Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

Good Looking All Star Team

 

Andi_k and I started working on this awhile ago and then kind of stopped because we both got busy. Luckily I think we stopped basically after we had most of the work done. But this is what we came up with.

Each player is judged on three statistics: DAR- Dreaminess Above Replacement, GWR- Grace While Running for position players or DID- Distraction Independent Delivery for pitchers, and SXYMS- Sexiness Adjusted for Mental Stability. We used both leagues to create the roster so this is an Inter-league team. 

Here we go:

C Joe Mauer

Joemauer_medium

via phrenetical.files.wordpress.com

DAR- 10 I don't think this needs explanation.

GWR- .398 He may not be the most graceful runner in a traditional sense but he has a sort of rugged grace.

SXYMS- .450 He is pretty stable. But sometimes that stability is sexy. Depends on what you like. He seems pretty personable and genuine as well.

1B- James Loney

Dodgers18h_400_medium

via www.freefantasymagazine.com

DAR- 5 Not Dreamy Joe levels of dreaminess but still pretty dreamy.

GWR- .425 He has shown some very nice graceful running. I submit this video for your examination.

SXYMS- .250 After extensive research this girl could find no signs of mental breakdowns, tantrums, or scandals. He seems kind of boring actually. All I can find is stuff about baseball. How disappointing. Maybe andi can shed some light. He was her pick.

2B- Ian Kinsler

Kinsler_medium

via www.herraysbaseball.com

DAR- 8 Look at those brown eyes and pouty lips.

GWR- .760 I think the use of high socks may make him appear more graceful. This is a simple way other players could try to improve their GWR scores.

SXYMS- .350 Pretty stable. Although Ian is married to his high school sweetheart which is so romantic. This has upset many young girls and prompted them to say they hope he cheats on his wife because they would "hit that." (Ian Kinsler Girlfriend Forum everyone. Good stuff.)

3B- Evan Longoria

Evan_longoria_medium

via www.motleyhealth.com

DAR- 5 He is definitely more silly and happy-go-lucky than dreamy.

GWR- .425 He is tall and fairly thin. That looks good when running.

SXYMS- .500 Some of you may think that is inflated. But here is my reasoning: He often dresses in rather, shall we say, Ryan Braun-ish clothing. While this is usually a sign to STAY AWAY to me it shows a side that says I must belong and be popular which is very needy. Needy=some mental instability and therefore he scores higher.

SS- Troy Tulowitzki

20080327__20080330_f11_sp30bbnroxcaps

via extras.mnginteractive.com

DAR- 6 Another case of nice eyes and pouty lips.

GWR- .450 He shows tremendous grace on defense. Shortstop may not be a position that involves a lot of running per se but it does involve quick reflexes and dives and jumps, all things Tulo does with a lot of grace.

SXYMS- .350 Pretty stable. But he married his high school sweetheart which as we discussed with Ian is romantic.

OF- Nick Markakis

Wpyzx3sl_medium

via web.minorleaguebaseball.com

DAR- 7 He is referred to as The Greek God in Baltimore, that's dreamy y'all.

GWR- .500 Most outfielders will be rather graceful and Markakis is certainly no exception.

SXYMS- .333 Nick has his own charity for distressed children in Maryland. As an Early Childhood Education I strongly approve.

OF- Jacoby Ellsbury

Jacoby09_medium

I feel like the fuzzy birder is appropriate here.

via assets.sbnation.com

DAR- 7 He is Native American, I think that's pretty dreamy.

GWR- .600 Very fast and a very talented base stealer. I love base stealers.

SXYMS- .400 He is actually kind of boring. But he plays for the Red Sox and we all know their affinity for Braun-like behavior and dress. Sort of an Evan Longoria effect.

OF- Grady Sizemore

Grady03_medium

via withmalice.files.wordpress.com

DAR- 9 I decided no one else was allowed to get a 10 on DAR because Joe Mauer is indeed Dreamy Joe but if anyone could Grady would.

GWR- .800 Yup. http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=5861675

SXYMS- .600 Well, he was boring, but then he had a scandal. So now he is not as boring.

Bench

OF- Colby Rasmus

Colby-rasmus1_medium

via hawkfantasysports.files.wordpress.com

DAR- 3 He is too goofy looking and adorable to be very dreamy.

GWR- 1.000 We have discussed this many times and I think Colby is the picture of grace when running.

SXYMS- .200 He is pretty well behaved and I don't know that you could really classify him as sexy, I usually say adorable.

OF- Andre Ethier

T1_ethier1_medium

via mike100915.files.wordpress.com

DAR- 7 He has dark hair, brown eyes, the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome.

GWR- .600 I think he's pretty graceful.

SXYMS- .400 He is pretty stable but he is very personable judging by his blog he had a few years ago.

C- Lou Marson

285115_medium

via media.scout.com

DAR- 7 I think curly hair helps a lot with dreaminess. Again with the brown eyes, I guess those are dreamy.

