The torch was officially passed last night to the Clucker. After very humble beginnings finishing 7th, 9th and 8th in his first three years, the Clucker has become a force in the league with 2 championships and two 3rd place finishes in the past 5 years. So that he doesn't get too big for his britches though, I threw in a bonus gift for him. A desk ornament with the trade he made in his rookie season that propelled Hatherly Hitters to his 2nd of 3 championships. The Hitter got Beltran from the Clucker for Dontrelle Willis ..... and the rest as they say is history. Willis sank faster than Bill Clinton's approval ratings after he and Monica were smoking cigars together in the oval office.
Stung by the devastating effects of this trade, Cluck steeled his resolve and vowed for better days. Out of despair and defeat, came the genesis of the Matrix, a revolutionary and
proprietary (says Cluck) new way to look at players for the draft. I got a quick look at the Matrix a few times when Cluck left his laptop on at work, but my eyes burned for 2 days afterwards and I kept having the inclination to trade my top rated hitter for a 5th tier starter. It's locked down, not for prying eyes, and has "The Curse of the Dontrelle" on it. The Matrix/Cluck combo is strong and churning out championships. We will see if the trend continues? Congrats on a great season!
