Alex Gordon sucks

[DirtyKash]

Worst draft pick ever!!!

Even Richie freaking Sexson is hitting above .200!! Damnit!

Worst draft pick for me was Edwin Encarnacion.

Well.. if you wasted anything before round 20 on a risk pick... it would inherently be bad... but if you took a late round flier on either, it was still not a bad pick, as long as you were not starting them and you recognized other hot players to replace them with (Pence, Looper, etc)

Basically what I did, except that Garrett Atkins was my starter so I'm getting no production out of 3B. Couple that w/ Pujols having a bad year, Bill Hall not playing like last year and Felipe Lopez deciding not to steal bases and I've got the worst offense in the league.

I'm just the opposite.... in the league I had Atkins, I was covered by a mid round pick in Chipper Jones.... before Jones got hurt, I had traded Atkins for Beltre and David Weathers... now with Jones hurt, Beltre is filling in OK


In the league where I had drafted Encarnacion in the very late rounds, one I dropped him for Hunter Pence, the other I dropped him for BJ Upton...

I just kept quick on the draw... some of my risk late round picks I have done great with.... and the others I have done well with their replacements.... now if injuries would only leave me alone.... I'd be in even better shape than I am in now....

I'm starting to get things turned around. I picked up Hunter Pence and dropped Gordon. I've kept Atkins around b/c I can't believe he won't break out of this, but I picked up Casey Blake (1B, OF, 3B) who has been red hot and is a great bet in that Indians lineup. Then I benefitted from someone just dropping Michael Young who I think will play better after a cold start, so I'm going w/ a SS/3B rotation of Blake, Felipe Lopez, Michael Young, Bill Hall, and Atkins. Not great, not terrible, but it gets me by until Atkins and Pujols can start stepping it up.

The pitching staff of Peavy, Bedard, King Felix, Harang, Oliver Perez, and Halladay is what's keeping me in it though.

wow Gordon actually got a hit today, 1-for-5 outing that actually raised his batting average.

[DirtyKash]

4-for-4 with 2 runs scored!!!
