  I too thought Kerber was acting a little too cocky.  I guess that's what

  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 !!!
