Cold Hard Look V Diamond League

Post by Schwks » Fri Aug 20, 2010 6:38 am

Youve heard of the Diamond League....lot of cash to enter, large pay out and large percentage payout. The two teams atop that league, both in the 108 point range, employed the reliever only strategy Team Ferrari and Diamond Dog...neither drafted more then 2-3 starters. Both drafted at least three closers on draft day.



How does this affect the NFBC going forward, if the winner is one of those two teams? Does the innings limit argument come to a head?



As an aside, both teams hit big with mid-late round hitting gold such as Chris Young, Ad Beltre and others.

No, you just have to beat them at their own game. Simple as that.

kudos to the owners as they used a strategy they best felt would put them in a position to win.

I might call the winner "Rich Loophole Boy" for the rest of their life, but a win is a win. Go Team Ferrari.

The issue I have with this approach is the distortion it causes not just with the draft, but the on-going FAAB$$. Imagine being able to save all your starters $$$ not just in the draft, but throughout the SEASON
