NFBC Message Boards

Not knowing when the reserve draft will begin or when the league will be open for registration at NFBC, I've taken advantage of the FanDuel promotion and have established a $100 "store credit" which will cover most of the fee for my entry.

As I've mentioned already in the Affordable Auctions thread, I will be out of cell/internet range starting Monday for an indefinite period so I may not be able to complete my registration in a timely manner once the email comes. Hopefully we'll get at least 24 hours to pre-rank some players before the reserve draft begins.

Greg did say the FanDuel credit was valid for any contest, right?

ANY contest.

Cheers!

Funny guy!

The last thing I need is people whining if I'm the reason the reserve draft doesn't start because I haven't registered or if I'm on the clock for 60+ mins after complaining about delays in the slow drafts. It's just an FYI.

I, for one, am hoping the oil fields of North Dakota give you all the attention you deserve and you come back to these boards needing a little less.

I thought the regular DCs were sometimes too slow.

Now I'm suffering from Draftus Interruptus.

Greg says we're starting up the snake on Thursday gents.

I'm up first with a pretty easy pick. I'm hurting for pitching so unless there's a negative report or Mo Rivera announces his un-retirement...I'll be taking Diamondbacks LHP Wade Miley.

Go ahead, tell me how bad my team is.

That's an easy one, Prado will be used at 3b or OF.. Zobrist at SS. , one of them at UTIL, problem solved !

No problem here. When I take 3 SS or 4 catchers or 7 OF you can be sure some of them are multi position eligible so I'll never have to sit one in favor of another.

But people tease me for gimmicks where I'm trying to manufacture position scarcity yet I don't see the expert being ridiculed when he loads up on 2B/MI.

Wah, f-ing wah!

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way but you are a tool bag.

Tell me something everyone doesn't already know.
But first please explain how I'm an idiot when I run a gimmick strategy but no one bats an eye when someone else does it?

Let it go. You're like a dog with a bone!

U promote your gimmick

Todd doesn't

It's that simple. The team you put together is gonna take a bath

SuperComputer told you that? According to Alan G, DCs are won in rounds 30-40.
So there!

Your team has such bad roster construction, it won't matter who you select in those rounds. This year will be a learning experience for you IMO.

You sabotaged me!

You're one to talk. Big holes at both catcher slots as well as both your 1B picks. You'd better hope Kendrys plays before June because Yonder won't cut it.

Bingo Mark!!! And I'm always concerned about the Hermano's pitching staff. We have never had a staff that bad after a draft or auction. Lol

You might want to spend less time worried about another team's roster construction and make sure you know where you are drafting. All the other owners may have to take pitchers and really sabotage any chance of you having a decent pitching staff.

Not saying that they'll be my saviors but Santiago and Skaggs will be better than most people are expecting.

With the draft being in the 24th round and you have pick number 1 does that mean you get 2 picks at 24/15 and 25/1 and we start round 24 with team 15 and work our way back to 1(you)?

I did say that... but DC drafts can be lost in rounds 1-29, if you totally screw yourself... and you have accomplished that. But, you already know that and seem to enjoy it...

Roger, yes, that is my understanding at least. It seems that Deadheadz has the Team 1 slot. However, because we are starting with Round 24, I suspect that he has the last pick in Round 24 (just like Team 1 would have in a "normal" snake draft). My understanding is that Stan, with the Team 15 slot, will get the first snake draft pick when we start up again. Thus, whether Wade Miley will make his way to Deadheadz's roster remains to be seen.

If anyone thinks I'm wrong about this, please let me know. Thanks.
