[USML Announce] NO WAIVERS

[Andrew R. Klein]

Rich--

Apparently, you did not see my previous declaration:  Mike MacDougal is officially The Man.  (And besides, we did agree to count walks as a *positive* category this year, didn't we?)

Also, as for never having to say you're sorry in the USML:  This league owes me *dozens* of apologies.  I'm going to work on the Top Ten list right now ...

I'll see you all Friday!

  I don't see a closer on Andy's roster. Maybe Marte someday . . .

  Amazing!!  Despite the fact that we're drafting well in advance of the season, I believe this is the first time that there have been no last minute waivers.  



  So.....what do we make of the fact that the Klein Nine kept McDougal?  Klein's going to have a closer coming out of the draft for the first time in a long while.  I, for one, and going to miss the moans and groans when one closer after another goes for just a little bit more than Andy thought was reasonable.  I suppose this year, there will be little cries of glee from the Klein Nine portion of the table.



  And, what to make of the fact that Lance "The Man" Carter actually stuck on the Block's Bombers roster?  Could this mean that having reaped the benefit of a well balanced trade we're about to see the Block's Bombers turn over a new leaf?  Count this voice as still very, very, very skeptical.



  And, finally, what conclusions are to be drawn from the fact that the Nukes, locked out in the corners and the designated hitter slots before the draft even begins, did nothing to address this strategic disadvantage?  The smart money says that Kerber will be shaking the trees looking to turn Josh "Baby Branyon" Phelps into anything other than a designated hitter or corner guy.  Be prepared for his seemingly innocent inquiries.



  LET THE GAMES BEGIN.  42 hours and counting!!!
