Mailing One In

Well time is tight right now around the old Helfen Household.  We got baseball 3 days a week and dance one night.  Soon dance will go to two days a week, so I wanted to practice the old mail in the posts and see what that looked like since I might have to start mailing them in.  

New Fantasy Season

Well we drafted about two weeks ago and the "Ungiggable Frogs" have emerged as the early leaders in the new fantasy season. Well actually I think I'm tied for fourth or so, but we are coming on strong. I ended up drafting 14th, which didn't end up being as bad as I thought it would be. I picked up a SS Troy Tulowitzki and 3B David Wright with my first 2 picks and they are both in the low 200's right now. Wow, way to go guys, what did you do check to see if I drafted you. Anyway I would have taken Reynolds then, but I didn't want to reach to the 15th spot on him, I thought that was too early, we'll see. Anyway I kept with the Frog theme, since it has worked so far, the ungiggable part came from the pass word for the league which was something like "letsgofroggigging". Stevie has gone the revenge route with "Coalminer's Revenge". You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after last year's "Revenge of the Frogs", but unfortunately in fantasy baseball imitation can only get you to second place. My draft started to fall apart in the last 7 picks or so. I ended up with Eric Bedard who won't play until the second half and my back-up second baseman doesn't even start. Oh well, just have to pick some people up and make a go of it. At least I got Kurt Suzuki with my 12th pick, now I don't have to worry about catcher. Sure he isn't great, but catchers are notoriously bad fantasy players and I have found not worth the moves to try and find a diamond in the rough.

Well a new twist this season, I have branched into the 'B' category of fantasy players. I have 3 teams, but I still manage them with an 'A' type personality, checking the waivers, and free agents constantly. I haven't completely annoyed Sophie yet . . .yet. Anyway one of the teams is in a league with Mom. She wanted to play. Well I'm pretty sure she did after the constant badgering that me and Stevie give her. We also got Bo to play, so it should be fun. Probably not too much smack talk in that league, well very little. Ok probably A LOT. Anyway good luck everyone in all leagues, have fun fighting for second.
