So much for the "i before e" rule.) Plus, I guess you can call him Marky, which fits in nicely (no pun intended) with Miggy, Mookie, and Melky. That said, my long-standing religious and moral objections against the entire Santini League still hold: dual-league, drafted, roto operations are for heathens and sissies. Real men have single-league auctions, with keepers and minor leaguers and FAAB. League champions are celebrated as the finest amongst men; odes are written to them; they are lavished with smooches from teams of virgins. Losers are publicly ridiculed, mildly beaten, then taken out back and shot. That, my friends, is fantasy baseball. Who's in for next year? PS: All of that being said, one of the best times I ever had in roto was they year I participated in the "Cecil Fielder League." Scoring was unique: HR+K-SB. Good stuff.
