Live Chat Today: 3 pm ET With Greg & Tom

Okay, good questions today. If you have any further questions just post them in this thread and we'll answer them when we can. I have to pick up some kids from school soon!!! Thanks.

Great questions on the new online draft software, DCs, Fanduel and MLB players. Just what we wanted. We should have our Las Vegas plans finalized soon and hopefully I'll have the names of the draft rooms next week. It's been a tough process this year in Las Vegas because two HUGE conventions are there at the same time. We have one day where we may have to scramble around for space and be creative, but the rest of the two weekends look great. We got very lucky this year.

The new HD projectors just arrived today as well. Improving that part of the live drafts is also very important and we're on it. Football went very smoothly and in fact the drafts in that sport end too quickly. I mean, those just flew, including the auctions. So we're excited about all of it. Now let's get all of our veterans back in the fold and blow these contests out of the water. Good luck.

With Rollins and Kendrick up the middle, wither thou goest Alex Guerrero or do the Dodgers basically eat another $7m while he resides in Oklahoma City?

Well, he has no role in Los Angeles, right? The Dodgers did everything they could to keep him out of a middle infield spot this year and maybe his ear-biting incident plus poor September showing had something to do with that. If he can't play third base, then the Dodgers either need to trade him or eat that $7 million in Triple-A again. The good news: He has only two more years after this with $14 million total owed.

They can't send him down to the minors this year without his consent. Since jealous washed up big leaguers tried to eat his face last time he was in the sticks, I'm betting he picks Los Angeles.

I know we've talked about the NFBC Cutline Championship in 2016, but I'm hopeful that we can debut a new contest before then. Our NFFC Post-Season Hold 'Em Contest is a very cool format with a progressive scoring system the longer your players advance through the playoffs. It's very unique and this year we will give $100,000 in prizes, including a $55,000 grand prize. It's a great way to enjoy the NFL Post-Season for our customers and a great way to keep them on the message boards and involved in our contest.

Well, we've never figured out a good MLB Post-Season contest, but I think I've come up with something that could be very cool. I'm going to write up some rules and bounce it off IT before finalizing things with you guys, but everyone seems committed to getting this one done for the 2015 MLB Post-Season. I think the progressive scoring format has some merit as we'll reward teams for getting through the Wild Card and first round of action, while really rewarding the players you have on the Divisional Championship teams and of course the World Series teams. With things so unpredictable in MLB playoffs, I think this could be a lot of fun.

These wouldn't be actual drafts; you'd build your roster from selecting different players from each team. You'd be limited to x amount of players from each team in the first round, and then a new x amount from each team in the Divisional Round and a new x amount from each team in the World Series. You will be rewarded by having the right hitters and the right pitchers on your initial roster who make it to the World Series (could be 3x their stats in that series). It's still a work in progress, but I'm working on it. Stay tuned.

Just thought I'd throw that one out there. We need a post-season contest here!!

Let's say he is the biggest jerk in baseball, but Everth Cabrera stole more than 80 bases in 2012 and 2013. How long until someone picks him up and who do you think takes the chance? Toronto, San Francisco, Tampa, or.....?

He's gone unsigned since San Diego cut bait on him and it looks like Toronto could take a chance on him, moving him to second base. That could be a speedy middle infield with Reyes and Cabrera!! He's not a bad flyer in Draft Champions Leagues. When looking for speed options, why not?

Because he is facing legal action and possible jail time so I doubt any MLB team wants that risk .... unless they could legally structure a contract that is voided with a conviction - maybe a minor league contract with spring training invite
