Or the owner of those pants.....

whew.

alfredsson. one of the most under-rated players, all-time.

really wish you'd said "19" when pineda was up in our a.l., rather than let me have him at $18...:) johnson is the only closer on my other a.l. team, currently in first. today's report that he is being held for further observation and they have yet to diagnose his ailment, has me wondering what i sh...

in the background to the celebration, you can see ryan being restrained near the m's dug-out from charging after the ump to bitch and complain.

thanks so much for this post. i am short saves w my n.l. team and was wondering if i should go all-in on cruz. i was thinking about $350 or so...but because you are so high on this guy, i think i will bid around $600.

thank again, geeko. with friends lie you...

moi aussi

merde

well,

pretend you own gio gonzalez and henry rodriguez. last night, brad lidge came on in the ninth to 'nail down' the save after gonzalez was lifted after only 91 pitches. lidge gave up a lead-off double, then a walk, and went 3-0 on the next batter.

what outcome do you hope for?

i look at pitching matchups and possible platoon issues. i look at the weather forecast. i look at the how each player is trending.

in your case, i would stay with howie.

Who was the last guy to become a closer less than two calendar years out of college? Billy Koch maybe, and he was an absolute college superstar (#4 overall pick -- Reed was a 3rd rounder).

not certain if they meet your criteria, but off the top of my head; street and then storen.

[quote="Glenneration X"] what I believe is my biggest weakness in this hobby of ours, my affinity towards elite but injury prone arms. It goes back to the days of Mark Prior and Ben Sheets and Rich Harden. I can't seem to lay off these guys when I see them at perceived "value". I always think, what ...

With the incredible level of volatility of closers going down for the year,totally unexpected role changes(e.g. Santiago,Rodney,Aceves,etc.) and countless early season blown saves maybe there is a need to consider a rules change for next year. Many leagues have adapted the saves category to a combi...

first serious venture into high-stakes fantasy baseball. three auctions and the main event, vegas 2. for the draft, i mapped out my top three, braun, santana, and greinke, before i got on the plane leaving victoria. after that, build a power base, draft a front line closer and gio gonzalez, chase sb...

Greg, I liked a lot of your buys...Ency, Jennings, Asdrubal, Hill, Worley, Nicasio, Storen were all nice for the price. Love your overall hitting depth, but I would be worried about the overall pitching with the shaky closer situation (like Storen, but he is hurt; hate Thornton). very true. i am co...

Not in your league... shame; :) " It's good to welcome another NFBC Charter Member to the 2012 events. In fact, you might want to have this guy in your league this year...for a number of reasons!!! :mrgreen: Wayne Edwards of Duluth, Georgia had won of his best seasons in the NFBC last year, but mor...

good luck everyone. see you all next weekend. We now have more than 245 teams in the Main Event as we welcome NFBC veteran Kevin Schiller of Marina del Rey, California to both weekends. Kevin may join us in Las Vegas both weekends, but at the very least he's doing the Main Event Online on the 24th a...

12 vs 15?

good luck everyone. see you all next weekend. Signups are starting to roll in now that the fantasy football season is complete, so let's roll out the Welcome Wagon and see if we can catch up. Let's stick with Las Vegas for a bit and welcome KC Cha of Los Angeles, California as he will be returning t...

i need a second ticket please, greg.

( ok for a non-nfbc player to attend? )

12) i can casually announce in room full of nfbc players that i booked off the last three weeks from work and spent every day of my holiday preparing for next weekend's drafts, and no one would think that unusual. 13) everyone in the nfbc has an educated opinion how many at bats vinnie catricala wil...

little guy/ big arm...team herrera

if we assume that the winner of any of these prizes, 15th through 1st, has already pocketed 1k, then getting an extra $250 isn't that big a deal. nice, but i prefer the plan that pushes most of the prize $ up closer towards the top end.
