Thought I'd review my draft and give everyone a good laugh:
RD/Player/Comments
1. Jose Reyes/ Lands on the DL for severe vaginal cramping after a completely innefective start. Waste so far
2. CC Sabathia/ Solid but nothing great so far 6-4 with a 3.7ish ERA
3. Brian MaCann/ Got one right but scared the [censored] out of me when he was on the DL and they thought he might be going blind. Seriously.
4. Brandon Webb/ 4 IP, got rocked probably going to miss the season now. Most durable big name pitcher in baseball the last 5 years by the way.
5. Dan Haren/ 2.23 ERA/.82 WHIP/96 K's thank you very much. To bad he plays for such a [censored]ty team and only has 6 wins.
6. Fransisco Rodriguez/ No complaints here
7. Chipper Jones/ Larry started off slow as hell but he's picked it up lately. Still only has 8 HR and 30 some RBI.
8. Rich Harden/ Plenty of K's, only 1 trip to the DL so far. Best you can ask of him. Like all my starters he's Win challenged.
9. Jonathan Broxton/ 6 wins to go with the 18 saves doesn't suck.
10. Trevor Hoffman/ Started on the DL but has been lights out since.
11. Kerry Wood/ Traded him along with Milton Bradley for Lance Berkman. That worked out well although Berkman isn't having a Berkman kind of year.
12. Kelly Johnson/ Seemed like a good idea at the time.
13. Justin Upton/ Great pick this late...too bad I cut him soon afterward. OPSing over 1.00 with 9 SB's ...[censored] me.
14. Andre Ethier/ Nice way to break the stupidity streak.
15. Chad Qualls/ meh
16. Elijah Dukes/ It still makes me ill I decided to keep this [censored]head and cut Upton.
17. Milton Bradley/ turned into fat Elvis.
18. Adrian Beltre/ Cut...worthless bastard.
19. Adam LaRoche/ Cut...WTF was I thinking?
20. Dave Bush/Cut...nice [censored]ing run of picks here genius.
21. Mike Cameron/ Old Faithful doing just fine.
22. Hiroki Kuroda/ Extendo trip to the DL but may very well save my ass with the zero I'm going to get from Webb. Like all my starters he has a great stat line but is 2-3 in wins.
23. Jack Cust/ Donkey light. Pretty damn good stats for this late.
- Freddie Sanchez and Andrew Bailey have been the highlights of my FA pickups but they don't make up for cutting Upton.
- Pretty much wasted picks 12 through 20 save Ethier.
- Picks 1-4 haven't given me top 4 production by any stretch.
- My starters are win challenged to say the least but the pen is strong.
All in all a pretty underwhelming start to the season by this team. I think the hole has been dug too deep to make any noise.
PS I would be remiss if I didn't mention my good luck in grabbing Okajima off the scrap heap. 32K's in 32 IP with 14 Holds and a 2.5 ERA is kinda nice.
