Weaver would be a first round draft pick, for sure.
Jeff Sackman wrote something on this last week at THT. I think I am going to try and do that next year as a second or third league.
That sounds fun. I'd play.

Superstars would be those bad enough to be amazingly bad, but good enough to keep playing.

I was in a fantasy football league like this, and it was harder than trying to pick a good team. Things like benching people and no drop lists always screwed with the results.

My guess is the Royals and Devil Rays and Yadi would be the first to go. After that, it gets tough.

Yeah, you'd have to put in measures like minimum innings pitched or ABs. Yadi would be a primo pick too.

Something tells me he'll be pitching for the Cards next year on the cheap.

To quote Michael from the 4/10 post-game thread, it was ugly, but I'll take it.
