I play fantasy football and fantasy baseball in a marathoners league with other runners from around the country. As a rule, runners are very competitive people. So, I really like to do well in these leagues. I won the baseball championship last year and I finished 2nd in football, losing the championship by 1/3 of a point. (insert sad violin music here). Admittedly, if I spent the same amount of time analyzing stocks as I do analyzing baseball and football statistics, my bank account might be overflowing. But hey, happiness has always trumped money in my book. I digress.
This baseball season, I jumped out to a 2 game lead with a 6-1 record, only to lose the past 2 games and fall to 6-3, but still a game in first place. I know I have a strong team, I just have to be patient.
One of my problems is my team is actually too good. I have guys on my bench who are just too valuable to let go of. This prevents me from taking chances on young guys who might end up having great seasons, but might be total busts.
Don't believe me? Here is my bench. Tell me who exactly I can afford to cut.
Ryan Doumit C Pittsburgh Pirates
Carlos Pena 1B Tampa Bay Rays
Rickie Weeks 2B Milwaukee Brewers
Rafael Furcal SS Los Angeles Dodgers
Vladimir Guerrero OF Anaheim Angels
Every one of these guys is a starter on any other team. Patience, grasshopper. Your repeat championship season will come.
