WHAT?
These players are not secrets! They've been around for years. Whether I give my opinion three weeks ago or now, the players do not change.
I doubt that folks will now move Granderson up their lists simply because I think he'll repeat his numbers.
Last week, I talked a lot about upcoming drafts with Bob Mazur. In short, Bob knows his stuff.
He's a three time winner in the NFBC.
In our conversations, we shared what every fantasy drafter owns. Our shitlist.
Every owner has one, but few talk about it.
A player can get on your shitlist because of a number of things.
He may have killed you in the past.
He may have done something off the field that cannot be forgiven.
He may be a jerk. He may be lazy. A suspected boozer. A PED suspect.
Anything.
Colby Rasmus is a shitlister for me.
When Rasmus came up, I thought he was a toolsy player who could be a fantasy dream.
He's blamed hitting coaches, his dad, Tony LaRussa,the Cardinals, whoever.
It's never HIM.
He has never lived up to his potential.
He reminds me of a past shitlister.
It's only fitting that as JD Drew leaves the game and thus, my shitlist, that Rasmus take his place.
Like Drew, Rasmus will probably put it all together and have one great year.
And like Drew, that one great year and potential for others will make him a bunch of money.
Good for him and good for the guy that drafts him that year.
It won't be me.
One more note....
I'm not playing strategy with these postings. What I write is what I feel.
I own Granderson in a couple of drafts where I drafted from the back end.
Rasmus is not, and will not be on any of my teams this year.
And before I get a PM from my friend once again, I doubt that drafters will avoid Rasmus only because he is on my shitlist.
If I made YOUR shitlist because of it, so be it
