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..."

Hey Brad, Damon is a dog of a retainee, not a draft day bust. Actually, I'll
take his 38 runs and 11 SB. From where I stand, Rodrigo Lopez at $9 was a waste
of the lead used to pencil in his name. Of course now that he is off my roster 
he'll morph into Juan Marichal. Finally, while draft day inflation led to Vernon
?Wells being priced at $36, he still is hitting over .300, is 6th in total
bases, 9th in hits, & 10th in rbi...if that's shockingly overpriced, what does 
that make Manny Ramirez at $40?

While impatiently waiting Jeff Winick's quarterly report on the state of
USML affairs, as well as his review about his earlier prognostications, I
decided to submit to the League my list of draft day busts and bargains. 
Chime in, lads!! ?Here goes:

The Busts:
?46: A-Rod--Klein knew what he was doing not bidding this high...
?38: Hafner--too much money, too little pop this year
?36: V. Wells--shockingly over priced
 ?30: R. Sexson--ugly numbers
?27: Damon--a dog
?26: T. Hunter (cf. to J. Thome...)
?25: Beltre--makes me sick, physically
?25: Guardardo--toast, but still may get a few saves as Ms peddle him
? ...oops, forgot the Unit at 26--ouch 
?26: Huff...and puff about this one
?Cabrera/15 and Baker/13: see Winick's vitriolic attack in his pre-season
forecast--right on the money, Jeffrey!
?21: Foulke--doing nice at set-up role
?17: Garland--no thanks 

Bargains:
?1: Putz--cheap closer
?1: Zumaya--will he close or start? ?With that 100+ fastball who cares!
?7: Crede--coolin' off but still great value
?1: Otsuka--closer!
?1: Borchard--Repubs plan ahead by padding FAAB account! 
?10: Mussina--moose is loose!
?9: Hansen--wait! wrong column!!

Hon Mention, bargains: Broussard-8, Roberston-1
