(no subject)
I did this a year ago almost to the date, so I thought I would update it. A lot has changed in a year.
Basically here's the deal. Say that you have no player tees whatsoever or you want one. You suddenly get the chance to get one of your team. However there's a catch. The catch is that you must get one player tee for each team. Now, which ones would you get? Here's my picks.
Baltimore Orioles: Brian Roberts. (Also Luke Scott.)
Boston Red Sox: Nick Green. (I still want one, they never did make one for him, or I would own it. I own Jason Varitek, JD Drew, Jacoby Ellsbury, John Smoltz, Jon Lester, Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell.)
New York Yankees: Andy Pettitte. (Blame Alicia 100%.)
Tampa Bay Rays: Evan Longoria.
Toronto Blue Jays: Brandon Morrow.
Cleveland Indians:
Chicago White Sox: AJ Pierzynski.
Detroit Tigers: Can I say Chance Ruffin yet?
Kansas City Royals:
Minnesota Twins:
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim:
Oakland A's: Huston Street. (Also Barry Zito and Rich Harden. Also Dallas Braden and Andrew Bailey and Landon Powell.)
Seattle Mariners: Adam Moore.
Texas Rangers: CJ Wilson and Taylor Teagarden. (No, I won't pick one and you can't make me. Also, Michael Young and Ian Kinsler and Cliff Lee and David Murphy and Chris Davis.)
Atlanta Braves: Derek Lowe. (Though Adam LaRoche would be a very close second if it was 19 and not 22. Also Chipper Jones and Nate McLouth and Matt Diaz and Kris Medlen and Brian McCann and John Smoltz and Tom Glavine.)
Florida Marlins: Josh Johnson.
New York Mets:
Philadelphia Phillies:
Washington Natinals: Sean Burnett. (Though I should be able to say Connor Rowe or Kevin Keyes soon enough!)
Chicago Cubs: Ryan Theriot. (Yeah, rather than Mike Fontenot, but Mike too!)
Cincinnati Reds: Bronson Arroyo.
Houston Astros: Jason Castro.
Milwaukee Brewers:
Pittsburgh Pirates: Andy LaRoche. (Also Delwyn Young. Also Jason Kendall.)
St Louis Cardinals:
Arizona Diamondbacks: Kelly Johnson. (Also Stephen Drew.)
Colorado Rockies: Jason Hammel. (Also Todd Helton. I picked Huston Street for the A's but I'd take a Rockies too.)
Los Angeles Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw. (Also Russell Martin and Rafael Furcal and Andre Ethier. Also Blake DeWitt.)
San Diego Padres:
San Francisco Giants: Barry Zito. (Also Buster Posey. Also Brian Wilson, but only if it's bright orange.)
I like pitchers. Sue me, I think like a catcher.
That then made me wonder if I could pick one and only one favourite player currently on every team's Major League roster (or DL but not 40 man). Well, I can... almost.
Baltimore Orioles: Brian Roberts.
Boston Red Sox: Jason Varitek.
New York Yankees: Andy Pettitte.
Tampa Bay Rays: Evan Longoria.
Toronto Blue Jays: Brandon Morrow.
Cleveland Indians:
Chicago White Sox: AJ Pierzynski.
Detroit Tigers: Johnny Damon.
Kansas City Royals: Jason Kendall.
Minnesota Twins: Joe Mauer.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: Torii Hunter.
Oakland A's: Dallas Braden.
Seattle Mariners: Adam Moore.
Texas Rangers: CJ Wilson.
Atlanta Braves: Derek Lowe.
Florida Marlins: Josh Johnson.
New York Mets: Jeff Francouer.
Philadelphia Phillies: Jayson Werth.
Washington Natinals: Sean Burnett.
Chicago Cubs: Blake DeWitt.
Cincinnati Reds: Bronson Arroyo.
Houston Astros: Jason Castro.
Milwaukee Brewers: Randy Wolf.
Pittsburgh Pirates: Andy LaRoche.
St Louis Cardinals: Brad Penny.
Arizona Diamondbacks: Kelly Johnson.
Colorado Rockies: Huston Street.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw.
San Diego Padres: Mat Latos
San Francisco Giants: Barry Zito.
What is this hitting nonsense you speak of? Pitching is much more fun.
