Figured it out yet?
These are all players that you should have avoided on draft day this season.
Yes, that is correct, this list of well knowns all stunk it up. Well maybe not all were awful, but they all produced much less than the preseason hype. Some broke down physically, other mentally, while others were just the cool pick of the year. There are many people that, upon looking at the above list last February, would call that a dream draft.
So you ask, what were the smart people buying?

I hope that your team looked more like the 2nd list this year. Mine probably favored a little of both, but not enough of the second.

Wouldn't you love to go back in time 7 months & hand these two lists to yourself?
That, and tell yourself, "BUY OIL!" And, "SELL AT 140!"
You bet yah, I thought about a book idea along those lines, but I am sure that it has been done before.
