So, it’s the beginning of week three. I agree that if I were running away with the league already at this point I’d be writing a column on how important the first two weeks of the season are. Seeing how I’ve gotten off to my predicted slow start, this column will be used analyzing anomalies that have come up to start our season:
1) Ian Kinsler is the number one rated fantasy player in all of fantasy baseball. He wasn’t kept and Craig and Cousin both jumped on him faster than Big Papi jumps on a Ho-Ho. He was given to Cousin after a single coin toss. Is he going to end the year number one? No, but I could envision him staying in the top 20 all year.
2) Bobby Abreu is leading the majors with seven steals. Are you kidding me? Something happens to players once they hear that I pick Nasty to finish last. This bastard will probably end up swiping 100 bags by year’s end.
3) Three out of the top 25 hitters were chosen in the first round. Throw in Santana as the only pitcher selected in the first round and you have four players in the top 30 or so. Do I think this trend will continue? Absolutely. Every year players we all thought would be locks, end up pooping on themselves. Not good for anyone.
4) Two correct predictions so far- Truth is off to a fast start and looks impressive through two weeks and Quevin has now officially been eliminated from playoff contention.
5) Pitchers and closers have been impossible to figure out. Besides my boy, Santana, has anyone else had two consecutive great starts? I just had to look to see how the pitchers ranked. Here we go (as you could’ve all guessed this top four): Santana, Greinke, Millwood, and Glen Perkins. Yup, Glen Perkins… not that the others are any less remarkable, but Mr. Perkins is there for the taking boys. Pretend he’s a Ho-Ho and you’re Big Papi.
6) Anyone heard of “F” my life . com? My wife thinks it’s the funny website out there. Anyways, I keep thinking about this as I don’t have high speed internet or a power charger for my laptop, so I must abruptly end this blog. F My Life!
