The Big Dog of the recent call-ups is not Trayvon (a cheap synthetic fabric) or Giovatella (a tasty veal dish) or Chirinos (a good wine to accompany Greek-style lamb chops).  It is the Glenbrook Godzilla--Jason Kipnis.  That is all.

O! King!
  I only had $15 of FAAB left.  I figured you of all people would have bid something/anything on Mike Adams, especially in light of Feliz's struggles and ineffectiveness, of which you know more than even the team;s coaching staff. But I admire your confidence in the young twirler and hope that your faith will be rewarded as much as Robbins will be with his low-cost/high-reward acquisition.
 
  The fact that the Italian Stallion went for $11 shows you the USML's  high degree of interest in this power-hittting second sacker. I'm quite happy to add him to my team. I will let our fellow owners and Royals' loyalists tell you how this kid is the pride of the Royals familia.  The numbers will speak for themselves, although I know they shall never be loud enough to drown out your cynicism, your scorn and your brutish nastiness.

  As to your chest-thumping about Rasmus and the $5 catcher: I have spoken my piece on the former and only wish I had enough of a budget to even consider a bid on him: it was a masterstroke by the master of strokes, albeit perhaps not as brilliant as Robbins' move this weekend. Time will tell.  Your $5 catcher is not likely to be retained, in light of your other cheap keeps and guaranteed contracts. So, enjoy his competition against Crushin' Kelly Schoppach these waning weeks of a bitter baseball season, but please, enough of this guy already.

With regards,
Brad Lee

Look, Brad Lee - I've had quite enough of so-called Rangers closers thanks to you.  I'm more than happy to let someone else take a run at the next one.  Last time I checked though, Mr. Adams wasn't off to the most auspicious of starts for the Rangers.  The better question, of course, is where was everyone else, including you?  Giovatella?  Seriously?  You really think he's a key addition to your squad.  Heck, I'd much rather have the catcher from Tampa Bay at $5 (which, in fact, I now do).

In fact, I was tied up making sure that Robbins didn't pull another Teixeira and made sure that he paid a healthy $40 for Ubaldo (but for me Robbins would have gotten him for $23) and that no one was going to get a cheap Trayvon Robinson.  Mission accomplished.  I assumed that you would be doing a little enforcement of your own.  But I should have realized otherwise when you let me grab a top keeper in Rasmus without even placing a bid.

That is all.

Just a heads up that the price of Ubaldo is a bit more than it appears. Because my request to have Rzepocynski(?) and White waived and their salaries added to my FAAB hadn't been processed, I was unable to bid everything I intended on him. He's still a Red Hot, but he's $9 more expensive.
