You left the draft scratching your head. Those (other) morons let you get many of your top pick desires and you filled our your team with mainly All-Star calibre players or guys with good upside. You ended up with:



Prince Fielder

Carlos Delgado

Robinson Cano

Mark Reynolds

Kenji Johjima

Jorge Posada

Billy Butler

Lastings Milledge

Nick Swisher

Eric Byrnes

Jeff Francoeur

Mark Teahen

Edgar Renteria

Khalil Greene



Oops! You are now looking at a .242 BA, 238 R, 46 HR, 245 RBI, and 18 SB. Not good. Well, I really took advantage of the yokels and got a STRONG pitching staff:



C.C. Sabathia

Roy Oswalt

Justin Verlander

Brett Myers

Ian Snell

Chad Cordero

Rafael Soriano

Manuel Corpas

Jeff Francis



Oops! Time to drink. You have 13 W and 5 SV, an ERA of 5.601, a WHIP of 1.568, and 280 K's.



OK, my team is not this bad, but nearly and many of us have too many of players like these that we could add to the list (by the way, none of the batters on this list had ADP's greater than the 17th round and I think the latest pitcher was the 13th). Actually, I purposefully left off several of my players as just too embarassing.



Anybody should be replaced on this list as being bigger early season bombs (say, no one with and ADP greater than the 20th Round)? And who will turn it around?
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

ya- i gotta laugh. with round 4- second pick- wanted a second basemen. between kinsler and cano. had just drafted chris young. so, since i had 30 steals and a .235 ba- i figured cano was the choice for his +300 ba. ya, that is working out!
