30 Bad Fantasy Baseball Scenarios

Also, let’s not forget that this has become a very public free agent negotiation. Should Manny have a bad day, misread a teammate’s quote in the paper, or feel slighted by Joe Torre, the prima donna could return. If Manny does not resign with the Dodgers, look for Andre Ethierto return to pre-Manny performance,making him a fourth fantasy outfielder as best.

Giants – Randy Johnson wins his 300th game and loses interest. 

There isn’t much doubt that Johnson is heading to San Francisco, in part, to top the 300 win mark. Should that occur at some point in the middle of the summer, is there a chance he loses interest as San Francisco is not likely to compete for the NL West title? 

That being said, the Giants offense could make it difficult to get the five wins he needs before the All Star break.

Padres – Jake Peavy finally admits he wants out of San Diego. 

At the Winter Meetings, there were stories circulating that Peavy was heard singing “Go Cubs Go” late night at a bar. Even if he is traded at some point this season, Peavy’s home/road splits cannot be easily ignored (career 3.80 ERA on road, 2.77 ERA at home).  Depending on where he is dealt, it is possible Peavy drops down a tier or two amongst starting pitchers.

Rockies – The Rockies lineup misses Matt Holliday more than they anticipated. 

Despite his struggles last season, Holliday has been a major part of the Rockies offensive attack the past four years.  With Todd Heltonaging and the center field situation up in the air, the Rockies offense doesn’t look as menacing with Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe batting 4-5.
