[USML Announce] USML Media Stars

1.  I wouldn't do that.  Maybe if we were talking about a hitting prospect, but a pitching prospect would seldom be worth it.
 
2.  An expert is someone who was right once.  But I'm going to buy the magazine anyway.  (Q:  Will Winick's picks and pans be his real ones, or just his publicly available misinformation?)

I was about to jump into the Benson thread, but thought better of it.  Frankly, I couldn't handle the disturbing image of Kerber in some parking lot saying, "Wait a minute, Anna.  I have to input this last evaluation of John Papelbon into my spreadsheet before we go further."
 
Anyway, I went to Borders yesterday and bought the new Fantasy Baseball 2006 Guide.  You may recall that this is the magazine that gave Winick some space for commentary last year.  Well, this year Winick is touted as a full-fledged expert, complete with an artist's rendition of his mug on the magazine's third page!  For the record, Jeff, I am crying bullshit on two things:  (1)  Unless you've used a lot of Rogaine in the last year, the drawing seriously misrepresents your hairline.  (2)  I want proof of the claim that you have averaged a victory a year since 1988.  (Although, I guess if you play in enough leagues ...)  I'm in the process of reviewing all of Winick's "Picks" and "Pans" and will interpret them for the league at a later date.
 
And, Blocker, when is the draft date?
 
That is all.

PS:  Actually, that's not all.  My brother reported that Rick Gammons was recently in the Chicago Tribune sports section musing about the best-ever quarterback names.  Rick ... my bro says that you identified yourself as "Rick Gammons, Buffalo Grove".   Don't you know that until October, you are supposed to identify yourself as "Rick Gammons, 2005 USML Champion, Buffalo Grove"?!

I just showed this string to Karen.  She thinks we've taken this Fantasy Baseball thing a bit too far.
