…Ken Griffey Jr. must be on the DL. Hooo boy. Come on, fantasy owners, you knew this day was coming. Did you take another outfielder in the next round? Smart move.
And on that note, I present to you: Gigi’s list of Players Who Will Never Be Gashouse Gorillas: (yes, that’s where the nickname Gigi comes from, if you were curious, G.G.)
Ken Griffey Jr.
Josh Beckett
AJ Burnett
Nomar Garciaparra
Kerry Wood
Mark Prior (okay, I took him this year, but in the 23rd round, which is a steal even if he only starts five games)
JD Drew
Chipper Jones
Jim Edmonds
Armando Benitez
Magglio Ordonez
Frank Thomas
Ben Sheets
Who are your must-avoid fantasy players? And let’s try to keep the list to the perennially injured, not players like Cristian Guzman, who have no fantasy value.
