Lohse will need to turn into 2005 Garland and

Lamb will need to transform into 2005 Ensberg.

I was worried that I overspent by paying $37 for Lohse.

I think that the most ambitious acquisition was Bronson Arroyo at $357 in Tampa 3.

This is definitely a reason to add BBDS for draft slots-----NOT! Because FAAB is just so fair, reasonable, and consistent...

Is your goal in drafting to create an even playing field for yourself or another area where if you were any good you could possibly gain an advantage?

You are simply scratching a clawing for any advantage you can get...good for you...not good for the game as a whole.

GOD Loves You · Post by **GOD Loves You** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 1:37 pm

Gordon, what do you think the #1 reason is for people being against BBDS? And was a vote ever taken for the NFBC as it was for the NFFC?

For some reason, at first I was against it, but the more I thought, it makes so much sense, especially when you make your valid points in favor of it.

So again, what has been the #1 hindrance to getting this thing going? I know some people have said it will scare away newbies, but I had never experienced FAAB and I still signed up for the NFFC.

BTW, this is a serious inquiry

Sometimes I write what looks controlled and true to my feelings at the time...then I wake up and feel embarrased that I offended someone...my intentions are to speak my mind...but not to offend.

Chest...that's brutal (3 in 330) but is there a way to make it a live auction bidding?...I know already...too time consuming...too many people, etc...so blind bidding is the only way to do that route. (Bidding).

I'm anti BB for draft slots due to the extreme variance league to league...putting many team owners at a big disadvantage toward winning the $100,000.00 by either having a bad draft slot (are there bad slots?)...or being broke to a degree.

Is the real problem league size? Why is there such a revolt toward random draft selection...the answer must be the built in advantage of the early selections due to the league size (15 teams)...could you say for certain (varies year to year) if a 10 team or 8 team league would be the most fair?

I see no problem with random draw...but there may be a problem with 15 team leagues.

...and congrats to you Double G...you almost nailed my drink...it's Jim Beam and Coke tonight...well...now it's tequilla and OJ...can only take so much Coke.

(Please remember I'm most always smiling when I type posts...even the ones that appear mean spirited)

WOW...drunk idea #2456...

Someday in the future...we can have bidding (not blind) live every Sunday for free agents...those that cannot attend can put in their blind bid and hope it holds up!

sportsbettingman · Post by **sportsbettingman** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 6:52 pm

I can see the argument you make...but feel that your serpentine draft position...and free agent pick ups during the season are not the same thing...not even close.

~Lance that is where we differ. draft slots and free agents are resources that need to be allocated

Captain/Coke & Jim Beam/Coke & Tequilla/OJ are drinks that need to be consumed

sorry lance - i tried to put it in terms (booze) you might understand
