THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR DAN MILLER

FLEM Fantasy Baseball Draft 2008

Last night we had our annual fantasy baseball draft. This league originally started out in 1989 when we were all (mostly) in 7th grade. This would be our 20th year but nobody ran the league while I was on my mission.

The draft went pretty well. We used to run an online fantasy sports site called InsideCorner.com so we have our own custom league with a custom draft program. It works pretty well, though we occasionally have to restart the server because people don’t show up on time or have trouble getting access to it for whatever reason. Last night we had problems getting Dan No R in there.

But wait, you might say – Dan No r – that seems like a strange name? Why yes, gentle reader. It turns out that in addition to myself (Dan Miller), we have a league owner whose name is Dan Mille. Truthfully, I am only about 95% sure that another owner in our league didn’t make him up. I mean it definitely seems like the kind of name that you wouldn’t make up if you were trying to illegally run two teams, but I think that if there was one person I would think would think he could pull it off, it would be this particular owner.

Anyway, the draft didn’t go too long and the following is my team:

1B James Loney LAD
2B Brandon Phillips CIN
3B Garrett Atkins COL
SS Derek Jeter NYY
C Geovany Soto CHC
OF Matt Holliday COL
OF Curtis Granderson DET
OF Alexis Rios TOR
DH Torii Hunter LAA
1B Joey Votto CIN
1B/C Jarrod Saltalamacchia TEX
3B Troy Glaus STL
OF Josh Willingham FLA
SP Jake Peavy SDI
SP Danny Haren OAK
SP James Shields TAM
SP Dustin McGowan TOR
SP Bronson Arroyo CIN
SP Jeremy Accardo TOR
SP John Patterson TEX
SP Zack Greinke KCI
SP Mark Prior SDI
RP Francisco Cordero CIN
RP Matt Capps PIT
RP Rafael Soriano ATL

I’m fairly happy with it and we shall see how we do this year
