Fantasy Baseball

Just because we are in China for the year doesn't mean I have to miss out on the one of my favorite pastimes from the States now does it!?

I love baseball and have been participating in fantasy baseball for a many years now.

This year, there are 12 of us, and we all sat down to draft our players live. Being in China required some planning as there is a big time difference from the States. It was sunday at 9pm for me and sunday at 9am for most of the other participants.

Most of you probably are not interested, but here's my team for this year.

I'm pretty happy with my team, but will be making some quick adjustments soon

This last week or so, preparing for the draft was what consumed a lot of my free time, so I am glad it's over, and let's PLAY BALL!
