[USML Announce] Straw Man

[Brad Jansen]

Nonsense.  It's all or nothing. If I had known Kerber would not make a
series of contingent bids on Eric Patterson, I would have bid on Blevins. I
think none of those guys you're debating should be available at all at this
season--tough luck if you guys can't figure out the rules regarding this
cursed web site... so will Blocker return from Mt. Everest or wherever he is
before next year's draft....you guys see when your kids have spring break
next year?! (that's right, April--as a single parent I have to worry about
such things)...if you think this debate is nuts wait until we try to
determine a draft day....meanwhile when does *Watchmen *open--I'm so psyched
I could trade Carlos Quentin--ooops, sorry , not until October....
