Best Pickup for a Position Player
Jorge Posada: A late pickup for me,
but he certainly proved his worth
with his 23 home runs and a healthy
on base percentage of .374. Posada
filled the no. 1 spot perfectly, outperforming both
Javy Lopez (8 home runs, .297 on base
percentage) and David Ross (21 home
runs, .353 on base percentage), to
earn the Prime Ministers starting position.
Jered Weaver: My best pitcher of the year.
Amazingly he did bettter than Blue Jays' ace
Roy Halladay, also on my team. With 11 wins
and only 2 losses, Weaver showed just how
much better than his brother Jeff he is. I
picked Weaver off of the free agents list. He
did well his first few starts, so why not? He
ended up being the best pickup of the year,
with a 2.56 era over '06.
Most Consistent
David Wright: David's been on my team since
the draft. He was one of my most reliable
players, appearing in 154 games while sporting
a .311 batting average and a surprising 116 RBI.
Wright also stole 20 bases and had a .381 on base
percentage. For a player making less than $4oo,ooo
a year, that's not bad.
MVP/Unexpected Hero
Justin Morneau: Everyone should know this guy's name
by now. He was by far the Most Valuable Player for the
Prime Ministers, and surprised almost everyone with his
amazing season. For instance, in 2005 Morneau hit 22 home
runs, a mere 79 RBI and had a lowly .239 average. This year
he made up for lost time with 39 homers, 130 RBI and a
stunning .321 batting average. Yes, that's 73 points higher than
last season. Justin Morneau is the reason the Twins are in the
playoffs and part of why the Prime Minister's won the League
Championship.

Joe, what are the odds that you would run into Mr. Eggans on the other side of the world. Thats awesome.
I'll try to get those e-mail's as soon as possible. Glad you're doing well.
wait...
you saw mr. eggans!?!?!
I did believe you Joe, and I think Chambers did too. It's hard to tell what's real and what's a joke just by reading type. But like you said, it would be very funny and weird too.
Unfortunatley the football team is struggling this year. I believe the cross country team is doing pretty well though. I'm still working on getting you those e-mails you asked for... we're on a four day weekend now so I won't be in school for a couple days. But as soon as I get them I'll let you know.
