OTM Fantasy League II

Last year we had a first try at a OTM Fantasy League and despite some of the initial problems I think in the end the league went well.

Will we be having a go at it a second time? Now we know who actually cares about their team so it can only get better when choosing the users, we can even try something new like a dynasty format with minor leagues.

Who's up for it?

Genarlow Wilson

I know John and some of the others took an interest in this case so I thought it'd be nice to post this.

ATLANTA - A judge on Monday voided a 10-year sentence for a man accused of having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17. He instead gave Genarlow Wilson a 12-month misdemeanor sentence with credit for time already served.

The state is likely to appeal the ruling.

Wilson's original sentence, for aggravated child molestation, was widely criticized on the grounds it was grossly disproportionate to the crime, and state lawmakers later passed a law to close the loophole that led to the 10-year sentence.

Wilson, now 21, has already served more than 27 months. He could remain behind bars while the appeal proceeds.

A jury found the honor student guilty in 2005 of aggravated child molestation for having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl during a 2003 New Year's Eve party involving alcohol and marijuana. Although the sex act was consensual it was illegal under Georgia law.

Wilson was also charged with rape for being one of several male partygoers at the Douglas County hotel to have sex with a 17-year-old girl, but was acquitted. The party was captured on a videotape that was played for the jury.

Several influential people, including former President Jimmy Carter, stepped forward to support Wilson.

Wilson's lawyers could be heard applauding in their office after the order was released.

Best pitching staffs

I'm not going to lie to you and say the reason why I'm starting this diary isn't fantasy related, but while I was researching for it the questions piled up. We all know who are the best pitchers in the majors but who has the best pitching staff?

Right now my top 4 look like this (in that order):

Tigers
Dodgers
Angels
Red Sox

Who would you choose?
