absence and baseball
17 March 2011
Eff St. Patrick’s Day – guess what’s two weeks away?
Actually, baseball is the reason for me being (relatively) MIA lately. As I announced last week, I started work on my annual fantasy baseball spreadsheet. And shit got wild.
Without getting too into it, last year, I ranked 233 hitters (broken down into 34 total tiers) and 134 pitchers (broken down into 14 total tiers). That’s 367 players total, 48 total tiers.
Well.
This year, I ranked 298 hitters, and breaking those down into 48 tiers. As for pitchers, I ranked 186 of them, broken into 18 total tiers. That’s 484 players, 66 total tiers. I actually provided statistics, thought about, and categorized 484 major league baseball players. Jesus Christ.
[This is where I’m supposed to say, “And surprisingly, I’m single.” But I’m not! Sure, I’m still a compulsive masturbator, but I have someone (theoretically) willing to have sex with me, without a substantial amount of money required to change hands. Amazing. Life is just really, really amazing.]
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been doing for the last week, and, though I might update it a little, my fantasy baseball draft prep is finished. And now, we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming. Thank you for your patience.
(Oh, and information on how to get your hands on the sheet is in my previous post.)
