Well, it’s spring and thank heavens that all those cute bunnies are still around. Crazy little fuzzy guys!
What’s nice about 2007 is that no one noticed that the year came and went. I mean, for real. 2007 was the Lamest Year Ever!!! Nothing important happened. It’s like the year didn’t even count. No one remembers anything that happened in 2007. Let me give you an example: Name one time you put too much salt on your pizza. Boom. Exactly. No 2007.
But two things you need to know about Fantasy 2008. First, Riots owner, Georg, is picking up THIS guy for two starts in Week Three:
John Patterson surprisingly was cut by the Nationals on Thursday. “We spent spring training evaluating him, and we came to the conclusion it was better to give our younger kids a chance to start,” Nationals manager Manny Acta said.
Totally good call, Georg. I won’t be able to get him because I’m too far down on the waiver wire. TOP GUY, really. Nasty stuff!
OK, now second. This is the Official Thing You Need To Know About 2008. True and honest fantasy recommendation to pass along. I live and breathe this guy, and since we’ve already done our draft, I can pass this along without compromising my position. For real, this guy is going to knock your socks off if you’ve never heard of him. No joke, he’s from Venezuela. He’s six foot NOTHING, but this guy can pitch LIGHTS OUT. Pick him up late if he’s there. His name is Johan Santana: Tiny little nothing pitcher with, what, a modicum of talent. Apparently he’s going to pitch for the Mets and rock in Queens if the offense can finally pull it together.
I’ll have another sleeper in my next installment. In the meantime, keep trading for and drafting top headliners Cust and B. Hall in the early rounds. Wish I could do it over and grab those same guys five rounds earlier. THAT would be a score!!!
And wake up Rip! It’s 2008! Where have you been since 2006? Welcome to a year that counts!
