I’m afraid this entry might be very boring to many of my readers. Sorry. This afternoon I drafted my fantasy baseball team, which happens to be called The Raging Chlorophyll. I’m in an ESPN head-to-head league that contains twelve teams. I drafted from the 9th position. So here they are:
C – Carlos Ruiz
C – Ronny Paulino
1B – Ryan Howard
2B – Brian Roberts
3B – Garrett Atkins
SS – Michael Young
2B/SS – Aaron Hill
1B/3B – Carlos Pena
OF – Alfonso Soriano
OF – Jeff Fancoeur
OF – Shane Victorino
OF – Pat Burrell
OF – Michael Cuddyer
UTIL – Frank Thomas
SP – Chris Young
SP – Brett Myers
P – Brad Penny
P – Rich Harden
P – Miguel Batista
P – B.J. Ryan
P – Brad Lidge
RP – Tom Gordon
RP – Carlos Marmol
I hate to spend picks on closers, so I picked up two (Lidge and Ryan) from the scratch and dent bargain bin in the late rounds of the draft. I also picked up Gordon and Marmol as potential closers, figuring they provide some help in the Ks, ERA, and WHIP categories even if they aren’t closing currently.
I am very excited that I managed to land Soriano and Howard at 9 and 16.
Play ball!
