@Baron Von Vulturewins: 1st Pick… Kurt Warner of the Iowa Barnstormers. He used to read stories to my mom’s 2nd grade class when he was in Des Moines, but often refused to sing along in the Holdsmas Carroling this time of year.

“Oh Carlos M., Oh Carlos M… How lovely are your sliders.”

I’m done, I promise.

@Grey: I’m a very distant relative to the General McPherson, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_B._McPherson, so make me proud!

@Baron Von Vulturewins: The Scott Kazmir love child was all I could come up with while multitasking at work.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: HOLDSMAS! On Marmol, On Broxton, On Shields! Ho-Ho-Holds.

@Grey: I remember going out with my pa to cut down our first Holdmas tree. We didn't bring an axe. We just stood around and watched the tree until someone else showed up to chop it down.

@Tim L: Yeah, I understand there's a different kind of satisfaction in a long-standing keeper league. Like meticulously building a dynasty over many years. Like nabbing the young superstar a year before he's on anyone else's radar. Like plundering the same hapless owner with lopsided trades again and again. And for all that, having to utter the words, "And with the first pick, I select... JJ Hardy" is a fair price to pay. You have to understand. Hardy and I have history. Bad history. @Grey: I had ill-fated ideas about getting a life. But forget that. If you're doing a sleeper post on Dallas McPherson, then who's next? Another round of Casey Kotchman love? That Todd Van Poppel post we've been clamoring for? Maybe a deep sleeper post on Kevin Maas? When you hit 77 HRs (or whatever) in AAA and the big team STILL doesn't call you up, I have to believe that there is something impeding your ability to flourish at the Major League Level. Then again, I was dead wrong about Ryan Ludwick. Dead wrong. No takers on Fantasy Arena Football for 2010? We can make it a keeper league. I got dibs on... okay, I can't name a single player.

@Grey: @Steve: I bet it wouldn't take much to get Woody into those places.

@Grey: No argument there. But Norm couldn't hold a candle to early Kirstie Alley.

@Steve: Norm's better than Carla.
