Fantasy Baseball: It’s All Over

Unlike Andre, I'm not celebrating this post-season

It’s a sad week as we see the Yankees roll through the playoffs and the Sox swept out in the first round.

Baseball has been long over for me, fantasy baseball ended with the regular season- here’s how I did this year:

DC-Boston League

Beltway Bandits (258-190-146)

3rd place in the playoffs

The playoffs fell pretty much in line with regular season standings. After finishing in 3rd I ended up placing third in the playoffs.

Best Draft Pick: My last round pick? Andre Ethier. W huge bargain for 31 HRs, 106 RBIs, and an average that didn’t kill you.

Worst Draft Pick: It’s a tie between my second round pick of Alfonso Soriano and third round pick B.J. Upton. I expected strike outs but not a .240 average. You both suck.

Best Waiver Wire Pick-Up: Mark Reynolds and Kendry Morales became every day starts for me after the Chris Davis experiment crashed and burned.

Ami League

A-Roid’s Cousin (141-98-25)

4th place in the playoffs

Oddly enough the same thing happened in this league too, an uneventful playoffs as mostly everything went chalk.

Best Draft Pick: While my team always had starting pitching problems, Wandy Rodriguez really came out to be a top starting pitcher this year. Good thing I grabbed him in the late rounds.

Worst Draft Pick: This one is hard to tell but I think I paid too high for Alexei Ramirez in the 5th round.

Best Waiver Wire Pick-Up: He isn’t a big waiver wire name but Miguel Montero quickly replaced Chris Iannetta, now I have to think if I am going to up Iannetta for next year.

Well that’s it for baseball this year, maybe next year the Sox (and I) will do better.
