1-10 Round players who under performed or the 'WTF was I thinking!?!' list:





1. Jason Bay- Like another Jason, only hits on Friday 13th



2. Nick Markakis- Middle name is "Millie"



3. Aaron Hill- Plays better concussed



4. Pablo Sandoval- Bamboo diet?



5. Adam Lind- Owners scream his full name, without the opening 'A'



6. Jose Lopez- Still, cleanup numbers in Seattle



7. Gordon Beckham- Ozzie finally found the perfect place in the lineup for him, the 9-hole



8. Ben Zobrist- A better '10th player'?



9. Derek Lee- Chris Young, Zambrano, and his owners all feel the same way about him



10. Lance Berkman- Can you say Giambi or Stairs or Edmonds?





The Insurance List or the 'At least I can rationalize and blame my Season on this guy' List





1. Kendry Morales- Everbody walked off, but him



2. Jacoby Ellsbury- Beltre= Punch, Ellsbury= Judy



3. Grady Sizemore- A regular at the rock n roll Hall of Fame



4. Ian Kinsler- He makes an insurance decision easy



5. Kevin Youkilis- Still walking... somewhere



6. Jason Bay- He could have done owners a favor by getting hurt earlier



7. Dustin Pedroia- Not a good year to be a Red Sox



8. Brian Roberts- 'I could be back next week'...repeat 13 times. Fantasy owners could have dropped him in April and been a lot better off.



9. Justin Morneau- Along with Morales, the only guy really helping owners before hurt



10. Manny Ramirez- Manny being Granny





Disappointments List

or the 'I wasted a High Pick for this shittt?!?!' list- (No injuries)





1. Matt Kemp- Can't the Dodgers just let this guy play?

They've done for him what the Yankees have done for Joba



2. BJ Upton- Judy is here, Punch didn't come to the dance



3. Joe Mauer- No punch, no Judy, no first rounder



4. Chone Figgins- Hitting behind Ichiro was supposed to drive opposing teams nuts, not his owners



5. Curtis Granderson- What have we learned? We've learned that no matter the uniform, Granderson cannot hit lefties



6. Jonathon Broxton- Some kind of hidden injury, right?



7. Howie Kendrick- Has more at bats than any other Angel, yet is not in their top 3 for runs or rbi. As empty of stats as possible for a player with potential over a full season. Star value at AAA, ordinary at the Big level



8. Raul Ibanez- Those who bought into last year are disappointed



9. Julio Borbon- We can just call him Ju. Half a Judy



10. Justin Upton- Leading the league in Uptons means not leading the fantasy league





The Breakout Year List

or the 'Damn I'm Smart' List





1. Martin Prado- Multi Positional, multi categorical



2. Josh Hamilton- Screw steroids, give my hitters what he's taking



3. Carlos Gonzalez- Five tools, five cats, five thousand dollars for most owners



4. Delmon Young- This year, the Garza, Bartlett trade doesn't look so laughable



5. Chris Young- Have you looked? He has the best chance of 30-30. Now at 22-25



6. Alexis Rios- Plays like he belongs on the Southside



7. Scott Podsednik- Fodder for those that say speed can be taken late. Playing for two crappy teams in real baseball, he has made fantasy teams a lot better



8. Angel Pagan- Not even the Mets can screw him up. A keeper.



9. Andres Torres- The guy can't do much more. Yet, with the additions of Burrell and Guillen, he'll now have to cover three fields defensively. Don't be surprised by an injury soon.



10. Jose Bautista- I haven't talked to one fantasy person that thinks Bautista will repeat what he has done this year, next year. This year's owners don't care. Stats are in the bank.

Next year, he'll be the Mark Reynolds of 2010, when selected, most owners will mumble, "Good, I wasn't going to take him".
