considering all decent prospects and cheap keepers
have been purged from the contenders (Greinke, excluded, of course). 
K-Rod, Lew Ford, Jason Frasor, Ugie, Luis Matos, Juan Dominguez, Matt LeCroy 
and Freddy Garcia all wish to express their disappointment at having been so 
casually slighted.

Good Luck!!!  Try any of those out with Buddha - I await his response with 
great anticipation.  Even a believer in Reaganomics will be able to see through 
that nonsense.

K-Rod is $13 and only the closer until Percival returns.  At $13, he'd have 
to be the closer to be of any interest whatsoever.  And let's see - he's closed 
how many games now?  Lew Ford is having a nice season, but is on a team with 
lots of competition and given a lack of pedigree, he's definitely not an A 
quality keeper.  Frasor is this year's Aquilino Lopez (I'm surprised he's not on 
the list).  Nuff said.  Ugie has only 8 saves for a bad team and is as likely 
as not to be in the NL next year.  Matos - come on, that .249 batting average 
reflects thoroughly mediocre skills.  Juan Dominguez is a rookie pitcher for 
TEXAS....next.  Matt LeCroy was, in fact, acquired for the price of a used 
piece of chewing gum and you overpaid.  Freddy Garcia???  $11 Freddy Garcia??  I 
recall there's one team that traded away a boatload of talent for Gil Meche - 
so there's hope.  But I'd say outside of that, you're unlikely to find any 
takers.  

Mark, you owe the Brats an apology.  They called it like they saw it and they 
were right.

That is all.
