I could take time to drool all over my 2009 QB love affair with Matt Schaub. I could call him a sleeper, but let’s face it … he isn’t (even though I call him one here).
It seems that everyone is targeting him in the middle of their respective drafts.

Remember back when Mark Reynolds was steamrolling the homers and RBIs? I do. It was right around May 21, the day I picked him up and dropped Adrian Beltre.
I felt no remorse cutting him at the time. He was putrid. He didn’t deserve to be on anybody’s team. Now, Beltre’s the 3B du [...]
