[USML Announce] Winning FAAB bids and issues

[john.fruit at usbank.com]

Thanks Mark- our messages crossed in cyberspace (great Packer minds think
alike). How about baseball trivia for the tiebreaker- I've got a whole slew
of them here.

Gang:

  These moves may not get posted until Wednesday night, so I wanted to
provide a list by team of the winning bids (and the nightmarish "next
closest bid" in parenthesis).  Also, there is a problem we did not discuss
that needs to be resolved.

Hoosiers:  R. Rodriguez - 9 (none); E. German 14 (14) -- see note below.

Winick:  J. Cabrera -16 (10)

Klein:  C. Silva -20 (8); D. Osborne -12 (none); R. Barajas - 8 (5); G.
Knotts - 5 (none)

Brats:  T. Perez - 19 (15); D. McCarty - 15 (none)

Nukes:  S. Pond - 12 (none); C. Durbin - 6 (none)

Bombers:  E. German - 14 (14); J. McKinley - 7 (none)

Red Hots: T. Laker - 5 (none); M. Scutaro - 10 (none)

  As you can see from above, there was a tie for the winning bid on Esteban
German, and there are no "prior weeks' stats" against which to break the
tie.  Suggestions on this issue, in which I have an interest, are invited.

  Also, Bombers bid on J. McKinley; I am unclear if he was available to be
bid upon.

  I will monitor messages throughout the day to determine what to do with
all these.
