This is the longest time I have spent working straight on anything all year, if not my entire scholastic career.
DiceK will Teabag U (Z-Math):
Your offense is mediocre. Utley is gold at second, Hanley is sick (feeling the Red Sox farm system pride) and everyone knows about my man-crush on Pronk, but other than that, simply too many question marks. Rolen is aging and brittle, I love Rios but he still carries risk, Crede’s back is failing, J.D. Drew…well, nuff said. That being said, your staff is a formidable one. You stole Burnett before me, and I think he should have a great year to compliment Carpenter and Bonderman at the top of your rotation. The workload eventually caught up to Verlander last season, and it will be interesting to see how he responds to a second full year in the bigs.
Best Pick: Burnett is solid, but I like Francisco Cordero. His first half numbers in Arlington skew his dominant performance in Milwaukee.
Worst Pick: A.J. Pierzynski. Simply the biggest fucking square in the entire league.
phil didit again eww (Harrison):
A lot of pop here. A ton. A shit load. A shit and a ton. Howard and Delgado are typical first-base mashers, A-Ram could hit 50, Glaus provides huge power at short, Jones could get 50…Of course, as a result, you could fall in hits and average, and you have basically punted steals. Your pitching on the other hand…excuse me while I wipe the diarrhea that I just barfed out my mouth. That’s how sick I am. Liriano…well, you probably knew that he’s out, so that’s ok. Dice-K and Zito, I think they will both do well this year, but not as your top two fantasy starters. You should trade Kenny Rogers to Clay.
Best Pick: I’m just going to say Jones and Ramirez, because I love them this year.
Worst Pick: Rodrigo Lopez? His ERA has gone from 3.59 to 4.90 to 5.90 over the last three seasons…now he’s moving to Colorado. I still have absolutely no idea how it even crossed your mind to draft him.
Bubblingyeastvag (Archie):
A-Rod, Sheffield, Matsui, and Manny are rocks on offense. You compliment them well with speed from Figgins, Pierre, and your bench guys, but maybe just a little too much. It would be better if you had another reliable bat other than Chipper. Your pitching isn’t bad either. Oswalt is the only other player in the majors who I might have more of a man-crush on than Pronk, and C.C. is just a good pitcher, plain and simple. Prior’s stock is absolute diarrhea right now, and that was really sweet of you to take my advice on Bush.
Best Pick: Kei Igawa. No hype, a lot of talent. Could do very well. Bush doesn’t count, because I told you to draft him earlier.
Worst Pick: Prior. Though waiting for the actual season is best, his career might as well be donated to the Upper Decking company so we can put him in some guys toilet and watch the brown water come out oh-so-gloriously.
rapexrippin’cock (John):
Simply put, you made a lot of your picks too early. Morneau? Cain? Young? All ridiculously ahead of where they should have been picked. It is not a smart strategy to pick guys who you think are going to be studs as your studs. It is very unlikely that Uggla will repeat, Delmon Young is the only bright spot in a flaccid (yeah, like a limp penis) outfield. Your pitching is solid, given the fact you punted saves completely. The Papelbon pick was also way early, but between him, Cain, Wainwright, and Santana, you have a lot of upside. Homer Bailey has one of the best names ever, but he might only give you half a season, at best.
Best Pick: The Reyes pick was a no-brainer, but at four that’s great value. Zambrano is the winner though. He is a fat, chubby, beast.
Worst Pick: Morneau. Way too much talent was available there, and you blocked a very deep position while passing it all up.
ankles and not yets (Clay):
I am tempted to just say “no comment”, as this performance warrants little respect, but whatever. Upton is not playing, Barry is an awful #2 outfielder. I like Haren a lot, and Big Unit could have a good final hurrah in Zona but… oh fuck it. No comment. I’m still interested in a trade for Pizza, though.
1yr ago rj + js eeew (Alex):
Good name. Not sure I’ve ever seen the “e” drawn out in “ew”. Nice touch. What we have here is the most biased approach to any fantasy sport…ever. Just draft black people! Another nice touch. No catcher, like Clay. Nice. You have four Brewers, you picked O-Dog, and you picked Nook Logan. Your pitching is awful. Halladay is great, and though he’s good, Kelvim is not a #2. Good relievers, but the bottom four of your rotation are simply terrible. Oh, yeah, and about your smack talk. You have some of the slowest players in the league on your team. Not all black people have fast-twitch muscle fibers dude. Ugh, fuck. I should have just said “no comment”.
DodgersSuckMooseCock (Rgay):
Ok, I haven’t brought this up yet, but how can you so clearly copy me? My name on the online chess site was EvanSucksMooseCock. You are such a fucking biter. Your offense is solid. You seem to like Kendrick a lot, but he really under-whelmed last year. He has a nice swing, though, so whatever. You’re lacking a bit in speed, but overall your offense is solid. Very good outfield. Your pitching is decent. The Bedard pick makes up for the Smoltz age-risk. I know you like Garcia, but he’s moving from one hitters park to another, and he just gives up too many hits for me to like him.
