[USML Announce] Re:

[Brad Jansen]

John:  You're correct on all points, but the statute of limitations has
passed.  Otherwise, strike Damon and Wells from the Busts and add Kendry the
Cuban Comet Morales to $1 Bargains...or to quote the beloved Jeffrey Winick,
"Morales is the best young hitter this League has seen in some
time...ceratinly better than Covelli Crisp.  Kudos to the Red Hots for
having the foresight to draft him in '05 and to the Rips for having the
foreskin to dump for him in '06.  There are lessons to be learned from this
and I gladly will teach those willing to listen..."
