We roll dice to determine the draft order and lucky me got to go last, so I had the 13th overall pick. But since we use a serpentine draft order, I also had the 14th pick. As nice as it would have been to have had the first overall pick and gotten A-Rod, I think I'd rather have the 13th and 14th picks than, say, the 3rd and 24th.

And speaking of fantasy baseball, one of the players not drafted by any of the 13 teams was Kazuo Matsui, the former Met-turned-Rocky-turned-Astro. The poor guy is having some problems, ahem, down there, and the following is the official player note (with injury) for Kaz for today.
Mar 17 Brian McTaggert, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Astros 2B Kazuo Matsui (anus) is likely to begin the season on the disabled list.
There are so many ways to make a joke about that, I think I'm just going to leave them up for your imagination.
