Why don't I just fill the Jansen role from 2002 and have *both* of you guys
give me all your good players?!

Anyway, Pool Notes will be forthcoming tomorrow with appropriate props for
Jeff.

rosters.

all of that talent back into the pool.

take over the role of prime Winick trading partner.  The requirements are
that you must be willing to exchange the same player between our two teams
from one year to the next and be prepared to accept wild swings between
first and last place from year to year.  One caveat:  despite the nice ring
of Kleinerliners and no doubt despite Mr. Klein's longstanding desire to be
Berliner trading partner numero uno, the Klein Nine will not be considered.
To do so would undo the third requirement, which is a willingness to endure
the slings and arrows of Andy Klein.

hand deliver the Damon to my office later this week.
