NFBC Message Boards

Each week, we'll showcase show some of the top FAAB pickups in each league so that everyone can stay up to speed with some of the new acquisitions. Here's the going rate in each NFBC league for the most sought-after free agents: Chicago League 1: The Cableguy had the top bid this week, paying $208 f...

Congratulations to The Subterraneans for being the Week 4 winner. This week's prize is a Ichiro Suzuki autographed All-Star baseball with a retail value of $499.99. Congratulations again to The Subterraneans and good luck to everyone this week.

In case folks didn't see it, League vs. League standings are now posted on the front page of the Web site.

viper, I contacted STATS about your first question so I'll let you know what they say. As far as No. 2, you can see all of the pickups made each week by clicking on Transactions and then Waiver History. You will see a pull down menu where you can view every league's FAAB moves throughout the season....

One thing to factor into the equation is that this year, in my opinion, will feature one of the deepest group of RBs I can ever remember in recent fantasy history. It's way early I realize (but hey we're already hard at work getting our first fantasy football magazine done so it can't be too early n...

Since I'm a strong advocate of the RB-RB theory, I've always been partial to a middle-of-the-first round pick. That way you ensure getting a quality RB with your first pick and, at worst, a solid RB coming back. The problem with picking at the top of the round (especially in a 14-team league) is tha...

Each week, we'll showcase show some of the top FAAB pickups in each league so that everyone can stay up to speed with some of the new acquisitions. Here's the going rate in each NFBC league for the most sought-after free agents: Chicago League 1: 1000 Benjamins paid $77 for Jason Marquis, while Cros...

Erstad did not play in the minimum number of games (20) at 1B last year to qualify at that position (he actually didn't play in any games at 1B). Once he plays in his 20th game there this season, he will become eligible at that position.

Free-agent moves are always among the most fascinating aspects of any fantasy baseball season. Who gets picked up, who gets dropped and why those moves are made are often very intriguing. With that in mind, there were some notable players who were dropped last week due to injuries and/or ineffective...

Congratulations to Team O'Connor for being the Week 3 winner of the NFBC. This week's prize is an autographed 8x10 George Brett photo courtesy of Upper Deck Authenticated with a retail value of $99. Congrats again to Team O'Connor and good luck to everyone this week. [ April 27, 2004, 11:28 AM: Mess...

I've e-mailed STATS to see what's up. I'll let you guys know when I hear back from them.

Each week we will give away an autographed memorabilia item from Steiner Sports as part of our Weekly Poll giveaway. Each NFBC owner and co-manager is eligible to win one prize as one name will be pulled out of our listings each week. The Week 2 winner of an autographed Ron Darling 8x10 photograph i...

If you're looking for some early pre-season football cheat sheets, we have them posted on the front page of the NFFC Web site. These are just the Top 20 players at each position, but more in-depth cheat sheets will be added in the not too distant future. For now, enjoy the Cheat Sheets and we defini...

As Greg said, the problem is being fixed and everything will be correctly updated soon. Here's more on the situation from STATS: "Going forward we'll have three days worth of corrections reflected in the Team Stats page. Right now the caching of the team stats is separate from the scoring, so that's...

Congratulations to Ride the Puffins for being the Week 2 winner of the NFBC. This week's prize is a Ken Griffey Jr. autographed bat with a retail value of $399.99. Congrats again to Ride the Puffins and good luck to everyone this week.

Plymouth, the rules state that if a player did not play at all last season, his eligibility would revert to the last position he was eligible at when he was active. For Lankford, that means he's eligibile as an OF.

I should ammend my previous post. The draft information for every league is currently available. When you open the excel document, just click on the "Raw Picks" tab at the bottom. That will take you to each league where each pick round-by-round is available. Hope this helps. [ April 15, 2004, 05:00 ...

Hey folks, we've been asked if it would be possible to supply the entire drafts for every league. We currently don't have that information available to be posted, but if there were people in each league who kept track of that info during the drafts, we might be able to put something together. We alr...

Thanks to the good folks at STATS, we now have a spreadsheet that shows the average draft position for every player drafted in the NFBC. You'll need Excel to view the file which can be found at http://game.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/NFBC_Picks.zip Also, STATS asks that you please save the docum...

Congratulations to King of Queens for winning the first week of the NFBC and the Week 1 prize -- a Roger Clemens autographed Yankees cap with a retail value of $350. Congrats again to King of Queens and good luck to everyone this week.

Jon, all updates are included in the e-mail newsletter that we send out each week. We also will update the rules section on the Web site when necessary. We will make sure to provide this information in all of the pertinent places so that everyone has access to everything and no one is at a competiti...

We wanted to clarify the lineup issue that had come up this week. If an owner submits a lineup with fewer than 23 active players, that lineup will not be considered illegal or invalid. Instead, the owner will not receive any stats from that open position (s) during that weekly period, but the rest o...
