Scrantonicity’s Michael Scott Memorial Dundies (MVP):


2008: Cliff Lee- Early season free agent pick up kept producing, won the AL Cy Young and unfortunately still Scrantonicity is a non-believer- he and his 0 keeper points will not be kept in ’09:

W-L ERA WHIP SV K
22-3 2.54 1.11 0 170

2007: Brandon Phillips- my 19th Round selection, originally slated behind Rickie Weeks, came through with a Keeper worthy year:
Avg HR RBI Runs SB
.288 30 94 107 32

2006: Ryan Howard- No Philly bias here- look at the #s:
Avg HR RBI Runs SB
.313 58 149 104 0

2005: Albert Pujols- Can you say three-peat? :

Avg HR RBI Runs SB
.330 41 117 129 16

2004: Albert Pujols- A year worthy of naming my championship team’s name after him- MVPujols:

Avg HR RBI Runs SB
.331 46 123 133 5

2003: Albert Pujols- My rookie year might have been Albert’s individual best:

Avg HR RBI Runs SB
.359 43 124 137 5

Toby’s Teasers (Least Valuable Players):

2008: Carl Crawford- I once again make the Vogel swap, get the first pick of the post-keeper draft, clear Mr. Crawford’s keeper points, and he has his first dud of a season, stealing only 25 Bases and hitting only 8 Home Runs.  The worst part is that I chose to keep him over David Wright in a trade at one point.

 

2007: Rich Harden- Can you say DL?- 25 Innings doesn’t cut it for a fantasy starter

 

2006: Randy Johnson- Big Unit’s Big ERA- 5.00

 

2005: My bullpen combo of Keith Foulke, Jose Mesa & Jorge Julio- My 7th place demise should have been so obvious- who’s goes with this kind of bullpen?

 

2004: Andruw Jones- Tough to single anyone out in my championship year- Andruw definitely had an off year with only a .261 Avg and 29 taters

 

2003: Pat Burrell- Pat the Bat- as in he was holding the bat when strike three blew past him the whole season: .209 Avg


Creed’s Transactions of the Year (So good they might seem shady):

2008: Taking Cliff Lee from the Free Agent scrap heap, and watching him win the A.L. Cy Young

 

2007: Scrantonicity gets Josh’s 1st overall pick for his 1st pick in exchange for a swap of subsequent 5th and 7th round picks.  Scrantonicity then allows Albert Pujols to drop as a non-keeper, selects him with the first overall pick- thus resetting his keeper points.
