Dryden;1905218; said:I said it before and I'll say it again, I had the first pick overall in our fantasy league and I took Pujols. I honestly believe that at this point in their respective careers, Votto is the better player, and certainly Votto has the better supporting cast around him to produce gaudy R and RBI numbers. If I was playing it straight I'd take Votto first pick. But I didn't, because I'm the fucking hex-master, so I'm more than willing to tank my fantasy team if it burns the Cardinals. Last year I took Teixeira, and he fell flat on his face out of the gate. The year before that my first pick was Wright, and he of course got beaned and missed a lot of time, and really hasn't ever been the same hitter since.
Through 7 games:
Votto: .407 .485 .741 1.226
Pujols: .179 .226 .286 .512
Suck it, Albert.
I'm 100% serious when I say guys like us should start a shakedown business on pro athletes.
I've got a laundry list of careers I ended with a first round fantasy pick and I don't mean any common injury stuff, I'm talking out of the blue act of god shit.
We just contact their agent and ask what its worth to them for their client to not be selected.
