@brad: At #6 overall.... KEMP, fielder, Howard, Longoria, Upton... I could probably keep going. I'm just not looking at a list of players. I would much rather have a fielder or howard who can hit 45+ HR than TEX who will maybe hit 40. I will say I like tex in a H2H league for the fact he's red hot down the stretch when you need him most.

@Tony: perhaps slightly overrated, but i think he's definitely top 10. who's going later that you would take before him?

@Grey: #6 overall at MDC.... i'm just not taking a 1B in the top 6 that doesnt steal unless his name is albert Pujols... I understand the consistency, the 35/125 and .300 average in a good ballpark with a solid line up... just other things I'd go for.

@Tony: He's consistent, surrounded by a solid lineup and in a great ballpark. He doesn't seem overrated to me.

Am i the only person that thinks Mark Teixiera is WAY OVERRATED in fantasy baseball? First rounder? I dont think so.

@cws05nuts: Doesn't read like a signing that's going to make a big difference for the Cubs. @big o: Hehe

The Byrd for three years? Seems like more bad Cub paper. Very right handed again.

maybe someone else will find it helpful .

re : marmol
am worried that his stuff is too nasty …. to the point of being “wild” and uncontrollable .
whenever i watch this guy , there’s always a ball , or two ,
bouncing in the dirt
and heading towards the 1st base dugout .

Thanks for the stellar article. Maybe one day Willy Taveras will be stealing the spotlight from Omar Moreno.

Folly Floater: Steve Hamilton vs Tony Horton

this is good stuff

Steve may have had that funny looking pitch called the Folly Floater, but his lifetime stats (229/293/344) were no laughing matter for opposing batters

Steve Hamilton’s Folly Floater was an impression of from Bugs Bunny’s Powerful, Paralyzing, Perfect Pachydermous Percussion Pitch. …

@mrbaseball: i checked out stick's stats and they are awful but not spotlight awful. it did spark a good idea - next one is on the worst season ever by a future manager. there are a surprising amount of contenders. @sean: thanks. can't believe it's been a year since i posted one of these. i'll definitely be sticking with BRAN this year for any snake drafts. i'm hoping to do more dollar drafts though....

rudy, love the historical bits. gonna go forward with BRAN this year or abandon ship?

you just made Omar Moreno famous – with all those outs he made – his rookie baseball card must be worth something – I think an article on ex yankee great Gene Micheal should follow next
