[Jeffrey Winick]

Ummm....Andy....

Please disregard my prior email.  Upon further reflection I hereby 
withdraw my offer of Myers, Machado and Hosmer for Rasmus.

FROM THE espn WIRES:
 

"It is now time…" to call Colby Rasmus' recent hot spell a mirage and 
declare this a perfect time to sell. During his past 14 games, Rasmus 
is a .351/.403/.702 hitter with four home runs, 10 RBIs and two stolen 
bases, and that he's 25 years old and has long been projected to be a 
future fantasy stud might have his owners wondering whether he has 
finally arrived. I say no, he hasn't. Not yet. Take a look at Rasmus' 
schedule during that hot spell: Three games at Rangers Ballpark (May 
25-27), games against starters in funks like Tommy Hunter (May 28), 
Jake Arrieta (May 29), Daniel Bard (June 3) and Philip Humber (June 5). 
Rasmus also hasn't shown substantial improvement this season, neither 
the full year nor in his past 14 contests, in the weakest area of his 
game: He's a .205/.205/.409 hitter against breaking pitches (curveballs 
and sliders) this season, although he did hit a home run off a Humber 
slider on Tuesday. That homer is a start, but Rasmus has work to do. I 
think this is more likely a hot spell and a sell-high opportunity for 
his owners than it is a sign of him having arrived.
