Roto-recap - Things Done Correctly

Yes, I must admit, the last few weeks were enjoying. How fun it is to slam fellow-owners for their irreversible mistakes. Over that time, the fearless forecaster has expended too much energy identifying the errors of his peers. Instead, for the roto-memoirs, the fearless forecaster will identify good things that were accomplished. Here goes:

1. Mr. Mazin – the best thing done by Mr. Slimfast was his exit to Cleveland. He was able to personally scout The Tribes stadium. Unfortunately the team was sunning themselves elsewhere. Good luck with the no-names.
2. The AA crew – No doubt this team benefited from the absence of UA. Quality picks through the first half of the draft. UA’s weekend oversight and the menstrual cycle of Toni hurt them down the stretch.
3. The Busters or is it The Bursters – nice power, nice RBI’s, nice power, nice RBI’s. Too bad there are seven other categories.
4. The Red Head – what a collection of speed merchants! and some offense.. What a pitching disaster. Stay away from further reading of whatever put you up to this strategy. We’ll be waiting for the “you want to trade” e-mails.
5. Hans – The saying goes that you cannot win it in the first ten picks. Unfortunately you can lose it. The good news is that your last several picks were no worse than many of your others. The seasonal pain will be never-ending.
6. Ike – the good news is that his Scotch was great. Did anyone ever track quality of Ike’s pick to the time of day he made it? There is undoubtedly a direct relationship between Scotch consumed and his mental stability.
7. Mr. One Liner – The best that can be said about this owner’s actions over the last few weeks is his vast vocabulary. Thank you for that consistent attention grabbing expression…EAT ME… I think his roto-team was eaten by ineptness.
8. The tree chopper – Actually a quality draft, somewhat of a surprise. Now the ICC should verify that he has the entry fee available considering his other current liabilities.
9. Mags – has a lock on the pitching stats. Unfortunately he also has a permanent reservation for the basement in the offensive categories. The fearless forecaster predicts that this owner will win the category: “Owner who made the most deals.” Sobo move over.
10. Wannabee attorney – A great draft….when Mel was in town. Mel left, destruction arrived. Maybe Preppy should follow the practice of UA.
11. Our COMPAQ hanger-on – The best thing that can be said about his performance is that only one of his players is currently on the disabled list. Also his no-risk, no-reward drafting attitude is commendable, but will be costly.
12. Terry, dear draft buddy – well you tried admirably and you should be complimented for that. Unfortunately you failed, again.
13. Willo – Superb: strength, vision, balance…the only question that remains is whether it is first, second or third in each category.

What fun… good luck and peace to all!
