"They only live to get radical"

A lot of news here, so let’s touch on that immediately.

The Yankees did the following:

-Cut

- Sent Jesus Montero to AAA and Austin Romine to AA

- Sent , and to AAA

- Sold to a Japanese team

- Added to the 40 man roster

No big surprises here if you’ve been following for the past week or so. Ramiro did what Ramiro do this spring, which is not hit at all and the Yankees obviously thought Nunez was a better fit for the bench. I concur. I imagine we’ll be seeing Jesus Montero again sometime soon. I know I’m in the minority here but I still like the idea of him getting regular at bats. Notes also had that will be added to the AAA squad as soon as the weather turns nice. Boy, that’s a pretty good arrangement- it was 37 degrees in Scranton today.

 

Anyway, we’re having our 3rd and final (I think) fantasy draft at 8 tonight. If you’re in it, I recommend you show up lest your auto draft team include , Steven Strasburg, and . Also I’ll be serenading the group with Point Break quotes again, so everyone wins.

Here are my quick nominees for best fantasy names:

Bodhi’s Bandits (obviously)

Big G’s S*@tloaders

Colon Problem

Daniel Plainview

Stairs way to Heaven

Barry Bail Bonds

Jesus Mo and Joe’s Binder

The Runaway winner however is “Welcome To Sea World” in a blowout. Not even close.

 

And……here were some not so hot names….from TYA members….Yikes:

Mo Money No Problems (GET IT!?! THEY’RE BOTH NAMED MO! LOLZ!!)

wOBA is Me (Matt Imbrogno, you’re embarrassing our site, stop it immediately)

Whatever Stephen Rhoads chose, for any league, ever.

    Two Things:

    1) What is Point Break?

    2) Mo Money Mo Problems is a classic rap song. You dare not besmirch it.

    If you have to ask about Point Break, we’re no longer friends.

    Sean,

    I was keen to join the 3rd fantasy league but when I tried on Sunday evening (UK time) Yahoo! told me that I couldn’t join. I guess it was already maxed out.

    Not much longer now before the season opener, but if a 4th league DOES happen to open, I’d be very keen to join it.

    Thanks
    Tim

    I think my team name, “What Would Montero Do”, is pretty darn good.

    I’m only playing in one league this year: a 5×5 12 team league between some friends and I. I’ve never been great at fantasy baseball, but I’m really confident in this team:

    1b Justin Morneau
    2b Brian Roberts
    SS Jose Reyes
    3b Alex Rodriguez
    C Mike Napoli
    OF Ryan Braun
    OF Andre Ethier
    OF Vlad Guerrero
    Util Kendry Morales
    Util Jose Tabata
    BN Coco Crisp
    BN Jesus Montero

    SP Justin Verlander
    SP Max Scherzer
    SP Ted Lilly
    RP JJ Putz
    RP Jonathan Broxton
    P Joel Hanrahan
    P Javy Vazquez
    P Travis Wood
    BN Brandon Beachey
    BN Ervin Santana

    Ended up with a weird team in the league I just drafted tonight. I basically just punted the middle infield positions and catcher until late. It’s a keeper league. I went a little pitcher-crazy early, which I think may not have been the best move.

    1b Adrian Gonzalez
    2b Howie Kendrick
    SS Ian Desmond
    3b Alex Rodriguez
    OF Jay Bruce
    OF BJ Upton
    OF Colby Rasmus
    Util Michael Stanton
    Util Ike Davis

    SP Jon Lester
    SP Clayton Kershaw
    RP Joel Hanrahan
    RP Kyle Farnsworth
    P Yovani Gallardo
    P Brett Anderson
    P Trevor Cahill
    P Tyler Clippard

    BN Gaby Sanchez
    BN Grady Sizemore
    BN Jesus Montero (had to)
    BN Frank Francisco
    BN Ryan Madson
