Simply put, I don't get it. Year in and year out valuable REAL-LIFE starters find themselves ranked in the hundreds. Udonis Haslem and other point/rebound specialists apparently have no place on a fantasy team, yet Shane Battier, in all his craptacular glory -- 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and half a three-pointer (that's roughly a 13-foot jumper) -- is consistently rated as a middle-round draft choice. A few other similar players have backpedaled their way into similar standing, but Battier remains the gold standard.
It seems like fantasy basketballers are finally starting to catch on. Battier remains a free agent in all three leagues I'm currently patrolling. Still, it's inevitable that some unfortunate autodrafter will wind up on antidepressants, or dead, in 2010, thanks to Shane's O-rank. As my first official for-the-public fantasy mandate, I command all drafters, both auto and manual, to PLEASE place Shane Battier in the do-not-draft list.
For those of you who ignore my warnings, Tylenol and Tequila should provide a nice inflatable pool to drown your sorrows.

Tylenol and Tequila will induce fulminant liver failure.
Only if you do both at the same time
I should give credit to Dipa when I refer to him as "The Shane" from here on out.
And yes, if you draft him, kill yourself.
