Lots of interesting news this week, so we're going back to the old format with the Five, if only for a week. In other words, five things I'd rather do than.....
As fantasy baseball season approaches, you are going to see me write a lot about players I like, and players I don't like. At the top of the list of don't likes this year is Roy Oswalt. Is there a less sexy pick in FBB than Oswalt? Probably not, unless you like the steady lack of production of a guy like Placido Polanco. Oswalt's ERA has declined steadily from 2.94 in 2005 to 4.12 in 2009, rising every season. He also is no longer close to a K guy, as he hasn't topped 180 in five years and bottomed out at 138 a season ago. I don't think Oswalt will go too high. As a matter of fact, someone is going to grab him and think he got him late and that was a steal. Have fun with that. I'll pick up my league average, non K SPs for $1 or as fillers at the end of my draft.
So, five things I'd rather do than own Roy Oswalt in 2010?
I would rather bet on Martin Kaymer at TPC Scottsdale. Really Martin, six bogeys in 12 holes to start the tournament. Did you forget your are the 8th ranked player in the world? Editor's Note: Grudge potential here, as I did play Kaymer in my one and done league this week.
I'd rather attend a movie at the St. Croix Falls Cinema.
I'd rather de-ice my window panes with a blowtorch. It's at the bottom.
I'd rather train the next Shamu. Yikes.
And, while were on sea life exhibits, I think I'd rather visit this one at the mall in Dubai.
Cheers,
TFAM
