Last year I dropped Bedard after his slow start. I was super-high on him coming out of spring training, but his bad April made me doubt my choice so I dumped him. Not a good decision! :~(

I also grabbed Torii Hunter off of waivers last May but dumped him in favor of someone else because I didn't think he'd keep up his good season. %-6

Thanks guys, you're making me feel better about trading Greinke and Maine for Oswalt. :-/

I'm not gonna lie, that's one of the main reasons I made this thread. :-D

I wouldnt worry about it too much. Most of fantasy baseball is about being lucky. Like one topic states" You gotta be lucky to be good" At least you are willing to take a chance.

Getting rid of Utley early '05 in a H2H keeper. :,-(

That one haunts me the most because I'd still have him today for chump change.

I completely disagree with this. Luck is not a major factor in fantasy baseball, probably less than 10% if I had to gauge it.

My best move last year was drafting James Shields in the last round.

But this is the worst move thread, so my worst move was dropping James Shields in April.

It was the year that Derek Lee had his monster year. Before the season started I dealt Derek Lee for Corey Patterson . Nuff said !

Ah yes, I remember the nightmarish Placido Polanco platoon system. Unfortunately early that year, I had no choice but to start Utley everyday as I didn't compensate well in drafting a 2B (I think I had to platoon him and Juan Uribe). I stuck with him and it really paid dividends. ;-D
