Favorite John Sickels writeups 2006

  For those who have received the book, I thought it might be fun to share what you felt were some of your favorite writeups in the book.  One of the reasons I buy John's books is for his creative descriptions and so I like hearing about players who you got a kick reading about.

  Since I don't want to intrude on copyrights, I figured we could just list the player name and then we could all look them up on our own.

  To start things off... I got a nice chuckle out of the James Loney writeup. =)

Hands down
Josh Willingham's. I think John echoed the sentiments of all fantasy players that have been sitting on Willingham :)

Without question
slickwdb and church study groups everywhere should steer clear of this one.  

Sometimes ya just gotta say it how it is and there is no other way to say it in this case.  Free Josh Willingham!!!!

i don't have the book in front of me
and i can't remember who the player was, but i wasn't expecting the one that was written entirely in WWII fighter planes.  i was like, "oh, snap!  i think he just called this guy a zero!"  wait, that was dunlap, is that the one you're talking about?  dunlap and loney are like the same guy.  i don't remember anything about loney's, i don't think i read it yet.
