[USML Announce] Madam I'm Adam: League Steels Itself For Anticipated Arrival of Adam Jones

[Brad Jansen]

Dicated but not read by Jeffrey H. Winick:

"USML owners should take note of  who the Riptorns did *not *trade during
their alleged restocking of magic beans," observed the ever wily Jeffrey
Winick, Surgeon General of the Berliners.  "You did not see names like
Brandon Wood, Travis Snider, Clay Buchholz or Adam Jones cross the hot wax
wire--and for good reason: some if not all of this incredible young talent
will be counted on by the Riptorns as they plot out their second-half surge.

"I have little doubt that studs like Phil Hughes, Adam Miller  and Joe
Saunders will soon bolster the Rips' pitching ranks.  But my keen eye is on
the rising star Adam Jones, who is pegged to take over RF for the Mariners
as soon as tomorrow.  This is a boon for the Rips, but I must add it's a
boon for this League as well.  Why?  Because AJ is another Junior, a kid
with a big smile, a huge heart and monumental talent. We should be happy
that such an exciting young ballplayer will soon be on the Rips' active
roster, for all of us to enjoy. And whatever SBs and HRs the Rips may have
parted with in their rash of deals (see, eg., the struggling Bobby Abreu and
crippled Dave Ortiz) will now be replenished by the numbers posted by Adam
Jones, to a degree that makes me wonder if even I can hold off the Rips
during the forthcoming Dog Days.  Did anyone besides me see this coming?

"That is all, and I remain, with warm self-affection,

JHW"
