I once posted a blog about how sim leagues are being taken too seriously, fun is being zapped from the life of leagues, etc. and well, it's still that way. The bickering and nonsense has escalated, treaties have been broken, wars amongst counties have broken out, you name it. It's probably happening. So I come to you all with fantastical ideas that will likely never be taken seriously, but maybe should be considered for upping the worthwhile of our fun little pseudo-fantasy leagues. Let's walk. ...

I did not believe in you. I saw Aaron Hill and Adam Lind, and thought you were a 15 minutes of fame fluke. I saw a horrendous K:BB ratio and thought.. he soon shall crash land on Earth. I did not have faith you would last, I did not believe in the idea, I did not foresee you actually.. improving.

Now, you are on the verge of 50 (or more) HOMERUNS, 110 (or more) RBI, and 100 (or more) WALKS. In fact, you only have 14 more strikeouts than walks. You have a very acceptable K:BB ratio, ...

Today I went to the Marlins-Reds game. It was hot out, like really hot. I was able to snag a pretty good special though as the Reds had a 'tailgate' offer where you could $35 tickets for $25 with a free $10 concessions voucher. Sweet, huh? Problem was though that as I sat directly in the sun (curious that so many people were choosing to stand in the shade, next to the misting fans) I chose to sit in the sun and baked. Hell, there was even some woman about two rows down, eight seats over who had ...

Sorry, I was distracted by the number of good starting pitchers being dealt lately. So with DK Olney's picks up for the AL, it is turn to counter with my own (and therefore he has to do the NL). Free corn chips all around!



Rookie of the Year
While the NL is loaded, the AL is just not exactly oozing with sex appeal. There's no starting pitching candidate, there's no big name story making waves, there's really not much crying out for attention. There is, however, ...
