I like this article. Going along the lines of “having fun” I went to a Rockies @ Nationals game last year. Not a fan of either team. Don’t live anywhere close to Washington either, but I had Matt Holliday. One of the kids in my league I went to school with was living in the area. It was the most fun I’ve ever had at a game. Nobody goes to Nationals games (go figure) so we sat in left field right next to Matty. Sweet view of my best player for the past three seasons butt. What? I’m a manager I’m allowed to slap him on the butt and I’m allowed to look at it as much as I want if he’s in front of me.

That could be fun. The question is, if I win, can I write an article?

@Jeremy: I think the main leagues are all full but we have an empty spot in a Fantasy Razzball league where you aim to manage the worst team possible – http://razzball.com/2009-fantasy-razzball-leagues-taste-the-schadenfreude/.

Let me know if you’re interested…

Any spots left for the league? I’d love to be a part of it.
I first start playing fantasy baseball in ’01 and went from a virgin to a nympho.
I’m very active — a veritable hawk on the wire, especially when it comes to young arms with K-ability, natch.
Please consider me if there’s still room.

@cockyphoenix: Nah, forget Perez.

drafted another team in a fit of insomnia. Got Motte. Is the Perez handcuff even necessary now? Picked him up last round but my OF is a little thin so I might prefer to find something on the wire

@Emporers Monkey: Yeah, looks equal.

Just accepted this trade offer in a roto league that also uses OPS as a catagory.

I give:
Aramis Ramirez
Danny Haren
Pablo Sandoval

I get:
Miguel Cabrera
Soto

Its a yahoo league, so Sandoval is catcher eligible.
Fairly equal?

K, Grey. I managed to talk him into Uggla/Swisher for Chipper/Laroche. He said he was gonna sleep on it and barring any unforseen circumstances, accept it in the morning. I think we good here

@Grey: I have a feeling that it doesn't really matter since both will probably be waiver wire pitchers for the entire year in my league

@john: I like them both, but I'd take Wandy slightly over Marshall. Dealer's choice, if you want.

By: john

john — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 03:36:35 +0000

yea, Marshall’s numbers (albeit, only spring training) are pretty good so far though

By: Grey

@john: I like Wandy.

Pork, a B? My god, where did you go to law school? With grade inflation being what it is at the top tier schools, the lowest grade in the class is a B. I did my own work, just didn’t bother outlining, when other more organized people did it so much better than I could have.

Who drafts without BP? Am I right people? Can I get a concurrence?

F. Lopez will fail. Coco Crisp will be a superstar.

@Russ: Speaking of which, who's the Quentin (or Ludwick) of this year? i.e. former top prospect now hardly thought of, but in a position to win a starting job... I'm making a late-rounds sleeper list right now.

So how far has Morrow fallen now that he might not even make the starting rotation until his arm strengthens? Is he worth keepin or should I just drop him and pick up the likes of Wandy or Marshall who are sittin pretty on the wire?

@Steve: Al-Ram was so far off my radar last year, he might as well have been playing soccer. @James: I hear you. Zim was just some collateral damage in the shizz-show that was the Baron's fantasy season last year. I had so much hate for Jeff Francoeur, I had to spread it around to a few other players. You too, Gordon. Grrrrrr.

@Grey: They text it to their Fave 5 while simultaneously adjusting their earbuds, hitching the beltless britches up and asking if you want fries with that order.

Ah, youth, the multi-taskers of the next generation…………..be afraid, be very afraid.

@BigFatHippo: As the kids say, w00t! Actually, I'm not sure if they say it since there's numbers in it.

5 grr? Impressive – I thought I was gangster going over 100.

@Grey: You just went over 5000 with that comment, got carpal tunnel?

@BVV – Dont get off the Zimmer train. He got hurt, it happenes. He sure helped me in Sept when he came off my DL. He has a legit chance at 30-100-100 .290 and some SBs.

@Steve: That is great news. About Lopez, not about Quentin not being drafted.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 23:40:02 +0000

@Russ: @Baron Von Vulturewins: And Al-Ram didn’t get drafted in a similar league that I’m in.

I made sure he got grabbed off the wire though

@Russ: Quentin went undrafted in my league last year, which is a 12-team mixed roto w/ 3 OF slots. He was a gimpy D-Backs castoff who, I can't imagine, was in anyone's top 50 OFs, and that's about how many OFs get drafted in my league every year.

Great post, p0rk.

Of course I will not disregard, and since now I’m inside your head, my vengeance will be complete and overwhelming. Enjoy the crown while you can
