-Like past years, I will pick the player who most represents your team at the break. At least it gives us something to do during these days without baseball that counts. So, in Draft order….+Like past years, I will pick the player who most represents your team at the break. At least it gives us something to do during these days without baseball that counts.

-The easiest pairing of player and playeeee? (Hmm which is which) No one saw Pete Alonso turning in 30 dongs before the ASB, the only rookie to hit more in history was M. Maguire and we all know what he was doing (steroids, so Wilson doesn't have to google it). Wasn't a huge fan of Wilson's team to start the season, and I wouldn't have faulted the Mets if they held the Polar Bear in the minors to start the season either…I was wrong on both counts.+The easiest pairing of player and playeeee?

-When Tom drafted Judge 4th overall he was not expecting him to be in the 400's come the All-Star Break. Injuries are the main reason, but it doesn't matter as Tom is leading the bottom third of the league but the gap to the next third is a hefty 17.5 points. Also by placing Alonso as Wilson's pick and Judge as Tom's his head my just explode.+When Tom drafted Judge 4th overall he was not expecting him to be in the 400's come the All-Star Break.

-I was confused by Jeffe's team when crafting the preview, he seemed to have a lot of guys who did the same thing and I couldn't figure out how he would finish. When I wrote the preview I dropped him smack dab in the middle. Turns out I am write so far as he sits in 6th place. Albies was rated 57th overall coming into this season. He is currently 61st. Seems pretty on the nose as well, even if all of these are pure guesses.+I was confused by Jeffe's team when crafting the preview, he seemed to have a lot of guys who did the same thing and I couldn't figure out how he would finish.

-Now a surprise in the other direction. Mikolas was ranked in the top 100 pre season (88th actually) and had high hopes with this Cardinal squad and the High Pockets. Not to be the case this year, Cards stink in real baseball and the B.S.'ers are broken like their name. Mikolas isn't doing anything particularly well and either is BK, it is nice he nd the Red Birds can snuggle up to those past championships though.+Now a surprise in the other direction.

 DeGrom was unworldly last year, some regression was probably expected, but this is a bit much. Not awful, he still has a great K rate, but those wins are just as illusive as ever. Fatone isn't out of it yet, with just over 10 points out of free eats, but he needs to pick it up if he wants that first ever championship in Dogzilla-ville. As for DeGrom….less said about the Mets the better. DeGrom was unworldly last year, some regression was probably expected, but this is a bit much.
