First Fantasy Draft of the Year

League Settings: 12 Team Head to Head, Traditional 5*5

Holy Power Batman
I didn't really go in planning to grab two 450 pound men that play 1B and hit a crap ton of home runs but that kind of just happened. I actually was planning on taking Ian Kinsler with my second pick to sure up a middle infield spot but changed my mind at the idea of having 90+ HRs and 250 RBIs locked up.

I Heart Yovani
I just do. If I don't get him in my drafts I get a sad feeling inside.

Grabbing the Limped
People shy away from injured people for little to no reason. Just a reminder to H2H folk, injured players are typically back in time for the playoffs. With that being said I'd rather have the potential of Carlos Beltran and Brandon Webb in September with the negatives of getting waiver wire production in the meaningless months of April and May.

Sometimes You Just Need to Admit Defeat and Wait
At some point I realized that all the 3B and SS were pretty much gone and that there was no point in drafting one because they essentially be around 5 rounds later anyway. This is how I landed Chris Davis and Alcides Escobar.

Closers Closers and More Closers
Give me all the crappy / mid tier closers you can. I'll take them all.

And Oliver Perez for shits and giggles...

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
