Worthless and Weak

You're all worthless and weak!

I'm in a fantasy baseball team. Its pretty fun. Last year, I watched a game where Casey Fossum struck out Yankee after Yankee after Yankee. And I thought to myself, "he is gonna be pretty good." I read a bit more to confirm this suspicion, that Casey Fossum is going to be great, so I ranked him relatively high in the draft. Of course, I got him, because nobody else on my fantasy team wanted him. Anyway, so he was the only Red Sox starting pitcher I had. And I actually had very bad pitchers, so I was able to trade Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams (who both suck) for Pedro Martinez and Adam Dunn. That was an awesome trade on my part. Anyway, so then I had both Pedro and Casey, and I also had Byung-Hyun Kim. And Greg Maddux, who hasn't been the hall of fame player he previously was. Anyway, so I have them and a bunch of crappy, injured players. So, I slowly roll over my pitching staff, getting better ones, dropping bad ones. Sometimes getting an offensive player for a pitcher, etc etc. A week or so ago, I notice in the transactions window that somebody dumped Derek Lowe. Now, this is because he hasn't been great. But he was great last year. And, if you follow the sox regularly, you'll notice that Lowe has been great at home, horrible on the road. So, I figure I grab him, figuring that I'll just play him during home games until he settles down. Anyway, so I had 3 of the 5 boston starters. Until today, when the Boston Red Sox traded third baseman Shea Hillenbrand for Byung-Hyun Kim. So, provided they don't send Fossum or Kim to the bullpen, (I can't possibly see Lowe in the bullpen ever again, and I there is no chance in hell that they would ever move Pedro to the bullpen) I now have 4 boston starters.

Anyway, have a good night. And sweet dreams to you all!!
