Snog Discusses the Karma Kams

Snog! has been very busy of late, but Snog! does not apologize. Snog! feels that you are lucky to have Snog!, so you'll take what Snog! gives you and like it!

There are certain necessities in life. Air. Water. Nourishment. Karma. No, not the belief that some cosmic force will dope slap you for staring a little too long at the backside of some hottie strolling down the street. The Karma Kamelons have offered up more entertainment value in the CPL than all other teams combined. From the day 1 (literally) drafting of Rheal Cormier ("I need a lefty reliever") to the absolute inability to say no to any trade, KK can be pointed to for some of the "classic" fantasy moments. Of course, under normal circumstances this would result in, well, BOBZ BOYZ, but this franchise has Karma on its side! How else can Snog! possibly explain the "success" of this franchise? Those cosmic, karmic fantasy gods must have a thing for teams that provide comic value. Snog! digresses. KK has lacked the ability to stick to a plan for the past 2 seasons. One week he'll trade FOR an allstar OF, and the next week he'll trade AWAY a different star for a draft pick. Huh?!? But Snog! is making the assumption that KK's ultimate goal is winning, and we all know what happens when we make an assumption. We become an Ass and the Ump will Shun us (thank you Fresh Prince of Bel Air). Apparently, KK's goal is to have fun. Snog! cannot complain about this as Snog! enjoys covering KK almost as much as that model franchise that won the league this season. Snog! believes that KK does have some good keeper options for the '09 season, though Snog! fully expects KK to ignore those options in favor of a late-inning defensive replacement with multiple position eligibility. Were KK to heed Snog!'s wisdom, he would most likely choose to keep Dustin Pedroia, Prince Fielder, Brandon Webb and Nate McClouth. The fifth choice should be traded for a draft pick, as the remaining options are huge injury risks (Chipper, Harden) or are not quite keeper quality (Hunter, Drew, Damon, Cliff Lee).
