Dallas McPherson was the fantasy dork of the year the 1st time I played fantasy. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for DM. Im sure somebody still has him on their minor league roster.

I swear I once offered by entire team to get Joel Pineiro. I was sure that guy was going to be GREAT.

And I still couldn’t close the deal, because my would-be trading partner loved him, too.

It’s a list of every stupid fantasy baseball draft pick I ever made. This guy’s gonna break out this year! I know it!

Patterson is easily one of the better players on that list. He is just a replacement level utility OF at this point, but that’s more value than most of the above players are able to provide.

That looks like the roster of the Rays back in the early 2000′s!

Oh, you know, “intangibles,” clubhouse chemistry,” that kind of thing.

When I looked at the big list, this name immediately popped out at me: Daniel Cabrera. The prototypical “million dollar are am and ten cent head.”

I remember being pissed when the Cubs signed Edmonds because I thought it would hurt Felix Pie’s development.
