[USML Announce] Draft Day Busts and Bargains...

[Brad Jansen]

Andy:
  It's perfectly OK to take potshots at me, as well as my players. But
please note that my brief analysis was limited solely to players obtained
during the auction and *not* (i) retained players (i.e., Justin Huber) or
(ii) players traded to me (i.e., Justin Huber).  And if will stoop as low as
attacking players bought for less than $20, then you ought to include A.
Marte.  At least Upton is kicking butt in the minors!  Gotta go--I'm
listening to Ronnie Santo go ballistic as Cubs are about to cough up another
one....
