Well as I said before that's where I got the idea from. Of the four I'd heard mentioned, it had to be a team that had enough offense and enough starting pitching to let it not turn into a farcical meltdown, because I didn't know what would happen. So it came down to either Drew or Wright. And I didn't want to upset a certain moderator by picking his man.

You say you like little quirks, so you might like this little addendum too. During the mid part of the season I had burnt out most of the starting staff, and then Jorge Sosa got suspended. He'd have to go through waivers, so I turned, of course, to DW to start in a game in Philadelphia. Why not, he rocks (to an extent) in late inning outings.
Three innings later and after two hits, five walks, a wild pitch and a balk, just two runs had come across in a 2-2 game. Then Aaron Heilman gave up a run in the 6th in long relief and we couldn't score again, so we lost. It almost worked.