Best Pick: Bedard. I think he is in for an amazing season.
Worst Pick: I don’t really like the B.J. Ryan pick, just because you could have beefed up your staff a bit with that round 5 selection, and you’re smart enough to get saves later.
|-O-| TIE FIGHTERS!! (Me):
I’ll keep the analysis of my own team brief. RJ, I disagree with you a lot on Gonzo. And I really, really would like to know where this “everywhere” is that you read your fantasy advice. Is the place that says Piazza won’t do well as a full-time DH the same place that told you Bonds would be a top-15 outfielder? Piazza hit 22 homeruns and hit .283 in 399 Abs last season. Give him a full season without catching duties…bingo, bango, top-3 catcher producer. Also, if you consider my starting pitching a weak point, then, I guess you’re all fucked. And no, I do not read Eric Gay-abell. I realize that wasn’t brief. Suck a whore.
Best Pick: I was worried about my power later on, so I was happy to nab the three young hitters I did (Shealy, Quentin, and Hermida). Also, I fully expect cunt-fuck Salomon Torres to lose his closing job to Capps in about…two minutes.
Worst Pick: Probably the Baldelli pick. I do like his upside, but admittedly it was early.
THE Pat Ryan (Mark):
Having read Ian’s and RJ’s flaccid (yeah, like a fucking limp dick) attempts at reviews, I won’t reiterate. You cover every category well. Simply put, your offense is teh rox0rz, except for Beltre. What a fuck. And Kent. What a bigger fuck. Your pitching, on the other hand, is fucking terrible. Hill, while a nice prospect and Trevor’s dad, is a barf-inducer. In case you haven’t noticed, Vazquez is just not a good pitcher. At all. Shit, I just diarrhead out some barf. That’s how grossed out I am looking at this staff.
Best Pick: Chris Ray. Got him right before me. He’s a solid option at closer. However, given the fact he’s your only legit closer, he’s pretty much worthless.
Worst Pick: A bad average and OK power at a very deep position? Adrian Beltre is teh fux0r 2 teh m4x.
Viagra The Other HGH (Trevor):
Your offense isn’t anything to jerk off at. Mauer is nice, but V-Mart at first base? Starting two guys who play catcher is bad news bears, you big thilly billy. Barfield is a good young hitter who should do well in Cleveland and Guillen has a load of talent, but your weak-as-bitch outfield negates everything. You need to swing one of your FIVE first basemen for an outfielder, pronto. Pitching is strong at the top with Johan/Sheets/Harang. Closers are solid as well. But they’re followed by a sharp drop-off. If Sheets goes down again…you better hope for some waiver wire phenoms.
Best Pick: Helton. The ability to buck the trend and simply draft pure talent is a good ability to have. Though every single offensive category has declined for Helton over the years, he was a good value where you got him.
Worst Pick: Giles and Alou. These guys are so far removed from the days they had any fantasy relevance. I would never draft either of them.
upperdeckdiarrheajizz (Kremer):
The offense is solid. You have the two best fat guys in the game (Papi and El Caballo, also the best nicknames). Tejada is a rock at 3rd, and Abreu should have a very fine year. Juan Rivera is someone I’ve always rooted for, but I can’t see him putting together a full season…ever. And Elijah Dukes is not playing. The pitching is poop. I loved Weaver last year, but would not want him as my #1 by any means. Capuano is good, and so is Johnson when he returns, but other than that…eh.
Best Pick: Reyes. If he puts together a full season, watch out. Good young talent.
Worst Pick: Jered Weaver. If my memory serves me correct, you said it was “the pick of the draft”. Not at all, by any means. It’s not a bad pick, really, but I’m just putting it here because of your comment.
poopy slurppy yum (Ian):
The defending champion. A lot of questions on offense. Nomar? Ibanez (look at his career numbers. Anytime a 30-something year old puts together by far his best season ever, it’s not happening again)? Will Francouer and Markakis live up to the hype? Mora seems past his prime, and Kevin Mench is not starting. The pitching is good. You did well to hand-cuff Saito with Broxton, but still your saves are weak. If Harden and Kazmir stay healthy, the hydra of Webb plus those two could be unstoppable.
Best Pick: Harden. Too much talent to pass up.
Worst Pick: Ichiro. 17th overall? Are you fucking me in the ass? Are you cutting open my head and diarrhea-ing on my brains? Contract year means nothing to him. He’s fucking Asian, and Asians are weird. If you don’t believe me, look at the post below you.
Predicted Order of Finish:
- Me
- RJ

- Z-Math
- Kremer
- Archie

- John
- Harrison

Kind of based on post-draft results, but also I will eat a diarrhea popsicle if anyone of the bottom 3 crack the top…9. Not really.
Holy fuck you guys better read that. Time to eat some more Soft Baked Cookies and sleep. Huzzah!
