I expected some of our older guys to share some obscure names. Surprised JORR hasn't cracked open his baseball encyclopedia.

Who was worlds better than the heavily promoted "saviour" of the Braves, Brad Komminsk. In Atlanta back then a great Brad Komminsk commercial ran in every WTBS break.

Unfortunately The Very Talented Mike Cameron (as Hawk called him) was only a bit better. Which reminds me of Jared Mitchell(who left his talents in Baton Rouge)

Ugh.

Not really obscure, but I remember thinking Shawn Bradley was going to be an all-star caliber defender and would develop into a better scorer than he did. In the end he was more of a freak than anything.

Great pick. Guy was supposed to be the future of the Cardinals for years and years to come. Turned out to be a decent player on some forgettable Blue Jays teams.

The only time I was in a CSFMB fantasy draft, I was dying to get Evan Longoria. Unfortunately that jerk Nas picked him right before my pick. So I took Rasmus and was massively disappointed.

But Avi Garcia in there too. They were basically the same dude.

Crede was another injury issue so that's not really fair.

He should've won the World Series MVP.

Sox fan alert!

Well, I guess Sirotka got injured--just when he put it all together, and just after the Sox traded him. Wright was ok for a stretch. Slappy beat the Cubs. Brian Anderson ruined 2006.

Olivo had a decent career. And was traded for Freddy Garcia, along with another guy who should hace been better- Jeremy Reed.
