Following Saturday's draft the starting lineup of my 2004 fantasy baseball team, Hrbek’s Hermits, is as follows:
1B: Carlos Delgado
2B: Adam Kennedy
SS: Rich Aurilia
3B: Eric Chavez
OF: Jay Gibbons, Shannon Stewart, Jose Guillen
C: Joe Mauer
Rotation: Curt Schilling, Johan Santana, Jarrod Washburn, Gil Meche
Bullpen: Mike MacDougal, Chad Bradford, Ricardo Rincon.
It’s an AL-only league, but there’s no DH; go figure. I'm hoping Mauer can carry me to a better season than the fourth-place finish of my ’03 team, The Twinkie Defense.

George Pataki purloined the "people will come" speech at the 2001 Hall of Fame induction; I wanted to kick his ass.

When was the last time a team won a division with a catcher this young as the starter? Mauer may be good, but I fear that the Twins will struggle as he struggles.
