Answer: These were some of the players I had to leave off of my roster because of the manure from the last rounds of the draft that have to be there. I'm sure others have similar stories - or I just haven't figured out the nuances of the 16 x 16 draft yet.

Well, the positive spin on that, juice, is that you've kept those guys off everyone else's rosters, too.

You're right - I guess there's a bright side to every cow pattie. (It really did hurt leaving Ted Williams off though...)

Can't wait for the write-ups!

Is there a bright side to a cow pattie, though? This doesn't feel like the right metaphor. Though I acknowledge not spending much time around cow patties, so maybe I'm missing something.