GWR- .333 He is a catcher so he is not necessarily a super graceful runner but he isn't bad.

SXYMS- .300 He has not been around long enough to really cause any scandals so at the moment he seems pretty boring.

SP- Zach Greinke

Greinke_medium

via www.therookiesblog.com

DAR- 8 He is pretty dreamy. I think really blue eyes are also dreamy.

DID- 1.35 He has a very simple, clean delivery. This allows for maximum viewing of his gorgeous self with few distractions.

SXYMS- 1.000 He has had a history of some emotional instability. Plus he uses Sabermetrics to help him pitch, I know y'all appreciate that.

SP- Justin Masterson

Justin_masterson2_medium

via www.rotorob.com

DAR- 6 He has great eyes that really stand out since he also has no hair.

DID- 1.50 He has a pretty simple delivery that also emphasizes his height which is nice.

SXYMS- .500 He gets a high score here for his apparent ability to get along with everyone and generally good attitude. I mean he said he liked Dustin Pedroia! I guess that may be a bad thing...

SP- Adam Wainwright

284485_medium

via media.scout.com

DAR- 8 He is pretty darn dreamy. Look at him!

DID- 1.50 Very simple delivery again.

SXYMS- .500 He is a mix of friendly and tough guy, his tough guy side seems to really bloom around our next pitcher.

SP- Chris Carpenter

Carpenter_medium

via fantasybaseballtips.com

DAR- 8 His dreaminess comes from his tough as nails attitude.

DID- 1.23 Very simple delivery that is a perfect representation of his attitude.

SXYMS- .750 It's that tough guy attitude again.

RP- CJ Wilson

Cjwilson_medium

via www.sweetaffliction.com

DAR- 9 I don't know how many of you are aware of this but he is so dreamy y'all. Go here for further evidence.

DID- 2.30 He has a pretty simple delivery. He does have a little leg kick at the end that is a little distracting.

SXYMS- .450 From what I understand CJ doesn't drink and spends a lot of time on the Internet. In fact I think he used to semi-regurlarly comment at Lone Star Ball, the Rangers SBN blog. He also has a very active and pretty good Twitter where I learned he just went to Vancouver to watch some hockey at the Olympics.

RP-Huston Street

Huston-street-rockies_medium

via www.indenvertimes.com

DAR- 7 He has great eyes and pouty lips, two very big components of dreaminess.

DID- 1.70 Pretty simple delivery. And he made it look good in the A's ugly uniforms, bonus points.

SXYMS- .425 He is a closer which is very sexy.

Shortstop was such a difficult position.

I don’t find Jeter attractive at all and Andi couldn’t think of anyone either. I toyed with using Elvis Andrus for awhile but I also wanted more NL people. At the time it was mostly AL. I also thought about Stephen Drew but I think that may be a just me thing.

I was working on my 25 players : 25 seasons material and tried looking for pictures of Ted Sizemore (1973, BTW) by using Google. After finding a decent baseball card to use for it, I kept going in hope that I’d find an actual photo of him. What I got were several pictures of Grady Sizemore, in various levels of disrobement (NSFW), taking camera shots in the mirror.

Grady, if you want to take a digital image with yourself in the buff, holding your junk in one hand and the camera in the other, don’t put it on the internet. Just send an e-mail to somebody or go to their house and let them see it on the back of the device.

Sadly this means he probably won’t be back next year and I can go to the National Championships next year because they’re in Charlotte. But I am SO happy. My mom called right after and I could barely speak. This feels like the best thing that has happened to me this winter. And I don’t even know him. I love the Olympics.

Let me just say that Clemson Girl gets 99% of the credit for this.

All I did was throw out some names and come up with a couple of statistical categories. She rated them all and wrote the entire post.

I don’t know how I failed to mention Rick Ankiel—he’s the one I had in mind when I suggested the Sexiness Adjusted For Mental Stability category.

Young and pensive: I think we all know when this picture was taken. T_T
young ank

You are media. I am ignoring you, but arranging my body in such a way that it will photograph well nonetheless, but will seem casual and not at all contrived:
nine years ago?



I agree that De Rosa and Nady could/should be on the team, but really, I just gave her a list of names and dumped it in her lap. That’s a WHOLE LOT of players to evaluate.

I also forgot that I suggested Kyle Farnsworth. He’s HOT and also a total nutcase. You may have noticed my avatar is a picture of Farnsworth charging Jeremy Affeldt.



DELICIOUS even if he’s a total douche. I don’t need to talk to him. I just want to look at him.

Hat is at full-douchebag position, but CHECK OUT THOSE GUNS:

Matt Kemp is FINE. He was supposedly banging Rihanna as recently as last month:

Andrew McCutchen is handsome, if a bit short for my taste, but he sort of looks like trouble. Trouble is fun:

Robinson Cano, so adorable throwing a bitch fit:

Curtis Granderson is pretty cute and funny to boot. When I used to watch Baseball Tonight (before the MLB Network existed), I liked when they would have him on the show:
