[USML Announce] Lets Make A Deal

[Brad Jansen]

Jeff, your "intended keepers" list exceeds allowable limits and, in any
event, reeks of hucksterism and shenanigans. No way do you keep A-Rod at 32
now that Kate Hudson's gone and Beckham at that price and that position is a
non-keeper. I can' t wait to see how many guys you have to trade for someone
to take on Gordon.  And I thought Lars Anderson and Moutsakas were on my
team.  Please, do your homework before you ask me to devote my time and
energy to such nonsense as fantasy baseball.

Brad Your Biggest Booster Jansen
