Re: NFBC Rules Changes For 2014
While Jeff's suggestion of having one FAAB period is interesting, I still like the draft and be done with it format the best. If the average team has 10 dead spots they'd like to replenish, that 150 free agents being picked up at one time. Imagine how much time it will take to populate and/or chang...

Re: Looking For Feedback On NFBC Draft Champions
i was an early proponent of the individual clock. Tod has convinced me that the application is infeasible (imagine if four or five owners use up their time...nightmare ). if a six hour clock league was available, that would be my first choice. drafting most of my teams from some golf course in new z...

Re: Roto Snips
Brandon League blew his first save of 2013 in the Dodgers' extra-innings loss to the Mets on Wednesday. League entered the ninth inning with a 3-2 lead, but a leadoff double by Mike Baxter was followed two batters later by David Wright's two-out single. Blown save notwithstanding, League is still a ...

Re: Run Support, Kazmir
In case Scott Kazmir had butterflies going into action tonight, the Astros have given up 13 runs early on to take a lot of the pressure off. Let's just hope the rest of the Tribe doesn't decide to take the rest of the night off defensively and cost him the win. I'm curious, does anyone out there in...

Re: Carlos Quentin is an idiot
Something lost in all this is the stupidity of baseballs' unwritten rules. In the 1st inning on an 0-2 pitch Marquis threw a pitch up and in to Kemp. Scully mentioned this when the brawl broke out as possible retaliation for that pitch. This stupid you hit our guy or nearly do, so I hafta throw at ...
