Ultimately none of them stuck with the club. I had a feeling Crane was going to be Hendricks mark II. Turned out pretty nice. Floyd is still improving, but won RotY this past season. Abbott stuck with the Dinos the longest. When he finally got some playing time elsewhere this past season he had a 25HR / 25SB campaign. Botello had a nice debut this past season considering he was playing in II. Valdez didn't catch on anywhere. Not FABs. But I regretted having to cut most of them. Nice to see how they turned out.

I also cycle through about half the number of players that most active forum posters seem to go through. Meadows wasn't a FAB for me as I had Krause and Wallace at 1B and they have been future HoFers for me. Over the past 15 seasons my 1B program has included Meadows, Krause, Wallace, and now Thomason. I have no regrets.

However, the reality there is he's a DH that might not quite make the best hitting comment depending on when his defense hit's the no-comment cap and when his power hits. My guess is defense is more likely to hit max before his max SI is accomplished.

Then there were a couple of guys who couldn't get it going with the bat and were defensive liabilities, which meant a logjam at DH that I grew tired of. Both went on to good careers, albeit in LLVI - Castellonas and Moody. Dean was a recent bad decision, too impatient. Craig was a guy I spotted while on someone else's roster, snapped him up when he came available but dropped him shortly after so I could make what, my 9th round draft pick? Like I couldn't have made room elsewhere, or left it! As far as FAB, had a few good acquisitions but I'll leave it at Tan for now.
