What Happened to the Fantasy Baseball Team That Stunk to High Heaven?

As a followup to my previous post about my awful Fantasy Baseball team, we're actually still in playoff contention (barely) at 9-10.  (After losing six of eight to open the season, we went on a 7-2 run, but have lost the last two in a row.)

I'm not whining when I publish the list of how things have gone.  I'm just amused.  Here are my draft choices and how they've done:

1st round:  Paul Goldschmidt, Diamondbacks:  Broken hand a week and a half ago, out for the year.  Waived for that reason - he was having a fine season until then.

2nd round:  Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies:  On the disabled list for the second time this year, and according to The Denver Post, probably out for the year.

3rd round:  Hanley Ramirez, Dodgers:  Also on the disabled list.

4th round:  Jay Bruce, Reds:  Well, he's active (he was on the DL earlier this year).

5th round:  Shelby Miller, Cardinals:  Active, but certainly a disappointment from last year.

6th round:  Martin Prado, Diamondbacks:  Now on the Yankees.  Also a disappointment.

7th round:  Hyun-Jin Ryu, Dodgers:  One of my better picks.  However, he had a DL trip earlier this year and is injured now.

8th round:  Jeff Gyorko, Padres:  Oft-injured, a huge disappointment, gone.

9th round:  Zack Wheeler, Mets:  Another decent pick, and he's done okay for the most part.

10th round:  Jim Henderson, Brewers:  Stripped of his closing job as spring training ended, horrendous in middle relief for the first few weeks.  I dropped him in early May; he went on the DL a few days later and hasn't emerged from it.

11th round:  Wilin Rosario, Rockies:  Disappointing.  Dropped when Travis D'Arnaud started hitting.

12th round:  Bobby Parnell, Mets:  Made one appearance Opening Day, then went on the DL with Tommy John surgery.  Gone.

13th round:  Kyle Lohse, Brewers:  The last of my good pitcher picks with Ryu and Wheeler - although he managed to tweak his ankle last night during an at-bat.

14th round:  Charlie Morton, Pirates:  Started out lousy, dropped, picked up again two weeks later, and he's been up and down ever since.

15th round:  Carlos Quentin, Padres:  On the DL into June, then was lousy.  Dropped in July, and he's now back on the DL.

16th round:  Wandy Rodriguez, Pirates:  A few lousy starts, and I dropped him (why, oh why didn't I take Jonathan Niese, who I'd picked for four years running?).  Also dropped by the Pirates, and out for the year after undergoing surgery.

17th round:  Dan Uggla, Braves:  Dropped early on when it was apparent he wasn't turning it around.  Braves and Giants have also since dumped him from their rosters.

18th round:  Archie Bradley, Diamondbacks:  In the minor leagues all year.  Dropped when I was short of players and he was on the DL.  Might come up in September, but by that point, who cares?

19th round:  Cody Asche, Phillies:  Dropped early on (perhaps before the season even started) when I needed help in other areas.  Hasn't been horrendous, but no regrets for pulling the plug.

20th round:  Kris Medlen, Braves:  This was a mistake -- he was already out for the year, but somehow CBSSports' fantasy game decided I'd picked him.

21st round:  Nate Schierholtz, Cubs:  Thought he might have turned a corner after hitting 21 homers last year.  He hadn't; I dropped him in May, and the Cubs have dropped him too.
