2008 MLB All Bust Team
I just finished up my first MLB fantasy draft and have been thinking about overvalued players. Here is my all bust team. Just hitters.
C - Jorge Posada - Last Season was amazing, but completely uncharacteristic of his entire career.
1B - Carlos Pena - Last years stats came out of no where, particularly the 46 HR’s. He was drafted late in my league over the weekend; I think most people have the same feeling I do.
2B - Ian Kinsler - This is tougher…mainly because there aren’t many productive second basemen. I think Kinsler will be the least productive of the upper tier at 2B.
3B - Mike Lowell - I drafted him too so I hope I am wrong. He’s been fairly consistent his entire career and pulled 120 RBI’s and a .324 AVG out of no where in 2007. I think 80-95 RBI’s and .285 AVG is more likely this season.
SS - Rafael Furcal - It would have really been something if I had picked this last season but I’ll bet that he continues his slide to being irrelevant in fantasy leagues. He is still a top base stealer (25 in 2007) but hurts you in nearly ever other category. Plus he is drunk right now.
OF - Magglio Ordonez - See Jorge Posada.
OF - Vladmir Guerrero - He moves so awkwardly around the basepaths it makes my back hurt. He stopped the 5 year decline in OPS last season, but continued to slide in power categories and stole only 2 bases.
OF - Chris Young - I struck out Chris Young twice when writing this sentence.
