A) stick him out in right field so he never touches the ball;

B) stick him at 3rd base so he can take one off the chin and go crying home to his mommy; OR

C) there’s no way in hell Karabell has ever Ever EVER attempted to play in any athletic contest, including but not limited to baseball in any way, shape, or form, therefore this is a completely futile exercise.

you can only imagine how hard it was ,
for me and my big mouth ,
to sit on this , since september .

i’ve never really had a sleeper , before .
and he’ll probably be my last .

i wrote this 2 days ago .
my drafts are over now .

i fall under the scout-type category .
during the season , i will watch , on average , two games per day ,
and rely on what my eyes (and sometimes my heart) tell me .

when it comes to sabermetrics , i understand some of the basic concepts ,
but , honestly , i don’t understand point-shares , and have given up reading those articles .

when it comes to graphs … puh-leeze …. what’s with all the squiggly lines and bell-curves ?
can’t you just explain it , in 250 words , or less ??

having said that , my ‘true’ sleeper for 2012 (and going forward , for those of you in keeper
and dynasty leagues) is ====> Henderson Alvarez .

i’m excited by this kid’s (latin21) talent , composure , and up-side .
i don’t give 2 shizzes of worry that he’s pitching in the AL east …. that which doesn’t kill you ,
only makes you stronger .
my expectations are that , given 25-30 starts , ten , maybe twelve , of them will be of cy young-caliber .

he is my 1st “true” sleeper , and i’m excited by that …. like a fly-fisherman stumbling upon a may-fly hatch .

i’m not as well-read as others , but i’ve not seen his name mentioned anywhere on the inter-webs .

from what i have read , i know that 3fingersbrown is targeting him this year , and someone , under
Grey’s emilio bonifacio post , mentioned that Alvarez would be on all of his teams (and that could have
been 3fingersbrown , again) , but other than Kiwi Steve asking Grey , about 10 days ago , “do you like
this guy (some shit-bum) or Henderson Alvarez ?” , and Grey telling him to go with the shit-bum ,
i’ve not seen his name appear in any article , by any expert , on any site .
nowhere .

so , now that my mystery guy has been revealed , you can laugh , point your fingers at me , provide
any sort of sabermetric reason ‘why’ he’ll be a complete flop … i don’t care .
scoff away .

personally , if i was you , i’d go out and immediately add him to your teams …. just in case my
crazy-azz has stumbled upon something decent and good .
unless you’re playing in one of my leagues , he’s available .

Do you grab Vargas for his start in Japan this week (we have a limit of 10 pickups per week).

Changing my name now haha

I know. This one!

Just read your post about Sean Marshall having the gig. He’s on waivers. Drop any of the above for him?

i have the 8th pick. i have 2 4th round picks (41 and 43 overall).

i would love to move up and take king fu panda. he’s one of (the best?) bat on the board. the guy in front of me is in desperate for hitters and a big time giants fan, so if panda didn’t go immediately, i’m 99% positive that he’d take panda at 7.

do i trade my 1st (8) and the 2nd 4th rounder (43) for #2 overall pick?

or should i sit tight, take panda if he’s there, otherwise just wait another round or 2 and take aroid or what several rounds and take aramis and then nab a guy like moustakas or gamel later for some upside?
