[USML Announce] To The Victors and The Spoilers:ARiptorn'sPerspective

[Blocker, Mark B.]

I am not suggesting he is a candidate for "draft day steal."  He's not.
But you lampooned him (or more accurately, my purchase of him) most of
the year, and I was just wondering if you had a change of heart after he
slugged 34 HRs.  He certainly never hit the .260 that was projected on
my software.

  Also, where do you come out on Mark Reynolds?  Too big a BA hit to
warrant the $$$, or about fair value?

My Dear Brother Blocker:

   

     My email stated that Alex Gordon was the winner of the $5 division
of the Steal of the Draft Award.

      Had you exercised some restraint, you would eventually receive a
dispatch that discusses all other division winners. Mr. Melky certainly
was a candidate for the $6 division, but in light of your conduct I
disqualify him and instead award the trophy in the $6 division to Alexi
Ogando: 13 wins, 3.58 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 123 Ks.

      Cabrera, however, will remain in competition for the $6 steal of
the draft whose name ends in vowel, where he may fare better against the
likes of Torrealba and Olivo. In fact, I think every $6 player except
Capps has a name that ends in a vowel. Funny how life works.

 

Brother Brad

He's a keeper, no doubt, but the sentence would get too long.

 

But my Original Point stands:

 Red Hots: championship, a parade, cash payout, plus keeper Crisp

 Daddies: Alex Gordon, winner of the Steal of The Draft Award, $5 class

 Brats: 4th place and Weeks

 Rips: nothing.
