Justin Morneau, AL MVP? For me, Justin Morneau is just a fantasy baseball nightmare.
In 2005, I drafted Justin Morneau in the 5th round, ahead of the next guy on my list, Derrek Lee. Morneau hit .239/.304/.437 and ended up being a major bust, while Lee was one of the most valuable players in baseball that year. This year, I wanted to give Morneau another chance, so I drafted him again. I dropped him, added him, and dropped him again while he hit .242/.304/.473 for the first couple months of the season, and looked he was going to repeat his 2005 stats. So of course, some other team added him and he ended up going off on a tear the last 4 months of the season to finish at .321/.375/.559. Oh, and it doesn't help that I missed the fantasy baseball playoffs by .007 percentage points in 2005 and .008 percentage points in 2006. How annoying... 3 Comments:who picked up morneau? I forget... Tommy. I trust your judgement... you should too. I have been picking up all the players you drop...(Rudy Gay, Travis Outlaw...) , atBaseball Prospectus is overrated , atthat sucks to miss the playoffs by such a slim margin...my fantasy football team has the 4th highest points and i'm in 8th place... , at Post a Comment |
