Houston Astros Fantasy Draft

[D-Unit]

No, this isn't gonna be a regular dynasty. But since I have such an odd team to find, a bunch of weird things are supposed to happen with this club. So when I feel like bragging about my ridiculously unfair team, you can read about it here. Here is my lineup and rotation:

LF Carl Crawford

SS Derek Jeter

3B Alex Rodriguez

1B Ryan Howard

RF Alex Rios

C Dioner Navarro

CF Bubba Crosby/Melky Cabrera (splits between righty/lefty)

P Pitcher

2B Chone Figgins

SP Johan Santana

SP Felix Hernandez

SP Scott Kazmir

SP Aaron Small

SP Ryan Madson

LRP Ron Villone

RP Kerry Wood

RP Scott Proctor

RP Chad Cordero

LOOGY Neal Cotts

SU Joel Zumaya

CL Huston Street

I traded for A-Rod, Santana, and Kerry Wood. I actually traded for Konerko to DH, then I realized the Astros are in the NL so I traded him for Wood. These trades aren't hard when you give them a solid player and then a prospect. I loaded the minors with prospects so there is no issue there.

So the first weird thing to happen is Alex Rios gunning down two runners at the plate in the first inning.

Cool. I'll be following.

The next weird things to happen are weird indeed.

Johan Santana allows a single to Brad Radke.

Johan Santana then hits a squibbler down the third base line, bouncing off the bag for a base hit.

Then to top it off, Johan Santana...goes deep?

That two run shot gives me a 5-0 lead.

Then in the seventh inning, Johan Santana leads off with a single. An innocent single. Then a rally ensues, and Johan Santana finds himself at bat with the BASES LOADED. At-bat in progress...

Johan Santana works a full count, and then rips a BASES CLEARING 3 RUN DOUBLE!
