1. Franklin Comes Alive (Chris Rosen) (me!) / 148.5: As the first member of La Ruina to ever win a second league title (and back-to-back, no less), I have something to tell you. Winning never gets old. This year was a real battle. I remember writing in my […]

First in our Draft, Last in our Heart

Kenny traded Curtis Granderson today, making him the fourth member of La Ruina to cut bait on their first round pick in 2008. Figured it would be as good of a time as any to go back and look at the first round.
1. The $3600 Suit (Alex): Carlos Beltran, OF, NY Mets
Season to date: […]

On the day of the draft, one of the worst picks of the day (excluding Gottsegen’s entire draft of course: “Byrnes is the poor man’s Sizemore!”) was when Bleak picked Adrian Gonzalez in the first round. Seriously? A Padre? A first baseman that we all thought would be there 5 rounds later? And you won […]

Asleep At The Wheel Redux
June 3rd, 2008 · 7 Comments
Back on May 9th, Kenny asked why everyone had passed on Oliver Perez. I’m curious if Rosen has figured out that Perez sucks.
He just got roughed up by the Giants. Ray Durham was 3 for 4. Brian Horwitz was 2 for 3. To be fair, however, most of that damage came against other pitchers because […]

Brocail, the Second?

Every year there is an addition from the wire that just boggles the mind.
Last year, Alex added Doug Brocail, which sparked 1500 emails in 10 minutes.
This year, John Crimmings adds John Grabow.
Who?
Yes, some shitty reliever on Pittsburgh.
This is the classic “look at the wire, click on the ‘WHIP’ category […]

Asleep At The Wheel
May 9th, 2008 · No Comments
I seriously love how no one needed Oliver Perez. The guy with an 8 or 9 priority actually waivered him. This just in, he’s a good pitcher. He plays on the Mets. He is in his contract year. He is going to win games and he has 200 k stuff. No one needed that.
“I don’t need […]

Dear Bottom of the League,

Sincerely,
