[USML Announce] Nukes

[Doug Shabelman]

I'm not willing to concede anything to Captain Hansen and his DL'd crew of
merrymen. 

The dean is not THE MAN yet...Dellucci be damned....

Doug,
 
I think for this season we're all going to have to get used to saying that
The Professor, er The Dean is THE MAN (at least until he screws it up).
 
Jeff 
 
P.S.  As between Nix and Kubel, I'll take Kubel every time.  However, that
doesn't make Kubel The Man.

In the words of a real professor, er dean, Andy Klein, Jason Kubel is The
Man.

That is all,

Doug

I completely agree with Doug's assessment of Nix.  He'll only play until
Matthews gets healthy, which should be soon.  Since Matthews is hurt, it was
still a pretty shrewd pick.   But buyer beware if Kerber is pitching this
guy in a trade - he still sucks.
 

Dearest Prof. Winick:
 
You're entitled to your opinion--although we'll never know what it really
is, of course.  As for me, I'll just check the PECOTA on Mr. Nix and note
that he's given a 59% chance of improvement and a 41% chance of a breakout,
with projected numbers of .265-10-40-40-3 in 285 at-bats--all assigned when
the Texas outfield picture was a bit more cluttered.  By way of comparison,
Kubel is given a 27% chance to improve over last year and a 9% chance of a
breakout, with numbers of .285-5-21-20-2 in 185 at-bats.  For a buck, I like
my chances.
 
Your humble student, 
 
Mark
