Bond's Giant Head 2006


Programming note: for those tuning in for my world famous Toss Up between Lost and Veronica Mars, it has been postponed because Veronica Mars was once again preempted by a Cavs game. Check back later this week (most likely Sunday) for that.

It’s the beginning of April so that means only one thing, baseball season has begun and more importantly so has fantasy baseball. I recently participated in two separate drafts, one for all of baseball and an NL Only league here is the former stands up with Jobu’s Revenge in The California Penal League:

C -
- Yankees
1B -
- Astros
2B -
- Devil Rays
3B -
- Astros
SS -
- Rangers
OF -
- Angels
OF -
- Mets
OF -
- Giants
Util -
- Brewers

Bench
- Astros (OF)
- Reds (2B,3B,OF)
- Blue Jays (1B,3B)
- Tigers (2B,3B)

Starting Pitchers
- Astros
- White Sox
- Tigers
- Marlins

Relief Pitchers
- Mets
- A’s
- Tigers
- Padres


As for Bond’s Giant Head in The Killer B’s League, here’s their lineup which I already have to fool around with due to injury:

C -
- Mets
1B -
Lance Berkman - Astros
2B -
- Giants
3B -
- Brewers
SS -
- Reds
OF -
- Cubs
OF -
- Giants
OF -
Padres
Util -
- Pirates

Bench
- Brewers (2B)
- Pirates (OF)
- Giants (C)
- Astros (2B,OF)

Starting Pitching
- Cardinals
- Reds
- Mets
- Cubs
- Phillies (DL)
- Brewers - (DL)

Relief Pitchers
- Cardinals
- Braves
Clay Hensley - Padres
- Astros


Now Jobu’s Revenge looks pretty strong but might need another arm to take the championship, but Bond’s Giant Head will need some work. When you start off the season with three pitchers on the DL which is never a good thing. The bench is really weak, but that is to be expected in an NL only league, but I will have to do some shuffling because bench players are much more valuable if they can play multiple positions.

Now my official post season predictions:

AL East - Yankees
AL Central - White Sox
AL West - A’s
AL Wild Card - Angels

NL East - Mets
NL Central - Cardinals
NL West - Padres
NL Wild Card - Astros*

AL Championship: Yankees over White Sox
NL Championship: Astros over Cardinals
World Series: Astros over Yankees in 6

*Since baseballs will be seeing plenty of them in the future, I figure I’d get them use them. My asterisk is predicated on Roger Clemens coming back by June. If he ends up retiring, then put the Braves in the wild card and Cards beating the Yankees for the title.
