The tenth and final team to be profiled this week is Da Jesus, whose 2007 iteration was glaringly concentrated in speed and saves. Unfortunately, his domination of those categories cost him several points in power, rbis, OBP, wins, ks, and WHIP. Somehow, with all [...]

With the draft only 18 days, 10 hours, and 50 minutes from now, we’ll turn to the team with the most factually incorrect name in the league - Carlos Silva’s obnoxiously large contract signed in offseason was for $48M, not $40M, over four years. Ignoring the name, [...]

Following up on Fasano, how drunk does he look in this picture? You can be sure Tom Emanski didn’t teach him how to play drunk.

Other than really liking the “rods”, Adorable Baby Pandas, who definitely wins the award for strangest fantasy name, put together a team that severely underachieved in the standings where its players certainly overachieved when compared to 2006. In 2007, the team ended up speed heavy, neutral weight [...]

In a very up and down season, 40oz to Farney found himself finishing on an upswing tied with the Cuddle Rapers in 2007. Farney also receives a nomination for funny team name, but falls well short of Cuddle Rapers in this blogger’s opinion. Farney’s [...]

Sal Fasano is fundamentally sound. If he ever visits this site, Tom Emanski will pitch a tent while looking at this picture.

And now, with only 20 days, 8 hours, and 35 minutes until the draft, we get to my pick for the best name in the league, The Cuddle Rapers. The Cuddle Rapers 2007 season was derailed by a lack of RBIs, steals, and saves. [...]

RA Dickey Dicks, the man of many fantasy names during a season, had an up and down 2007, unfortunately in that order. Dicks ended the season in 5th place after spending almost the entire first half with a solid first place lead, that somehow fizzled. [...]

With only 20 days, 22 hours, and 58 minutes left until the draft, it’s time to discuss the team that finished in 4th place in 2007, Wally Backman. Similar to the teams that finished 1st and 3rd, Backman spent much of the year in the middle [...]
