[USML Announce] Notice of Hot Wax Seal

[Andrew R. Klein]

Let the record reflect that I shopped at least one of my pitchers to Mr.
Robbins first!

 

And, Rich, when you plug in to roto, give me a call.  I have some *great*
minor leaguers to offer you ...

Jeff,

 

I think that you were dealing with someone who is impersonating Andy.  Sure,
the real Andy would shed pitchers.  However, we all know that Andy would
never seek magic bean minor leaguers.

 

Mr. impostor, who are you and what have you done with Andy?

While still waiting for Kerber and Gammons to share their trade, I decided
to go out and make a little news of my own.  I am pleased to announce the
following mutually beneficial transaction between the Berliners and the
Klein Nine:

 

Klein Nine trade Brad Radke (17)(Y2), John Lackey (6)(Y2) and Bronson Arroyo
(10)(Y2) 

 

FOR

 

Erick Aybar (2) and Aaron Hill (5) (or as Mark Kerber would say - a couple
of magic beans).

 

The thinking of the two participants was as follows:

 

Klein - (i) wasn't going to keep any of the three anyway since the K-9 don't
spend more than $5 on any one pitcher who isn't named Pedro; (ii) takes $33
draft dollars off the table; (iii) picks up two top 25 rookies with cheap
contracts.

 

Winick - (i) magic beans only sprout once in a blue moon; (ii) there's no
time like the present to go for it; (iii) picks up solid skills pitchers at
a little less than inflated auction value and avoids the free-for-all for
decent pitchers at the auction. 

 

That is all.

 

Jeff Winick
