...watch baseball! Or, at least look at the box scores.

I am prepared for the wrath of actually baseball fans...

Who knew that such a boring sport to watch could produce an overwhelmingly fun experience of Fantasy Baseball. Sure, go ahead..."its no fantasy football", "it takes up too much time", "there are too many games", blah blah blah. You people are missing the point of the great joys of competition, despite the lack of interest in the subject. For example, I know someone who plays fantasy with celebrities, based on how many headlines they make...ahem.

So most recently, we did an auction draft this past weekend. This is where you actually bid for players versus just picking them snake style. And I'd like to say, ITS MUCH MORE FUN. Imagine having to pay attention to every pick and having a chance to win them. There are so many more facets of strategy. I have 2 teams, the first team was standard drafting, the 2nd team was my auction.

Standard:
C: Geovany Soto
1B: Adrian Gonzalez
2B: Chase Utly
SS: JJ Hardy
3B: Jorge Cantu
LF: Matt Holiday
CF: Lastings Milledge
RF: Ryan Ludwick
Bench: Kazuo Matsui, Ryan Theriot, Jayson Werth, JD Drew

SP: Brandon Webb, John Lackey, Gil Meche, Jair Jurrjens, Brad Penny, Ubaldo Jimenez
RP: Joe Nathan, Fernando Rodney, Brandon Morrow, Joakim Soria, Brian Wilson

Auction:
C: Victor Martinez
1B: Miguel Cabrera
2B: Brian Roberts
SS: Jimmy Rollins
3B: Kevin youkilis
IF: Chris Davis
OF: Matt Holiday
OF: Matt Kemp
OF: Carlos Quentin
OF: Jermaine Dye

Bench: Carlos Pena, Ryan Theriot

SP: Gil Meche, Paul Maholm, Wandy Rodriguez, Clayton Kershaw, Chien-Ming Wang, Johnny Cueto
RP:Brian Wilson, Fernando Rodney, Brandon Morrow, Joel Hanrahan, Kevin Gregg, George Sherrill

My strategy for the auction was to go Closer heavy and get cheap starters. And to spend all my money on offense. Lets see how that works out.

Good luck Fantasy Filipinos.
