@Tom: Hater! Joking. On average Coco Crisp is being drafted before Lewis, so if you can get him after it's not bad. They will be similar.

I hate to be a hater (or change the subject when there are WWE references everywhere), but I picked up Coco a lot later in my draft than Lewis and I wasn’t horribly dissapointed. I’m not expecting those 15 homers to come back, but am I wrong to think they might put up similar #s?

- Salvatore Bellomo – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Bellomo
- The Fraley Brothers
- Iron Mike Sharpe
- Leaping Lanny Poffo
- Barry Horowitz

Do you want me to pitch it via this comment option or ???

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:42:37 +0000

@Fred Barker: Sure, we'll consider it. Before writing it, pitch it to me at grey [at] razzball.com. @Tony: If I were to bet on it, he's going to LA.

Grey, do you guys accept guest articles? Is there a way to send you a draft without posting it directly in a comment response?

How’d we get on this anyway? I hate wrestling, unless it involves Jello or mud.

@Grey: Ha! I think I did prefer the good guys over the bad guys. Or the "scientific wrestlers" over the "rule-breakers", which, if memory serves, how they were divided back in the day. It's possible I may have been taking it all a little too seriously. But c'mon - I was 11.

@Doug Ault: You mean like Steve Lombardi? They're called jobbers. It would be Lombardi and two other guys and they would take on Andre.

Fred Lewis was one of those wrestlers who you knew would lose cuz he had no costume or gimmick when he entered the ring to fight guys like Koko B Ware

@sean: He said that he was battling bunions all last summer and he still stole 21. I'm not at all concerned about the steals. Runs would take a hit, but then he'd just get a few more RBIs. Due to the anemic offense on the Giants, he actually has much more potential. If he can stay healthy, there's no reason why he can't see 140+ games.
