[USML Announce] Here's One Rip Who Won't be Reserved....

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Hmm....the website does not list him on your team, but we can sort that out later.  I am sure you were giving serious thought to retain him at $29, which I would recommend you do in spite of the firearms issue.

What?! Simon's on my roster dated 9/21/10...$29...I needed him active
to stay above the floor....please tell me you're wrong, Brother
Mark....

....but, Mark, I do appreciate you're taking a moment to review my
roster, a moment that may prove beneficial to you as you by now
realize the depth of my retention roster, even sans a Simon: K.
Morales-16; E. Andrus-10; E. Encarnacion-5; A. Jackson-5; J. Smoak-2;
C. Perez-5; B. Anderson-5; G. Gonzalez-7; T. Cahill-1; N. Feliz-2; C.
Carrasco-1; C. Sale-5; S. Santos-5; K. Jepsen-5; Desomond
Jennings-10(M) ....shall I go on?  Clearly you see a trade possibility
ripe for exploration--and since it usually takes all season to
consummate something with you, why not get started now....?

....hey, Buddha, I know you're not too big on female empowerment and
you probably have a life-size poster of John Wayne dressed as a Green
Beret in your man cave and all that, but ya gotta see the new version
of True Grit...the girl definitely is better than the one in the first
movie and Jeff Bridges--well, look, he's the Dude, Buddha, what more
can anyone say?
