This league is on ESPN and I drew the first pick of the draft. In the second round, the order reversed, and it continued this way throughout the draft. I had picks 1 and then 20, 21, etc.

I was going to draft Chase Utley is I drew anything but the first pick in the draft because he is heads above any other second baseman in most stats. But since I drew the number once, I had to go with Albert Pujols.

The Jason Isringhausen pick is a little iffy, but I drafted Adam Wainwright as a backup. Wainwright will start in the rotation, but if Izzy gets hurt, look for Wainwright to go back to closing games like he did at the end of the regular season and throughout the playoffs. I'm a little worried about the Juan Pierre and Dave Roberts picks, but they are going to get me stolen bases, so they are useful in that department.

All in all, I felt I had a solid draft. I may have waited too long to grab a catcher, but I think Ramon Hernandez will suffice.

We'll see how "Hiram Bocachica and the Posse" does this season. I may post fantasy updates throughout the season. Let's see if I can regain my glory after a down year across the board for all of my fantasy teams.

Providing coverage of terrible baseball teams, and ridiculing everything just doesn't provide the in-depth coverage you need to. Wait why the hell are you reading this? Before anyone posts any predictions on this season, I shall leave you the reader reasons to make fun of me and call me stupid. To do this I will go into a Yahoo League draft and post my heroic story of how I probably finished in 8th place and forgot to set my rotation for 3 weeks on a NyQuil bender.

Pick 5th out of 12
My Yahoo Draft:
1. (5) Chase Utley 2B (A bit high, but I wanted a middle infielder)
2. (20) Travis Hafner Util (Pronk)
3. (29) Joe Mauer C (Solidify the difficult to get positions first)
4. (44) Brandon Webb SP
5. (53) Carlos Delgado 1B
6. (68) Félix Hernández SP
7. (77) Carlos Guillén SS
8. (92) Jered Weaver SP (I hate the Angels)
9. (101) Dan Haren SP (Default Oakland Ace)
10. (116) Jonathan Papelbon RP (Starting but I can sneak him in as a reliever)
11. (125) Hank Blalock 3B (Some bastard took Chavez)
12. (140) Jim Thome Util (12th round, trade bait)
13. (149) J.D. Drew OF
14. (164) Coco Crisp OF
15. (173) Michael Cuddyer 1B,OF
16. (188) Barry Bonds OF (For Josh)
17. (197) Paul Lo Duca C (I thought he was eligible at 1b, oops)
18. (212) Taylor Tankersley RP (Marlins closer)
19. (221) Aubrey Huff 3B,OF (I think he should rebound, position eligible)
20. (236) Joel Piñeiro SP,RP (Possible Sox closer)
21. (245) Seth McClung SP,RP (Possible Devil Rays closer)

Thome in the 12 is retarded. Ridicule away!
