NFBC Message Boards

I'll cast a vote for the Westin Times Square. It's on 8th ave @ 42nd street, which means it's easy to access the 7 train (to CitiField) as well as Penn Station for LI folks, the PA Bus Terminal for us NJers, and has cheap-ish parking at the bus terminal as well @ ~$20/day.

Slow start to the season here. Need Webb to come back big time, and Wright needs to get his stuff together. Been a frustrating April...

Wow.. just getting word of this. Horrible, man. Flashbacks of Kile.

I think it's kinda cool that the NFBC coincides with March Madness. Great for you Vegas drafters - although I heard more than a few horror stories about the sportsbook lines this year... Hey... now that I think about it, where were those great MVP Sportbooks 'hostesses' we had a few years back??? Th...

Originally posted by Liquidhippo: Some good points, however, Dunn's ADP is in the 6th and I've frequently seen him available in the 8th, so his value is lower than it's ever been before. The ballpark change shouldn't effect him. If you check his stats from last year he was just a smidge better on th...

Are you sure that's not Brad Wilkerson??? He gets scooped up and dropped every year....

Originally posted by Ryan Carey: And the Phelps analogy while cute isn't relavant. Phelps had already gone 7 for 7 with 6 gold medals in the previous Olympics - so the 8 Golds was well within his reach and he was already the best swimmer in the world. Not a rookie who'll be facing MLB pitching for t...

Leading off??? Well.. in the absence of another viable alternative, I guesso. I think it stinks for both Washington and his RBI #s. Still not all that happy that someone queue-napped him on me....

AHill 16.14

DelYoung 18.14

Wigginton 19.2

Swisher 27.2

"There will obviously be some errors when it comes to entering the right numbers"If I mistakenly get a better player than I drafted, you won't hear a peep out of me. Im sure you will from the other 14 GMs though....

Good luck, Gek. Don't really know you, but:



-You contribute tons to this board

-Your confidence is unsurpassed.. and very entertaining

-You're not in my league



So.. I hope this team wins you the $5K.

Why did I think you were picking 2nd?



Anyways, I think I landed a sick power offense, a little short on legs (~125), and OK pitching. If I thought AGonz was going to last until end of 4, I would have used that 3.2 pick on ARios instead...

Jeez... how the hell did that happen??? I took him at 3.2 knowing full well he would not make it back to me.



How do you feel about your team, Gek? Didnt see it posted anywhere. I want to know what my benchmark needs to be...

Great time, guys. If me and Jantas finish 1-2, EVERYONE will bring Goose to the draft next year...



Saw a couple of real nice teams out there, guys. Good luck to all.



FYI - Pleasantries end April 5th.

Im projecting at 125 and I feel like I definitely will need to contribute from the bench and FAAB. I was hoping for more like 150.

Hi, Chris. Best of luck to you, man. Had a very fun, interesting draft. So many nice bats kept falling (imo) and I kept grabbing them. Got caught up and had to scramble for a few cats. Did ok, but hey... thats what FAAB is for NY3 - Pick 2 c - Soto 5 c - Flores 25 1b - AGonzalez 3 2b - AHill 16 ss -...

Can never say it's a bad strategy as I like the 'well balanced roster' as much as anyone, but when I look over your team for power sources, I see Manny and...... well, just Manny.



Lidge at 8.8??? That's grand larceny.

Oriole hot dogs are renamed Wieter Wieners.Close. I'm gonna go roll myself a Wieter.

Im leaning Wright. I pick 2nd, and think that the absence of ARod makes 3B super scarce. I have Wright, Longoria, ARamirez, and then a huge drop. Makes it a hard position to fill - especially with a 5-tool, 'play everyday' guy like Wright.



Then again, I may flip-flop by the weekend.

Given his Clemens-like offseason preparation, Mark is going to do a 'Mission Impossible' at Dr. Philippon's residence to get the real scoop on ARod.

I started with 2. Figgered I'd be the only one with that.

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: The ARod-Chipper comparison is poor. Chipper has a history of sitting games with minor injury, killing fantasy owners. I am really leary of Chipper this year. Last year was actually one of Chipper's better years of not taking days off for minor injuries. I owe it to S...

I was at #6 last year by choice, and the year before I liked the back at #12. This year I like the 'latter end' of the top 5.. er, 4. Would like to get a piece of the consensus top tier, but don't like to sit in #1 or #2 because of the long wait. Afraid to get killed by a run on a position. I tend t...
