My Fantasy Baseball Equipos

That's fantasy baseball teams for the Englishmen.  Take a look at these power house squads...

HOLY SHIRTS & PANTS (keepers*)

C: Matt Wieters
1B: Paul Goldschmidt*
2B: Marco Scutaro
3B: David Wright*
SS: Everth Cabrera
OF: Yoenis Cespedes*
OF: Curtis Granderson
OF: Jason Kubel
UTIL: Freddie Freeman*
UTIL: Victor Martinez

Bench:
Oscar Tavaras
Ichiro
Jackie Bradley
Dustin Ackley
Norichika Aoki

STAFF:
Jeff Weaver*
Madison Bumgarner*
Dan Haren*
Jeff Samardzija
Clay Buchholz
Josh Beckett

Greg Holland
Huston Street
Casey Janssen
Koji Uehara
Ryan Cook

Finished in the middle of the pack last year (12 team league), feel strong to quite strong about this group this year.  Granderson is out a month, Tavaras might start in the minors (and be there for awhile) but I think I'm set up for the long haul.  I like Buchholz and even though I'd prefer Samardzija catching passes from Tom Brady than pitching on my fantasy team, I'll take it.

Here is my other team, in a 10 man league...

EIGHT MEN TROUT:

C: Yadier Molina
1B: Billy Butler
2B: Brandon Phillips
3B: David Wright
SS: Ben Zobrist
1B/3B: Paul Goldschmidt
2B/SS: Everth Cabrera
LF: Mike Trout
CF: Bryce Harper
RF: Nick Markakis
OF: Garrett Jones
UTIL: Brandon Belt

BENCH:
Oscar Tavaras
Wil Myers
Jesus Montero

STAFF:
Kris Medlen
Matt Moore
Dan Haren
C.J. Wilson
Jake Peavy
Clay Buchholz

Joe Nathan
Ernesto Frieri
Bruce Rondon
Jose Vera

Ok, the outfield is real young, I'll need either Myers or Tavaras to get called up soon, but I love this team.  10-team leagues make it easier to be loaded, but this team is LOADED. 

Can't wait for the season to begin.  Both of these drafts were last weekend, and I've been checking my teams everyday like a lunatic.

Where The Patriots Stand 4 Days Into Free Agency

NFL Free Agency got underway on Tuesday at 4pm.  A lot has happened for the Patriots and there is still plenty of work to do leading up to next month's draft.  Here is the breakdown of what's taken place.

IN - (Signings/ Re-Signings)

Danny Amendola, WR (Rams) 5 years, $31 million (10 guaranteed)

Leon Washington, RB/KR (Seahawks) 1 year, $1.5 million

Kyle Arrington, CB (Patriots) 4 years, $16 million (7.5--8.5 guaranteed)

Donald Jones, WR (Bills)

Adrian Wilson, S (Cardinals) 3 years


OUT - (Free Agents Lost)

Wes Welker, WR (Broncos) 2 years, $12 million

Donald Thomas, OL (Colts)

Patrick Chung, S (Eagles)

Danny Woodhead, RB (Chargers) 2 years


I hate Welker leaving, but really can't argue with anything else to this point.  Pats need to bring back CB Aqib Talib and I'd like RT Sebastian Vollmer back as well, plus they still have picks in the first 3 rounds of the Draft.

Check Out This Dude's Highlight Tape

Not great. I'd like to see him get his hands up quicker, or at all. -Saw this first on Barstool Sports.

My Favorite Undertaker Match

The Undertaker was back on Monday Night Raw as he ramps up for another Wrestlemania match.  The Dead Man's streak is the greatest accomplishment in all of sports, but has it gone on too long?  Who cares.  Taker has been involved in scores of incredible matches throughout his one-day Hall of Fame career.  My favorite?  This casket-match seen below.
