I’m from Detroit and they said LF is Raburns JOB TO LOSE.Leyland doesnt like Boesch because he cant field and plus he had two homers in the second half and batted 184 after pitchers figured him out.Carlos Guillen is at 2b .

@Elijah: yeah - i'm normally a massive upside whore, but this Upton Shoulder phenomenon is really scaring me. it seems like BJ's been on this four-year odyssey of shoulder joint mystery, and now justin's all "ow my shoulder"... i gotta go a different direction for a year. this will of course therefore be the year justin breaks out for good and shoots to the top of 2012 drafts, but there's nothing i can do about that.

@Steve: Upton worries me in the now tepid Az lineup. Hes a strikeout prone guy whos gonna have no protection behind him (that I see). And he's kinda injury prone.

@Grey: I've taken a couple of OF in a row now, so I'm unlikely to get either of these two, but do you have Dread Pirate and Heyward ahead of Werth? After taking Upton, I wanted a guy I could kind of rely on...

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 03:11:08 +0000

@Steve: I'd want them before Werth, so it makes sense.

Damn big o just scooped me right in my face. Took Cruz at #37.

I took Werth at #38.

@Steve: yeah, 36 is right around where i have him ranked, so really i'm only taking him there if everybody else is drafting exactly according to my sheet. which they usually aren't, even though sometimes it feels like they are.

@wily mo: The Sneeze has just been taken at #36 in a 16-team slow mock I'm doing with, among others, big o.

@Tony: well spoken. think the rip-your-shirt-off jersey reveal is definitely the way to go there. better make sure it's a dark shirt so people can't see through, though. i actually own a lincecum dodgers jersey. be fun to pull the same trick using that in a draft full of giants fans. choo in 3 *is* a little early for my blood, though. i'm looking for him in 4 or 5, so realistically i'm not getting him very often even though i like him a lot.

To all: If you can’t handle the content of the site, turn in your man card and don’t venture into the Big Boy Waters anymore. Stay in the kiddie pool and stop complaining!

@Greg: Funny how people know they will be offended, yet still go to a site and read the content anyway, then invest the time to complain about it. I am offended by your being offended.

Are you always so crass and insensitive? Every now and
again I get routed here and am always annoyed by your sophomoric
sex-booze focus. This particular blog could be done in a single
sentence–keep an eye on Raburn–he just needs more playing time.
Helpful insight, but I had to wade through that other
stuff.

@SwaggerJackers: Agree with you on liking Choo. His power numbers are creeping up. Choo had 16 HRs in 2009 going into the last week of the season and then hit 4 more. A lot of people held that against him going into last year. He was pretty solid with absolutely nobody hitting in front of him or protecting him in 2010.

@Grey: mmmm nice on the yahoo eligibility. I play my one league thru yahoo. @SwaggerJackers: You either 1) wear it UNDER the shirt you wear and then once you get CHOO you take it off or 2) have it in a bag with you and put it on immediately after you take choo. (i have seen this done in a basketball league lol, andrei kirilenko was the player taken.... of all players! LOL)

@Eddy: Holliday, Upton, F-Her.... In that order.

By: Eddy

Eddy — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:05:42 +0000

@Grey: Thanks for the input. I'm aiming for an OF in the 3rd round to supplement Cargo in the 13th round. I don't think Holliday falls to me, so I think Upton would be next in line. Or maybe Felix. Preferences?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:01:05 +0000

@BookieBob: That's exactly how it would be. @SwaggerJackers: Like you'll ever take off that jersey. C'mon. @Steve: Choo @ChrisV82: Ha!

A MIF can very easily become a MILF – Middle Infielder I’d like to, uh, Field. On my team.

In bed.

I’m definitely going after Raburn, even though I feel like his ancestors should have invested in a Y.

I want to wear said Choo jersey to my auction draft but fear I will be tipping my hand too much. What do you guys think? Not to mention I drafted him last season AND it’s a NorthEast Ohio league. Might be a rare league where Choo is OVERvalued.

Umm, dontcha mean “I think 15 homers is the Absolut lowest homer total we’ll see.”

Ha!

And all that free booze? Sounds like a New Year’s eve party at Grey’s house!
…………………………………………………………….
So there we are at the party, 11 fantasy baseball doodes, drinking free wine and talking about corner infidels.

No women in sight. Isn’t it a wonder?

Terrence Mann strips naked and jumps in the pool. Oh crap, I think it’s time to go.

I see Leon Phelps – “Hey, it’s a lady! How you feeling tonight, lady?” Dammit Leon, it’s me, BookieBob!

Wait – there IS a lady – oh oh, it’s SwaggerJackers wife, and she’s pissed at all of us! She grabs SwaggerJackers by the face and hisses “It’s time to GO, snitch!”

Oh shit – everyone else heads for the exit, before any more wives come looking for us!

Except Terrance Mann – he’s says the water’s fine!

fin

…………………………………………………….

OK, so it’s a rough cut script. We’ll fill it in as we go.

The Hangover 3 – coming Summer of 2012!

@Cole: Nope @Steve: 20 picks before he'd go? Probably in the 100's. @SwaggerJackers: Ha! @Steve: Ha!
