The Top 10: Fantasy Baseball Draft

As I get ready for our 17Th Annual Fantasy Baseball Draft, here is a list of the top 10 things I will hear tonight during our draft:

10. I will give you my 14th pick for your 1st pick ... you'll save salary!

9. I can't believe you took that player that early. I was going to take him 5 rounds later!

8. I did not know he retired/is injured and out for the season. My brother, (Terry Allen football), I'm still laughing 18 years later?!?!

7. Someone will say that the player is listed playing multiple positions in my wife's Sunset Magazine Fantasy Baseball Issue or insert any other off the wall publication.

6. I thought I had more salary available, I need to trade down.

5. I have to run a quick errand. I should be back before (insert a name here) finally makes his pick. ZZZZZZ!

4. What? I already have 5 pitchers ... owner picking a player that he does not need.

3. Anyone have an updated cheatsheet? I haven't been crossing out players picked and I need !

2. Last round: 5 or 6 guys saying, "I have the ultimate sleeper pick" Only Mr. Wise Guys' truly is Mr. Sleeper Pick)!

1. Every player after the draft ... On paper this is my year (exception Ry).


This not a Top 10, but once again I will remind everyone -- if it weren't for that $%#@ hurricane during the playoffs 2 years ago, I would have won my 5th title.

  2. Who? I have been the most dominate player and had the most dominate teams of all time. So dominate that the scoring was changed twice by the old commish to devalue pitching. When a player is so good he changes the game, that is true greatness.

    And It only took an act of God (hurricane) to stop me from winning it all. See I told you I would remind everyone about the $%#@ hurricane!

    See everyone tonight!
