[USML Announce] You Traded Lugo For What??

[springkerb at aol.com]

I think that's really unfair to the Josh Hamiltons of the world.  In fact, look how far TB has come in their drafting and development.  They used to have herion addicts and fights with team mates.  Now they have whittled it down to pot and run-ins with umpires.
 
If that's not progress, I don't know what is.  Heck, pretty soon they'll have narrowed their issues down to excessive drinking and wife- or girlfriend-beating--just like the rest of the baseball world.

Thats "sabermetrician", Brad Lee.  And "makeup" is always part of the evaluation 
of a prospect (as well as prima donnas like JD Drew). And I'm not talking about 
what you put on your face for special occasions.

Jeff: 
 I guess I'm just a softie for troubled youths, such as you. Anyway, since when 
do you ever listen to scouts? I thought you were a saber mathemetician or 
whatever you call it.

I think I'd rather have someone like Justin Huber--and I guess I do.

This just in: 
  
Angry words were heard through the door of the Riptorn clubhouse when team 
President Conor Jansen got word of the latest transaction of his general 
manager, Brad Lee. 
  
"Do you read nothing?  Haven't you seen what Jeff Winick had to say about 
Upton?  Just when I was starting to feel better about your decision making, 
based in large part on your ability to pawn this guy off on someone else, you 
turn around and reacquire him." 
  
Conor could then be heard picking up the newest edition of the Sporting News and 
whacking Brad Lee on the head with it.  "It's not like Winick is alone in 
calling out BJ Upton as a bum," said Conor.  "Listen to what the Sporting News 
had to say: 
  
The Devil Rays have been willing to talk about trading top hitting prospects OF 
Delmon Young and IF BJ Upton all winter, but the player teams are more wary of 
might surprise you.  It's not Young, who was suspended for 50 games last summer 
after throwing his bat at an umpire in a Class AAA game.  Rather, its Upton, who 
was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 draft but is a shaky fielder and has 
struggled to find a position.  A rival scout says he soured on Upton when he 
refused to pick up baseballs at the end of a batting practice at Class AAA 
Durham last year and brushed off a Bulls coach in the process.  "There are 
serious questions about that kid," the scout says.  "I just don't know how much 
he wants to play."" 
  
"Great job, Dad." Conor was heard muttering as he left the room. 
  
That is all.
