[USML Announce] Year In Review: What Happened?

[Brad Jansen]

Remember that solid Riptorn talent remains available.....prices reasonable
beyond belief:

Dunn-29 (swing is getting sweeter!)
Getz-FA3 (cheap base stealer!)
Cano-FA 23 (power in the middle!)
Adam Jones-24 (5-category stud!)
Scherzer-22 (anchors your staff)
Maggs-12 (scoring runs in potent Tiger lineup)
Matsui (OF eligible!)-8
Vlad-17 (he's the Impaler you need)
Figgins-18 (what happened??)
Sizemore-10 (3B and 2B eligible!)
Beckham-19 (you know what he can do!)
