@Chris: Shit, these hit too close to home for some of my teams.

You drafted Travis Hafner, “knowing” he would rebound to 40+ homer status.

Ryan Zimmerman was your third base “sleeper” for ‘08.

Verlander, Sabathia, and Gallardo were your top 3 SP.

You did not draft a reliable closer, and instead ended up with Borowski, Hoffman, and C.J. Wilson.

You are considering adding David DeJesus as an “upgrade” in your outfield.

You got pissed when Jeff Keppinger got injured.

-You drafted Erick Aybar as a sleeper pick in the second-to-last round, only to drop him after two weeks…and scramble to grab Clint Barmes two weeks later to fill a MI need

-You finally decided enough was enough with Jack Cust and cut him…and then he was named AL Batter of the week

-You’re sending Prince Fielder freeze-dried packages of steaks in the mail, to help speed up the “getting hot” process

-You’ve spent $1.50 in fifty-cent FA pickups on Manny Acosta

You went for it all and hoped for big years from Liriano, Hill, Gallardo, and Hughes

You are seriously considering picking up and starting a roster full of guys that get very few AB’s and IP’s because it is the only way to slow the rate at which your AVG and pitching ratios are worsening.

You have more than one Molina in your starting lineup.
Your hitters get pinch-hit for by Micah Owings and Adam Wainwright
You have no Dominicans or Venezuelans on your team.
Your first baseman has C or 2B eligibility
You have 5 players from your ‘home team’ and you live in Kansas City or DC
Your best hitter keeps losing at bats in real life to an Aybar or an Izturis.
Chris Berman doesn’t even bother to come up with nicknames for your players.
Tim Kurkjian’s voice doesn’t crack when he talks about your players.
Your best OF goes 0 for 5 with a run and you do the Tiger Woods arm pump.
