Right, we never use our valuable quota time reading email accounts of every
double-A player that has recently been added to the Marlins, er,
Riptorns....

Great.  I'm using valuable quota time to read stuff like this...I'll check
in later, when hopefully I can entertain some serious offers for Adrian
Beltre and Corey Patterson...
 
...speaking of spell-check, Andy,  did our President/Commander-in-Chief
really say he's a "decider"?  Whoa...where did that come from?  "Hey,
Dickie, look at me! I'm a decider! I get to decide things!"  At least he
does read page one of the newspapers... 
 
Later! 
Brad the prospector

What about the guy who praises a trading partner? What stage does that put
that guy in?

Classic Jansen Stage 1.5.  He's puffing useless minor league magic beans for
the sole purpose of planting a seed in the minds of next year's victim(s).
"Hmmm," future Victim thinks.  "If Brad thinks this guy is special, maybe he

really is."



Next year, of course, we move to Stage 2.  Brad swoops in on Victim and
intones, "I really liked [Insert Useless Magic Bean here] when I traded for
him last year.  But now you need to take him back and give me [Insert 
several top-flight players here].



Then we're onto Stage 3.  Jansen is rolling toward multiple titles, and
Victim is left scratching his head while surfing minorleaguebaseball.com for
stats on their useless players.



Don't say you weren't warned.  And expect to be mocked next year if you fall
for it!



That is all.



-Andy
