That's a shame

In one of my DCs (which started out like gangbusters) I now have 15 players on the DL. Just wondering if this is a record, and I'm looking for sympathy. Thanks in advance ...

Re: Keeping track of players

I cut and paste the my roster into Excel with an extra column to the left of the roster indicating the league (type it in once next to the first player then Edit/Fill Down). For each subsequent league I cut and paste below the previous one, remembering to add the league name in the first column and ...

3rd Round Reversal

I know that it has been reported that in regards to draft order each place has won as much as any other place. Two questions: does that hold true for overall money (i.e. place money); and how does that jive with disproportionate dollar values between the draft orders? You may argue that in-season ma...

Wish List Of Improvements For NFBC 2018

I like the idea of an average pick time with one caveat: it should be normalized for all geographies. I'm on the west coast and there's no way I'm going to pick at 4AM PST which would be 7AM EST and a very common pick time, especially for those who pick before they go to work on the East coast. On t...

Re: Closers

I'd prefer 1*Sv + 0.5*H as the RP category in the scenario you depict ... holds are too random compared to saves IMHO

Re: Questions For 2017

What would happen if baseball records were relative? I.E. home runs wouldn't be a simple count but a standard deviation from the mean? How would that affect Bonds, Ruth, etc?

Quantifying the Unquantifiables

I've been doing fantasy for a long time now with decent, not noteworthy, results. I love playing for both bragging rights and big payouts, but I realize now that I really enjoy the process, preparation, analysis, strategy, tactics and gamesmanship involved in this pastime as much as the payouts. If ...

Super Utility

Has there been any thought given to making the utility position a super utility position (either hitter or pitcher)? Seems like this would give us one more tactic to mine during the season and especially late season. One objection may be that it's harder for stats to process, but so many sites offer...

Re: On Pace

I think that the home runs Valbuena gets in his 6,000 AB this year will be offset by a poor average. All those 2 for 50 days are going to add up.

Re: 6th Annual $1,000 Draft Champions: Feb. 22nd

What time do we start on Monday morning? Fun times ahead. This draft moves fast enough with MtM pushing, I can't commit to a 4 hour league and I think that would take away some of the fun anyways for this one!
DCs typically start at 1PM ET
