NFBC Slow Draft Offerings For February

Post by DrDobs » Fri Feb 05, 2010 3:06 pm

I think this is a sign at just how popular these are. I did the slow draft champion leagues last year for the first time (were they even offered prior to that?) and couldn't emphasize enough to those that I knew that this is a fantastic format for the fantasy baseball addict to play in and particularly useful for NFBC Main Event players.



Screw those mock drafts, and ADP reports thinking you can use those as a good judge when it comes draft time. A format like this affords you real live draft experience against quality opponents while at the same time NOT taking much time during the season to manage.



Being a commissioner for several years now, the #1 complaint I hear from players out there is "Man, I wish I could do more leagues, but I just don't have the time" With no pickups/drops, trades, etc, you could manage 10 of these teams with nothing more than about 15-20 mins a week of prep time adjusting lineups.



Greg & Tom *may* even remember me discussing with them last year the possability of creating a draft champion main event type of league.



Anyhow, I know I'm preaching to the choir here... Appreciate the stomping post, just needed to get this off the chest and say "I knew it!!!"

Why doesn't Gekko do any of these slow drafts? Doesn't want to tip his hat and give away his real strategy?



Jon Jon - I've been in more than my fair share of slow drafts, though my name may have not been as visible as many would like ;)



right now, i'm in the middle of my pitcher projections. onc i get them done, i think i'll be ready for one more slow draft, maybe $250
[/QUOTE]Well, maybe it'll work out I can draft along side you in a league this year. I'm sure I'll catch a ton of hate mail from other members here when I say that it would be an honor to compete against you.
