Fantasy Baseball

[HoyaSaxa03]

while the forum provides so much time for work diversions, i need a little diversity in my day, which is why fantasy sports are the best invention since sliced bread ....
 
 shit-talking is also essential to fantasy sports (and this board, it seems), so let's get a yahoo! baseball league going for the board .... any takers??
 
 be forewarned, i'm a sabermetrics nerd who much prefers to use 5x5 system like: OBP / SLG / HR / RBI / R ... WHIP / ERA / W / Ks / SVs

Environmental think tanks don't get much work these days, so they? And that wasn't really your "girlfriends" UVA shirt, was it?

Last year in our league a guy drafted Odalis Perez in the early rounds and I said, "Did you mean to say Oliver Perez?"
 
 He said, "Who's Oliver Perez?"
 
 I said "Nevermind."
 
 I drafted him in the next to last round.  And I named my team "Who's Oliver Perez?"

Perez had a sub 3.00 ERA in over 30 starts, with a greater than 1-1 SO to innings pitched ratio.  Only Randy Johnson was better.
 
 Jack Wilson hit .308 and had 201 hits as a shortstop.
 
 Jay Bay hit 26 HRs in his rookie season and he missed the first two months.
 
 Craig Wilson hit 29 HRs, despite having a plummeting batting average in the second half of the season.  Oh, and he was catcher eligible.
 
 I don't even need to mention Jason Kendall over the last 6 seasons.  He will be missed, (but his paycheck won't be).
 
 Jose Mesa had 43 saves on a sub .500 team.
 
 Anything else about the fantasy value of the Bucs?

Isn't all baseball fantasy? I mean doesn't ones mind tend to wander into fantasy while you're waiting for something to happen down on the field?
 
 And do you know why they have cheerleaders during runny-catchy games? So there's something interesting to see....
