Here's my blacklisted players:
- Nelson Cruz
- Every time I put him in my lineup he went 0 for 4 with 2 K's. But when I decided to bench him, he decided to hit a home run. Thanks but no thanks Nelson, you've been blacklisted.
- Mark Reynolds
- He just plainly cannot hit. Sure he's got power, but what else? I'll leave him on the waiver wire, thanks.
- Carlos Marmol
- Overall he's just not really a great pitcher. Drafted him late and thought I could get some good value out of him. Boy was I wrong. Thanks for all the blown saves Carlos. I'm sure Cubs fans appreciate those too.
- Side note: Hector Santiago and Heath Bell could probably join this category as well.
- Rickie Weeks
- Yeah Rickie, things didn't work out as expected. I had Curtis Granderson last year and decided to get some value for him and since my second baseman sucked, I figured I'd trade for you. You really didn't do much better. You were the chosen one to fill my second base need. But you really didn't do that, did you?
- Lance Berkman aka "Lance Berkshit"
- Yes, that's a name I gave to Lance after he was on my fantasy team a few years back. Classy? No. Accurate? I'd have to say yes. Got him late and felt that I was forced to take him where I did. It wasn't worth it. He did pretty awful. Was hurt a lot and didn't put up the numbers he was expected to. This was also the year he was traded to the Yankees mid-season. Everyone said "oh, this will definitely help his numbers. He will start to hit a lot as a Yankee." I have news for you, he didn't. That season (2010) was one of the worst he's ever had. He finished with a combined average (between the Astros and Yankees) of .255 with 14 home runs. Fourteen. The man as of this date has a career average of 33 home runs per 162 games. Thanks for nothing Lance.
That's all I can think of right now. There certainly more than I can't remember and if I can remember them, I'll be sure to add them.
There's a lot of players as well that I'd stay away from but wouldn't necessarily actively work against adding to my fantasy team. I didn't add these guys just because they haven't necessarily wronged me. The aforementioned players have spited me for some reason and therefore will be hard-pressed to find themselves on my team again.
