Top 5 Fantasy Baseball players that if you draft you’ll be dissapointed.  This isn’t to say any of these players are bad, but for Fantasy purposes they are some how tainted, overrated, or scary.

1. Brett Myers - If you’ve drafted him in the past few years and thought to yourself: “He’s a totally serviceable #2 SP” you know what I mean here.  He’s gonna let you down.
2. Dustin Pedroia - Only if you take him in front of Utley, Kinsler, and Philips.  If you don’t, then you’ll be just fine.
3. Joba Chamberlain - I’ve stolen this from one of my friends, and it has nothing to do with how talented he is.  The Yankees are too smart to put him through the type of innings the Phillies have done to Hamels or the Cubs did to Zambrano.  Wait a couple years on this one.
4. Rickie Weeks - He will kill your otherwise championship caliber team.  Along with Myers, drafting him is a sign that you accept 7th place and shouldn’t be invited back to play next season.
5. Jason Giambi* - I agree that in the 17th round of your live draft that it’s funny when you slur through Giambi’s name, give out high fives, and claim how awesome your team would have been in 2003.  So you wasted one pick right?  No big deal.  Except that somehow, you will rationalize starting Giambi the entire season and piss off other owners by including him in every single lopsided trade offer you send out all year.

*If you go out drinking with league members and discuss deep issues like: “Whose fantasy baseball team would win in a bench clearing brawl?” or “Which player is best suited to fight and beat a full grown Black Bear”, then by all means, take Giambi.
