12. Wait Til Next Year
The Incredible Hulka has sure done it. Jorge Posada is done. Adrian Gonzalez plays in Petco. Aviles and Theriot are iffy at their positions - Big Pappi might have lost a little bat speed and besides Johan the pitching staff is a question mark. Dempster should have a decent year but last year was the career year. Those 2 kats from MN pitchin don't strike any fear in me as well.

11. Bloomington Beers
Mauer is hurt, Pena, Polanco, Huff, Peralta round up the worst infield in the leauge (right behind myself). While CC and Lincecum are studs you gotta worry about CC's workload and Bedard and Wang are a little overratted.

10. Carlos "White Castle" Marmol
While I think this lineup can rake with the best of them - all these goddamn RP's don't make any sense to me. Santana and Kazmir are nice at the top of the rotation - but these RP's are blowing my mind.

9. Traspadeez Nutz
While Miggy and Webb can be the MVP and CY Young's of the AL and NL respectively there is a lot of question marks with this pitching staff. 2 Mariners + 1 Marlins starting rotation = 0% chance of winning the wins category in any given week. Atkins and M. Young are on the decline and C. Young and C. Jackson don't excite this guy.

8. Howhorekam Snatchsluggers
Mike Mussina - a pick I won't forget - the worst of the draft. Sizemore and Berkman are a great duo to have but the pitching staff leaves me wondering what was going on. AROD out for at least a month, Tulowitski's injury prone, Victorino, Ibanez and Thome are nothing outstanding. Alexei is that real interesting guy I personally had an eye for and if he can produce than this team will scrape together some wins in the second half of the year.

7. Boner Jamz '03
This team can be pretty dangerous but looks a little injury prone. The health of Chipper Jones, Dye, Beckett and Kerry Wood will be a concern all year. IF those guys can stay healthy this team might have championship written all over it. Pujols, Kinsler, Halladay and Billingsley are what this team is about but Hawpe, Werth, Rios is a major concern for me. John Baker hasn't impressed me but J.J. Hardy is significantly underratted for fantasy purposes. I'd watch out for this team.

6. Team Hedlin
Wieters and Kershaw are a year away from fantasy stardom. Jeter, Derosa, Nady, McClouth and Holliday all have question marks surrounding them. Jeter going to contribute? Derosa backin up a career year? Nady in NY? McClouth breakout year follow up? Holliday moving away from Coors? This team leaves me intrigued but I think it's a borderline playoff team assuming the pitching staff stays healthy.

5. Andre Dawsons Creek
Leon really came to draft. His team is littered with recent MVP's - Morneau, Pedroia and J-Ro will be a force. And despite the whispers I heard Dice-K, AJ, Lilly and Kuroda is quiety quite a nice little staff - not to mention Lidge never blowing a save. The OF is the main question mark here but that great infield and formidable pitchin staff will give teams some trouble.

4. Honey Nut Ichiros
Now you might say I'm biased because I commish the league and I make these rankings but lets look at the facts. Hamels, Peavy, Harden, Volquez, K-Rod, Nolasco, Danks, Meche and Buerhle is hands down the best pitching staff in the league - I expect to win 3/4 pitchin categories easily on a weekly basis. Utley, El Caballo, and Quentin though coming off injuries are the real deal. As is Joey Votto. Zimmerman and Lowrie have upside but how much is uncertain. The lineup lacks strong name recognition but could quietly have a nice season. Bench is not very good at all though and even slight injury problems can be devastating to this squad.

3. Batterbing Batterboom
Longoria, Reyes, Manny are SCARY. Delgado's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde trick leaves me uncertain about his upcoming season. Zambrano, Joba and Matt Cain can make or break weeks at a time. This team is pretty well protected by injuries bolstering one of the better if not the best benches in the league.

2. Your Fuckin Out I'm Fuckin In
Steve's passion for a 3-peat and his ability to scour the waivers on an hourly basis lead me to believe he wants this bad. Upton, Bradley and Ankiel are questionable in the outfield and the Fukudome / Pie backups are essentially worthless. There's enough help with one of the better infields, young pitching upside and the vastly underratted Ryan Ludwick to make you think you might be seeing Steven at the top of the leaderboards this year.

1. Turd Ferguson
The man with 3 first names who I don't know has assembled the best team here. If you think that you have a chance to win SB's against this guy - forget it. Having the best player in the game certainly helps this ranking. There isn't a guy in his lineup I wouldn't mind having - maybe I'm biased with Lee and Ramirez. Lee, Lester and Price are devastating pitchers (assuming Price is called up by May), not to mention Duchscherer helping out when not injured or getting out of the bullpen. I expcect this team to start off a little slow but there is a lot of power and speed to like with this team and the key will be if Aaron Harang can return to 2007 form you can crown Turd Ferguson's ass.

  2. Crazy, you need to invite everyone to the blog through their emails. I as well need to explain to you why I have given myself the handicap of waiting for the MOOSE to return to baseball as I plan on dominating throughout the year.
