Greg,



Can you get me signed up for a $150 slow draft please. Not sure if I am posting this in the right spot or not, so just let me know. Thanks!

Originally posted by glenlake22: I understand the difference between real baseball and FB. My leagues have gone through numerous changes over the years, including the switch from BA to OBP. I can imagine the difficulty of making a change in an organization as large as the NFBC. The OBP 2010 thing wa...

There you go, Jim Great post. Thanks Dough.

Dough,



I missed your post on Furcal. Can you paste that into this thread?

edwin reminds me a lot of adrian beltre from a few years ago. he is highly hyped, and has put up a few decent seasons, and has the potential to break out big time. all edwin needs is to get some roids, and he can do what beltre did too!

A little birdie just told me they are on pace to score only 81 runs!!! Even Rollins isn't safe!!! errrrrrrrrrrrr............i think it's time to re-think this one!

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Kemp has to be one of the few players hitting 7th in the lineup, that was taken in the second round in most drafts. i'd agree with you on that one. i am not certain that will be his permanent spot, and think he could wind up in the 2 hole as the season progresses. he ...

I am a huge Dodgers fan, and I have to say that I am pretty pleased with their offense as it heads into the season. This is the first time in the past 6 seasons that I have actually felt good about their offense heading into a season. They have power, speed, youth, and tons of guys that can hit for ...

I must be CRAZY, b/c i think i have him here. i like: 1B - tex over fielder 2B - matsu/hudson over weeks 3B - beltre over guillen U - hafner over lowell OF - my OF over his OF P - my pitching staff over his, both starters and closers he has me at C, SS, MI, CI (and as for CI, the book is still out. ...

i hope he goes to jail, where he can NOT hurt anymore women.....also, in jail, maybe someone can treat him like a b**ch, and show him how it feels.

Crazy asked me to post my team up against his, so I took his from his thread, and added mine too it. We all know in season management plays a huge role, but as of the draft, which team do you like better and why.....you be the JUDGE! Pos Jim Young............Crazy C Ivan Rodriguez.......Bengie Molin...

Crazy,



It's Saturday, which means you completed your on-line draft last night! Let's see that team big-boi! Time to pony up!

the show wasn't live. it's pretty standard protocol to have multiple camera's filming at one time when you are taping a tv show. once it is finished being taped, they then edit it together for the broadcast....

Time to raise a player debate. Who would you rather have, Adam Dunn or Jack Cust? Most, upon first thought, would definitely say Adam Dunn. The guy has put up 4 seasons in a row of 40 HR and 100 + RBI. That's pretty impressive. Dunn, however, will cost you a 5th round pick. On the other hand, Jack C...

Gecko,



In the midst of all the back and forth on this posting, one thing has been left out. Is this true? Are you going to be on ESPN? If so, what show, date, and time? Or, is this all part of the hype machine? Do tell.......

Originally posted by rockitsauce: There certainly does appear to be a double standard here. Jim Young challenges Crazy like Fox to put his money where his mouth is by entering main, then half a dozen guys jump on him for attacking Crazy. Gekko does the same damn thing and....crickets. Gekko insults ...
