Providing coverage of terrible baseball teams, and ridiculing everything just doesn't provide the in-depth coverage you need to. Wait why the hell are you reading this? Before anyone posts any predictions on this season, I shall leave you the reader reasons to make fun of me and call me stupid. To do this I will go into a Yahoo League draft and post my heroic story of how I probably finished in 8th place and forgot to set my rotation for 3 weeks on a NyQuil bender.
Pick 5th out of 12
My Yahoo Draft:
1. (5) Chase Utley 2B (A bit high, but I wanted a middle infielder)
2. (20) Travis Hafner Util (Pronk)
3. (29) Joe Mauer C (Solidify the difficult to get positions first)
4. (44) Brandon Webb SP
5. (53) Carlos Delgado 1B
6. (68) Félix Hernández SP
7. (77) Carlos Guillén SS
8. (92) Jered Weaver SP (I hate the Angels)
9. (101) Dan Haren SP (Default Oakland Ace)
10. (116) Jonathan Papelbon RP (Starting but I can sneak him in as a reliever)
11. (125) Hank Blalock 3B (Some bastard took Chavez)
12. (140) Jim Thome Util (12th round, trade bait)
13. (149) J.D. Drew OF
14. (164) Coco Crisp OF
15. (173) Michael Cuddyer 1B,OF
16. (188) Barry Bonds OF (For Josh)
17. (197) Paul Lo Duca C (I thought he was eligible at 1b, oops)
18. (212) Taylor Tankersley RP (Marlins closer)
19. (221) Aubrey Huff 3B,OF (I think he should rebound, position eligible)
20. (236) Joel Piñeiro SP,RP (Possible Sox closer)
21. (245) Seth McClung SP,RP (Possible Devil Rays closer)
Thome in the 12 is retarded. Ridicule away!

Surprising that Mauer fell to the 3rd round. I liked your strategy of solidifying the harder positions first. In my draft, I was the first overall pick, so I had to go Pujols, but if I would have been anywhere else, I was taking Chase Utley.
