Best Player Nobody's Heard Of
I'm sure every team has a player that is relatively unknown but is performing well for them. Or maybe they're popular now but weren't when you got them. Which guy is it on your team?
For me, Florida Marlins pitcher Josh Johnson was a pick-up early this season (May 15) almost solely because he was going to get 2 starts in one period. Turns out that after 10 starts, he's got 7 wins and leads the league in ERA with a 2.20.
The other extreme is guys you've started at all the wrong times. Jeff Weaver's started 7 games for me, and his record in those games is 1-6 with an ERA of 6.05. 2B Jose Lopez is hitting .240 for me, but his season avg is .280. Johjima is hitting .290 with 8HR, but for me, starting him in half his games, he's .256 with 3 HRs.
