Re: OFFICIAL NFBC STATEMENT ABOUT START OF SEASON
I would very much like to play out the draft champion leagues that were already drafted regardless of who shows up for spring training or how many games are played.

Re: Is It Time To Discuss IP Minimums Going Forward?
Replace wins with innings pitched and remove the IP minimum. I agree. Much better idea than adding QS for a variety of reasons. Wouldn't this just bring back the 'gamers' who punted W's and K's? Instead of punting W's, they'd just punt INN. Which is why we have the minimum innings. It especially wo...

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast
EDIT- I've received several communications about Ohtani. The best suggestion I've heard in the actual use of Ohtani in the NFBC would be this.... Ohtani would have a star or (2) after his name in drafting to designate him as a two way player. Once drafted, his owner can then use him as a Pitcher (t...

Draft Champions Overall Standings Issues
Point totals for Draft Champions Overall Standing categories are incorrect.
Also the total number of teams is incorrect. Right now there are 3450 total teams listed. Should be 3495 if the owned % page is correct (233 leagues).

Yandy Diaz - Position Eligibility
Shouldn't Yandy Diaz start the season with just DH eligibility? He is listed at 3B on the Eligibility list. He had 14-16 games at DH depending on how you count the games on 8/23 and 8/28. He had just 9 games at 1B and 3B last season. The rule I am referencing is pasted below for convenience. I haven...

Re: 2019 ADP -when?
Greg,
For every time a player is undrafted it is currently assigning him the value of 450 + 1 which might make sense if all our drafts were 30 round 15 team drafts.

Re: Ohtani 2019
Thanks for the ruling, Greg.
As I continue my prep for 2019, I was wondering what position SP/1B Brendan McKay of the Rays will be initially eligible next season and how he will be handled. He might be one more year a way but I do think a mid-season call-up is a possibility.

Re: Ohtani 2019
That is unfortunate news. However the question still needs to be addressed. He may not even get TJS and just be exclusively play offense next year. If he does get TJS, maybe he only needs six month recovery typical for position players and he spends next season exclusively on offense. While this is ...

Ohtani 2019
I am curious to know if any thought has been given to how Shohei Ohtani will be dealt with next season. Is he going to be pitcher only again? I personally don't see why he can't be both but not at the same time. You can slot him in as your utility player (but he will not generate pitching stats for ...

Is there a one click way that we could see Main Event bids as they were posted last year? If not, isn't ease of information as important as the information itself? I agree.

Re: Let's Compile The Latest Updates In This Thread
The update that was just done to mix white background lines with grey ones in the standings/lineup page is much harder to read. Just some feedback. I do not like it at all. I agree. Highlights the white lines and de-emphasizes the dark gray. This look might work but the contrast between white and d...

Re: NFBC Random Slot Generator BLOWS
I believe this has a binomial distribution solution. Binomial(n=number of trials, k=number of successes, p=probability of success) In Deadheadz' case, not getting one of his top two choices in 9 tries equals a very reasonable 27.6% chance of occurring. Binomial(n=9,k=0,p=2/15). However in Gekko's ca...

Re: quality starts VS wins
Wins should just be replaced by total innings pitched if it is decided that a change is needed. That is the best predictor for # of wins anyway, while still allowing relievers to contribute to the category as well (as opposed to QS).

Re: Draft Champions?
If you offer an 8-hour the 4-hour will continue to suffer because there will be more novices in the 8-hours, thus the hardcore guys will play the 8's solely to avoid the toughest top-to-bottom leagues.

Re: How About A $100,000 Grand Prize In The NFBC Cutline?
I have thought about this for awhile and I probably would not play next year if the league prize was taken away. I was only going to run 1 team again anyways. I already feel that the current Cutline payout format is a bad "investment." I played it because I really wanted to try out the format. It so...
