have gotten a better value. The rest of the leagues valued that player higher, but I was able to get them later. Seriously, I don't understand your point. How can you say I used last years stats????



Anyway, how exactly do I get to under 110 steals? I can count to 110 pretty reasonably. And I don't expect to get a 15 in steals. My (and RT Davis's) team is very balanced with lots of upside - and where there is risk, such as Boone, we mitigated it by getting players that were shown either in their 2nd half last year (aka Boone), or in spring training (aka Rolen) to be in pretty good health!!



So want to place a wager on who finishs higher?

Spy How much?

your first 9 picks add up to about +1.



After Rd 9-10 of any draft, each league takes on a life of it's own as teams fill their varying needs.



Your team isn't any better because you picked Robertson, Burke, LaRue, Eaton, Burnitz and others after some other guy in some other league that had different draft dyanmics.



This stuff doesn't mean much at all.



I suspect very good owners have a few minus' on guys they took a round early, yet expect them to perform 5 rounds better than where they picked them.

CC - how about $100? I will do this blind, w/o seeing your team - but please post it so I can see who I am facing off against....



UFS: Of course, the top 9-10 rounds are pretty much SET. If you can get a steal then awesome. However, the 10-23 rounds are critical IMHO - these are all most likely starters as well, AND RT and I got better valued middle picks.



As for the person who picked someone 5 rounds ahead because they have some monster insight, well, they should have waited 3 rounds and then gotten them, they over spent
