18-18 ain't 20-20 eddie

i think for his avg draft position, rios should have been on the list.

and if the list was longer, i would put any offensive player i drafted, as they all have pretty much sucked to varying degrees.

On pace is usually done by the middle of May.

Soon, it'll be either, "If his second half is like his first half" or "If he could just turn it around in the second half"

Two more gems for consideration: Conor Jackson and Jose Valverde. Also, Delmon Young deserves a nod, but it's tough to put a mid-teen pick into the top 5.

David Ortiz wins out as overall bust.

Ortiz joins Andruw Jones and Jason Giambi in just having their skills (strength)disappear for a long period of time.

Most likely, enhancments had something to do with it. Sort of like a 60 to zero effect.

With Giambi in the news virtually admitting to steroids, it was easy for the Yankees. They tried to send him down and when he wouldn't go, he was benched for long periods of time. Tougher for the Jones and Ortiz Managers. No real proof except for the pathetic performance.

Hey Eddie---did you miss anyone on that top 25 list of fantasy bums? Well done.

Lastings Milledge needs to be in the Top 25 for sure - anyone who over-drafted him was thinking 20/20 out of him-not a wasted pick.

Alex Gordon, Doumit, Nolasco....

Although, all these players are on pace to have a bad year.

A "bust" and a "segway" in the same picture. Good segue.

Nolasco does belong on the top 25 as he has destroyed my era and whip in the ultimate.Im 14th in era and 14th in whip thank's too him and Floyd.

Floyd has pitched 4 good starts in a row.I will take Rollins off the list and Nolasco is now on the 25 worst of the first third of the season.

Ahh Nolasco! Finally gets his due. I feel your pain Eddie - he's killed both of my Online pitching staffs. I almost said singlehandedly, but he had accomplices. Most of them of course have been launched into exile, but Nolasco is one of those pitchers that you count on as a staff stabilizer (Based on last years second half which continued into spring this year) and is given more time to correct than others. Which is why his performance to date has been so toxic to his owners. It's one thing to be of no help, quite another to put up performance after performance that just kill your ratios! Prior to his recall the only time I think I didn't play him was on his visit to Colorado, which happened to be his best performance of the year! Congratulations Ricky-you've truly earned and deserve inclusion on this top 25 list.
