[USML Announce] USML Today: Who's Up, Down and Holding Steady

[springkerb at aol.com]

Gotta call you on a few of these, Bradley.



First, Klein walks away from a couple of these guys, but Joey Devine has an appointment with the dreaded Dr. Andrews, so Zeigler is The Man in Oakland. ?One out of three isn't bad for cheap closer prospects. ?And the K9 do not consider weak pitching a weakness--it's a sign of character.




Speaking of which, how does Morrow's closer gig reduce his value for the Bombers?




As for the Nukes, I'm pretty happy with Redmond and Perkins at a buck each. ?They aren't stars, but they probably won't kill me. ?And how long has Percival's health ever lasted anyway? ?But as for Ryan, heck yes, I'm worried.




Rips. ?If you're ready to move Perry, I'm here for you.




Brats. ?Sheff will land another AL gig. ?Meanwhile Thames gets the PT he needed. ?So the Sheff waiver is a plus. ?And you missed the elephant in the room--Joey Devine's most recent elbow injury.

UP....


?? Daddies: Clement to minors and Escobar to DL,? but Chris Ray of Light will bring in badly needed saves and Wise and Nady earn starting gigs--at least for a few days.


?


?? Mighty Red Hots aka All-Beef Franks:?key trade bait not subject to recession.
? Prices continue to climb.


?


DOWN....


?


??? Berliners:?couldn't move?trade chips Duchscherer and Sherrill?before inevitable declines, Vernon Wells already hurting, Blocker won't return calls.


?


??? Bombers: will have to wait for Price and Wieters to contribute badly needed numbers. ?Morrow sent to pen and Owens to pasture.


?


??? Klein 9: weak pitching staff can't afford injured?Bonderman, ineffective "closers" Rodney and Lyon.?


?


??? Nukes: Percival's health reduces Wheeler's save opps, Ryan's decline reduces his save opps. ?Redmond and Perkins not best Twins to have on team.


?


??? Riptorns: Lackey and Hill to DL hurt pitching cause.?Can Tiger twirlers Porcello and Perry?ride to the?rescue?


?


??? LMC: Team's gamble on Mauer Power?not paying off, and Hafner is toast.


?


??? AYM: Colon. Contreras. Ka-blam.


?


?? Flaming Brats: Offensive cornerstone Sheffield may not land another gig and Span is?not the Man.????


?


HOLDING STEADY.....


???? 


???? Republicans: ???Because at the end of the day, you know he's right.
