[USML Announce] Top 5 Reasons Winick Won't Even Beat Me....

[Klein, Andrew]

Hey ... if Kinsler is one of the "baby faced beans" mentioned in Mark's
note, I'll give everyone a full update on him tomorrow.  

 

I'm here in Oklahoma City and plan to attend tonight's Redhawks game
with Brat Jeff Cohen, who's kind enough to make the drive up from
Wichita.  

 

Does anyone else have any Texas beans that they want us to look at live?

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.
