Can you also identify the "cheap closer?"  I can't find a closer on the list you circulated.

Mark, missing Ortiz was a huge oversight on my part. I marked him, then inadvertently omitted his name from my analysis. As for Kipnis, I just didn't see him making the final cut at 18. Cobb certainly warrants consideration as a rookie. Since Winick is the expert on minor leaguers I figured he could contribute on that front this holiday season.

Wow, this was already a great sports weekend for me (Packers over Bears live at the Spaceship, Blocker over Klein in FFL), but now to have Brad anoint my team as “in competition” in USML is really over the top.  And Brad, this time it looks like you actually looked through my roster before assessing my team (I will cut you some slack on forgetting Oritz ($1), Kipnis, and Cobb), which is truly a rarity!
 
Thank you, sir, for your kind comments.

The season's first snow is predicted to fall this Thursday....Shandler's annual forecaster is in the mail....and Winick already is wheezing about his great team....so it's time to get serious and start taking in-depth looks at what teams will be doing when it comes to managing their reserve rosters.....in seasons past there was little to talk about when it came to the Bombers, but this year is an exception. The BBs will take aim at the Berliners with a low-cost high-value reserve roster that automatically puts this team in competition when 2013 rolls around.

To wit:

  Trumbo-11

  De Aza- 7

  Reddick- 4

  Saunders-2 

  Avila-7

  G. Holland-5

  Quintana-5

  Romero-11

  .....and the BBs will take their pick amongst the likes of Hammel, Lewis and sentimental favorite Sogard

 

Bottom Line: Low-priced, low average run prodcuction, a cheap closer and a chip on the shoulder. All this spells trouble for the Berliners if they seriously think they can challenge for the 2013 Damon.
