Fantasy Baseball Stats
I'm sure the only person who is going to find this post interesting is me. I love fantasy baseball and I love useless stats, plus this is way more fun then reading a philosophy of the environment textbook. So unless you care about my fantasy baseball mindset and some general stat breakdowns for my teams you can just skip on down to the previous post.

This year I joined 4 pools (2 public and 2 private) with a grand total of 89 picks to be made. I've got representation from almost every team, unfortunatly no players from Milwaukee, San Diego, Seatle or Washington were able to crack my squads. The most support is comming from Oakland (9 picks), Boston (7 picks), Houston, Cincinnati and the Chicago Cubs (6 picks each). With a fairly even split between both leagues, 47 American Leaguers vs. 42 National League counterparts

Didn't have to draft a single player that I dislike, although my feelings for players will likely have changed significantly by the end of the season. 20 players will be suiting up for multiple appearances on my teams. No one made it onto all 4 teams but, Carl Crawford, Jeremy Bonderman, Kerry Wood, Tim Hudson, Danny Haren and Rich Harden found their ways onto 3 of my 4 teams.

Veterans welcomed back from previous fantasy seasons include: Todd Helton, Carl Crawford, Aubrey Huff and Austin Kearns. This also marks the first season Jeff Bagwell or Craig Biggio haven't been able to secure a position on any of my teams (although once Biggio's second base eligibility kicks in I might have to snatch him up in one of my public pools). Toronto representation is comming from Roy Halladay, Vernon Wells and new edition Cory Koskie, each of whom make one appearance each.

Of all the drafts there wasn't really any suprises other then Kerry Wood going first overall in one of the public ones. So heres to a healthy, suspension free season to all my players.
