I hate sports...

I figured since I did a lengthy post about how awesome I thought my rotisserie baseball draft went, that I might as well do a follow up on it. This is the trophy I am fighting for every year. I designed it, so let's call it the Rochester Cup. Believe it or not, my team is solidly in third...from the bottom. I should've just paid a hooker $60 to kick me in the balls (and I have). I would've gotten the same results. Let's recap my draft again:

1. Luis Castillo ($6): He is hitting . 261 with 13 SB's and 42 R's. This is not too bad for the price or the position. The problem is he is hold and he gets hurt all the damn time. I had to pick up Ronnie "Re" Belliard to fill the holes that he leaves all the time. I am willing to bet that the clubhouse showers has a rail in it so Luis doesn't slip and break his hip in there. RATING: B-


2. R. Pauilino ($1): Not enough AB's and didn't do much with them when he had them. Kind of like me with my looks. I dropped him for Jason Kendal and then I dropped him for Kelly Shoppach. I wish Misty May would take my example and drop Matt Treanor for me. RATING: F


3. G. Maddux ($11): Oooooooh LAWD! Don't get me started on this one. 1 out of 4 starts he looks like a stud. It is those 3 other starts that'll get you. However, my league is so deep that I'll take any of the starters I can get. So... RATING: D+


4. R. Sexson ($10): Um, I believe I just said, "Oooooooh LAWD! Don't get me started on this one." He was on pace for 30 HR, I was not wrong with that one, but he was also on pace to hit .190 on the worst team in the AL. Then the Yankees picked him up so now I have a $10 pinch hitter on my team who might hit a HR every other night if Giambi need to wax his mustache in the bottom of the 6th. Yikes! RATING: D-


5. T. Gordon ($10): I needed him at the time. I never expected to keep him past when Lidge came back. He was an answer to a question that no one asked. I just kind of wish I didn't spend that mcuh money on him. I dropped him, so I still kind of have that money for next year now. Not bad. RATING: B-


6. Jack Cust ($15): He is a lot like Sexson. Big on HR's (20) but little on average (.221). He can bash it, but when he slumps...look out! OF's are in short supply in my league. I doubt, that I'll keep him until next year. So, gimme my HR's, but no eye contact, Jack. RATING: C+


7. Lyle Overbay ($4): He has slumped that last month, but was hitting around .280 for a little bit. He isn't hitting for average, but gets a lot of AB's and has a bunch of H's. I saved a bunch of money on him and still stand by my pick. RATING: C


8. David DeJesus ($12): Been playing very well for the upstart Royals OF. He is hitting .290 with the occasional HR. Not bad, but my lineup needs a lot more then that. A good value pick. RATING: B


9. Tony A. Pena ($5): Not really getting the save yet. I guess in my reliever crazy league this may turn out to be a good pick next year. Ho-hum. RATING: C-


10. Rick VandenHurk ($9): Optioned to the minors by Marlins. Dropped from my team. That's what happens when you trust the Dutch. RATING: F

Overall, my rating of the draft was a D+. Better cut some wait and make some better moves for next year.
