Fifty Lashes 2012 Awards Ceremony: 1st Place
May I present, a scholar, a gentleman, a pitcher, and my top point-scorer for the 2012 Fifty Lashes: Lord Maxwell Scherzer!
Lord Scherzer, in all his Bowie-eyed greatness, earned me a total of 514.8 points, 187.2 innings pitched, 78 earned runs, and a mind-blowing 231 strikeouts over the 2012 season.
Fifty Lashes 2012 Awards Ceremony: 2nd and 3rd Place
Ladies and gentlemen: My second and third top scorers, Mr. Buster Posey and Mr. Angel Pagan.
Both did an admirable job at keeping the Fifty Lashes from last place, and for that I am truly thankful. Mr. MVPosey's final points tally was 476.5, with 78 runs (including 24 homeruns), and Mr. Pagan's was 447, with 92 runs.
Fifty Lashes 2012 Awards Ceremony: 4th Place
My fourth top point-scorer is none other than the bearer of some of the most defined lashes on the Fifty Lashes squad, Mr. Ryan Vogelsong.
In the 2012 season, he earned a grand total of 436.8 points, with 71 earned runs in 189.2 innings (the lowest ERA of any pitcher in my team).
Well done, Sir, well done indeed.
The Light Lash Conundrum
There are many things that have made my life difficult this fantasy season, but the most persistent is something I call the Light Lash Conundrum. In short, I try to be a fair and balanced in my drafting practices, giving equal opportunity to players of every hair color, but men with light colored hair have lashes that are difficult to see in photos, regardless of how full and lush they may be.
To fully assess the lash quality of a player, I ideally need a reasonably high-resolution picture of the player in profile, gently lit from behind or above. Like so:
David Wright, 3B, New York Mets and Ryan Braun, OF, Milwaukee Brewers
There are two sets of baseball players that my method clearly disadvantages: 1. The not-often-photographed, and 2. The light lashed. Unfortunately for the brethren of the light lashes, it is much harder to highlight the glory of their lashes with a photograph. Where their dark-lashed brothers are able to display their lash prowess in less-than-ideal conditions, the light-lashed players look like they have bald lids. Hence the Light Lash Conundrum. For example:
A.J. Burnett, SP, Pittsburgh Pirates and Hunter Pence, OF, San Franciso Giants
This year I watched several games with closeups of both Mr. Pence and Mr. Burnett and can confirm that they both have lovely, long, lush lashes. This is the injustice of blond hair, people.
There's nothing I can really do about this, except for being as aware of this unfortunate bias as I manage my team. Any suggestions for balancing the Light Lash Conundrum?
If you count being quoted about Angel Pagan's luscious lashes as baseball expertery...
