Let me first stand up and say: "I was wrong." Eli, you proved all the doubters wrong, and though I still don't believe you are an elite quarterback, you definitely did not hurt your team as I thought you would. Congratulations. Relatedly, congratulations to the Giants and the city of New York for taking down the Boston empire. I can't believe we actually had to worry about a Boston empire, but with the Red Sox already winning the World Series and the Celtics the clear frontrunner in the Eastern conference of the NBA, there was a very real possibility of Boston teams holding all three major sports championships at once. As insufferable as they have been recently, giving Boston fans another Super Bowl, and a possible Holy Trinity of sports dominance was simply unacceptable. So thank you, Eli and Usi, although your reign at the top will be short lived as Norval and the Chargers will win Super Bowl XLIII. You heard it here first.
Now as the football season is completed, it's time for us to look forward to the baseball season! I know all of you are tremendously excited about that, as am I. Later on, I'll be making my predictions for the upcoming season, but as of now I'd like to continue to share with you all my positional fantasy baseball rankings. Last time around, if you'll remember, I posted Catchers and First Base. In this edition, I'm going to post Second Base and Shortstops, and as always, don't hesitate to express extreme hatred or supreme love. Also keep in mind these are subject to change as spring training moves along.
