I too thought Kerber was acting a little too cocky.  I guess that's  what 
happens when you win a league title.  I'm ok with either 11 or  12.  I know 
someone who might be interested if we expand to 12.

Nice play on words.  Perhaps mine will be a minority voice, but I  would 
prefer to remain at 11 teams.  The current size of the league makes  for a 
sufficiently challenging game and leaves very few free agents on the  market.  Twelve 
teams would make a lot of sense if we were playing straight  roto, but with 
ultra, so many of the players that would otherwise be free agents  are stashed 
on reserve rosters and there is never more than a dozen or so real  free 
agents.  If we expand to 12 teams, FAAB bidding, which definitely adds  interest, 
will be almost obsolete because there will be no one on which to spend  FAAB 
$$$.
 
Besides, if Kerber and Barrett just want to add another SBC employee as the  
12th owner, I would strongly suspect some anticompetitive motive !!!
