Top 5 Reasons Winick Won't Even Beat Me (Let Alone Win):
 
5.  Too busy with other leagues
 
  Jeff, as we all know, is an Expert.  He write roto  columns.  He hob-nobs 
with (and apparently provides legal services to) the  Roto Establishment.  But 
as the league's lone Expert, Jeff will rightly  size up USML as the proverbial 
lost cause -- he can't win -- so he will spend  his time on one of his many 
other roto leagues.  For teams like mine,  unaccustomed to the Upper Tier, 
these are salad days, and so we will  soldier on.  Jeff knows better, so he will 
spend his time elsewhere.
 
4.  Brad is no longer in the league
 
  Oh how Jeff longs for the days when he and the Riptorns flopped the  same 
bevvy of players back and forth on alternate years.  No more.  If  he is going 
to beat me, he will have to do it without an overly friendly  face.  That's a 
lot tougher.
 
3.  He has nothing (and mostly never had) anything left to  trade.
 
  Buyer beware here.  So far Jeff has managed to squeeze a couple  decent 
players for his usual handful of baby-faced beans, but there is truly  nothing 
left on his roster.  I will be the first one to mock (and pity) the  fool who 
hands over the storehouse keys for the likes of John "Long Shot" Danks  and Tino 
"I've Shot My Wad for the Year" Martinez.
 
2.  Blown opportunities
 
  Jeff had a real chance to improve his team by dangling Crawford --  who 
would have brought a ton -- but with the Posednik trade and the  remaining speed 
on contending teams, Jeff has no way to recoup the speed if he  does deal him. 
 After Crawford, what's left?  (See point 3  above).
 
1.  My team is better
 
  Self-explanatory.
