NFBC Message Boards

I will let Greg address this...But this was discussed in a few threads late last week.



One of which is here.

I understand there were problems this AM. But they did fix it. Now they are helping anyone that had a roster problem because of it. They said they would input any players from faab that people were locked out on. Simply email them. I dont understand the problem.... I know we were all worried earlier...

Opposite field HR to boot! Didnt even have to muscle up and pull it!



The best part is I own D wright in all but one league this year....Even better is I own garret Jones with 2 HR today in 2 leagues as well!



C'Mon David, i am pulling for you....

I wonder if the same can be said for Greinke, Halladay and Baker today? :rolleyes: Did they pee there pants too? What a coincidence...

I do not own Wandy in any league...Not because I didnt want him, he just hasnt made my rosters this season.. But ST stats rarely mean anything. Especially for established pitchers. If anyone decided to look further into Wandy earlier, you would have realized that he has been aggressively trying to f...

Holy cow....Now I have to go back and reread it...

hey Dough B, Thats a pretty good story. :D :D Funny actually.. But I am still taking the over this year on Rios.. :D But Rios hit 19 HR in 2007 HR derby...5 rd 1, 12 rd 2 and 2 in the finals... Vlad had won it with 17 total HR, but 3 in the finals... Rios did hit 24 HR a couple years ago.... :D :D

I cant believe I am defending Alex Rios..... :D Its not like someone took David Wright with the 7th pick.....But here goes... While i cant actually say any of your assessments of Rios above are not true, I can say that just about all the young power speed guys mentioned in that same sentence come wi...

Originally posted by kgrady: I would have selected Andrew McCutchen in the 5th round had he still been on the board. He went in the 4th round, which was not surprising given his rising ADP. Jayson Werth went in the 2nd round in my league; Nelson Cruz in the 3rd. Given the heavy emphasis on power/spe...

FWIW, this thread must have an agenda... But I am pretty sure the wording was more pun-ish... If D wright was going around the 2/3 turn, then you might onto something..But as it was already brought above, 1st rd ADP 13 isnt what i would call a sleeper.... And that was Sat league ADP...Not last weeke...

I didn't want to mention it, but I will.



I heard that Chewbacca was going to qualify as a catcher in the Jedi league..



If that happens, I would probably slot him in between Abreu and Shandler...



I think Shandler at 8 is a reach!

I like the team....Quite a bit... I dont think Haren, Baker and Danks are a bad three at all. If Justin Duke can pitch 130 innings, then i like the Sp more.. My only nit pick might be HR production..In the 30 seconds I looked over the team and picks in certain rounds, the HR looked a little light......

Originally posted by alang: Is there a chance that anyone can answer this question? I am recently new to these leagues. What is the best fantasy software to buy for these drafts? If someone can email me, if they don't want to post, at alanrgreenberg@yahoo.com , that would be great. If not, I underst...

Originally posted by mlbbug: Hey Superfly, You had the courage to go with the guy that you believed in,at the point in the draft where you felt you had to grab him at.That's a perfect example of "total control drafting".Sometimes you've got to throw ADP's out the window.Just don't go drafting a 20th...

Now thats how to state your case in a reasonable manner! Nice counterpoints. A couple things I want to point out though. While your team isnt a total punch and Judy team and last years HR totals are nice, it is kind of selective.. Here is why. you substituted Scutaro and Rolen HR totals for Brain Ro...

Originally posted by Alfred Newman: Superfly, SCS #8 pick in R.L. the one that took Tex and Lincecum. Just returned from Live Double Play 7pm AC draft. Check the entry list, a few boys out of the top shelf. I didn't research who my competiton was until now to avoid losing focus on the job at hand. M...

I can say this. if anyone had read the Rookie NFBC thread here or on mastersball, they might have prepared for a possible pitcher run ... They would have also seen that MDC and NFBC ADPs could have been thrown out the window... Some people said it was a bunch of rookie drafters that didnt follow the...

Team isnt bad, but I would like it a little better if it were a 15 team league....Pitching looks solid but In a 12 team league, you couldnt do better than Shoppach and Moore at C? Aside of that it looks solid..Like it was mentioned before, You may have to play Stubbs for the Sbs instead of one other...

I have to agree a bit.. A few problems I see.. The Power looks lacking. The corners have to be the weakest in the league I would like to see one more pitcher after Dempster. Gavin Floyd, Scott Baker type..Maybe even a Jorge De la rosa.. In the end, the others could come in though...Upside is there. ...

Originally posted by ToddZ: Just a side not about the first round in general this season... Normally, if you "graph" a draft, you will see picks go down the ladder, decreasing in value steadily for the first 3 rounds, with the largest slope in the first round. This year, in terms of value in a vacuu...

Originally posted by TOXIC ASSETS: SUPERFLY, I both like and dislike your draft. I like the fact that you thought it all out and grabbed your guy at 7, regardless of ADP, regardless of what anyone else thought. Wright is still only 27 and could come back in a big way. Kudo's. I dislike your draft be...

Originally posted by bjoak: Dave, just a FYI, that my comments weren't about your personal selection, but the Mets' park since it came up. If Wright hits 15 homers with 25 steals and a good BA from a good spot in the line-up he will still be more valuable than some first rounders so I wouldn't worry...

I will let Todd answer the last question. But In taking David wright with the 7 pick, I had to assess whether last season was a fluke or a new standard for him....I know many people that are much smarter than I can run some numbers to make a point or disprove a point. And there is nothing wrong with...

Originally posted by Schwks: Generally speaking, I think that people are loathe to discuss their strategies. This is because if you are in one of the multi-league events (main, doubleplay or auction) then your competitors are potentially either learning from your thought process or getting insight o...
