    What the mother%%%%ing %%%%?
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      Did not like making that %%%%ing pick ... feels bad man! Couldn't make my mind up. 2010's just seemed so bland with little or no positional choice. So took the only positional player worth a damn. Still feels bad.

        It's odd, because in traditional fantasy the positional scarcity argument has almost gone away (outside of 2 catcher leagues). You'd think that the top players would be spread out more evenly.

          It's a weird decade ... I've been looking at it a lot, and there are good looking players, but all have flaws in one way or another. Most players have good parts, and then really mediocre parts (well from what's left anyway).

                It might look good in 5 or 6 years time when some of these guys flesh out their career stats.

                  I could have fixed it ... but didn't.

                    Man, I have had three guys I have been targeting for what seems like forever. All three are still available. Choices, choices!

                          Ernie Banks was one of them.

                            Thanks but my yard isn't big enough to hold 20, especially if they have large antlers. And the venereal diseases would just make me sad for them.

                                Bradley and Kiner were my two targets for the last couple days (along with Carew but I wanted him later... and I knew that wasn't possible so I gave up on that).

                                Not sure how high Kiner was on other people's lists but I had him significantly ahead of everyone else in the 40s. I had planned to take him last round, but everyone drafting 1-5 already had a 1940s hitter. So I took the chance. After Kaline was taken, Kiner was on the top of both my 40s and 50s hitters list, so I had my fingers crossed that no one took him for 1951.

                                I don't think I could have taken Kiner last round and had Bradley in the 11th, since 2 deadball pitchers were taken in between. I guess the gamble worked out.
