Bringin' The Thunder! Part May
of June...
The May Power Alley has come out
and it is of no surprise that
the Kentucky Wildcats are sittin'
on top of the mountain looking
down at all of us. I gotta ask
the question: How in
the world did they get all that
pitching? looking at Kentucky's
rotation makes me ill.
1.Arroyo (DMB 3.58 era 10-4)
2.Rogers (DMB 3.09 era 6-7)
3.Webb (DMB 2.68 era 13-4)
4.Garland (DMB 4.76 era 6-5)
5.Clemens (DMB 3.73 era 6-3)
You've got to be kidding
me! The Wildcats may
have the best staff ever
assembled in a large DMB
Fantasy league. My
mission will be to find
out exactly how the
Wildcats did it!
The Wildcats seem to be
more anxious to trade
than the 10 year old
with a new set of Topps!
The Wildcats do seem to
come out on top in just
about every transaction.
Look at these trades:
In 2007...In 46 Trade
Transactions the
Wildcats were involved
in 16.
-
California
Gladiators give Cla
Meredith, Rafael
Soriano and CAL Rd 8
to the Kentucky
Wildcats for FLA Rd
2, MIC Rd 3 and MAD
Rd 3 (Hey I needed
the picks!)
-
Kentucky Wildcats
give KEN RD 2 and
Mark DeRosa to the
Carefree Coyotes for
Huston Street (Now
he has Cla Meredith
and Huston Street!)
-
Beartooth Bitteroots
give Eric Chavez,
Mike Gonzalez, BEA
Rd 9 and BEA Rd 10
to the Kentucky
Wildcats for KEN Rd
1 and KEN Rd 3 (Note
Mike Gonzalez' great
numbers)
In 2006...In 44
Trade Transactions
the Wildcats were
involved in 14.
-
Chemung Crawdads
give Roger Clemens
to the Kentucky
Wildcats for
Lastings Milledge,
Brad Radke and KEN
RD 1 (Looks like he
gave up a lot here,
but not really....He
gave up a LOW first
round pick to get
Clemens who might
have gone #1, very
shrewd!)
In 2005...In 18
Trade Transactions
the Wildcats were
involved in 6.
-
The Kentucky
Wildcats give KEN Rd
2 and KEN Rd 5 to
the Jersey Damage
Inc for Reggie
Sanders and Jon
Garland (Nice
pick-up!)
-
The Kentucky
Wildcats give Larry
Bigbie to the
Chemung Crawdads for
Greg Maddux (another
pitcher... I see the
trend!)
-
The Newark Eagles
give Bronson Arroyo,
G. Mota, Keith
Foulke, and Shingo
Takatsu to the
Kentucky Wildcats
for Ken RD 1, Ric RD
1, Fla RD 1, Greg
Maddux, Octavio
Dotel, Joe Valentin,
Ryan Vogelsong.

So
we know this guy is the trader-joe-jack-of-all-trades
master. So after evaluating the
trades I went and looked at his
draft choices. Does this guy
have a crystal ball or what? In
2007 his first choice (24th
overall pick) was Sean Marshall.
Anyone know this guy has a
microscopic era and a WHIP
around 1.00? I know the Cubs
know! In 2006 he drafted Anibel
Sanchez late in the third round,
didnt that guy throw a
no-hitter? So what do I see? The
proof seems to be in the
trading, so to speak. Using
draft picks as currency to get
players that would be drafted
higher than those picks seems to
be a great method! Also, this
guy knows how to pick the ripe
fruit. Simply amazing. As the
guy in 24th place, I think I
need to read this guy's book!
