[USML Announce] Berliners at the Crossroads

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Brats/Nukes/Berliners/Hoosiers:

The Bombers have done the math too and do not think we can put together
a team that would threaten for the title.  If you (or in Kerber's case,
Yu) want to make serious offers, please get in touch.

Gentlemen,

I've done the math and I encourage you to do the same.  Short of a 
significant and unlikely turn of events, this league will be won by one 
of three teams this year:  Brats, Nukes or Berliners.  I've sent out 
feelers to those of you who aren't likely champions and the lack of 
response suggests that either you disagree with my assessment, you're 
biding your time or you're willing to settle for a finish somewhere 
other than first without having improved your prospects for next year.

Despite the tales of woe spouted by my good buddy Brad Lee, my title 
prospects remain strong.  Wil Myers will be recalled soon.  Nick 
Markakis, John Danks, Neftali Feliz and Sergio Santos should return 
shortly after the break.  And sooner or later Hosmer, Youkilis and 
Moore will heat up to the extent they haven't already.  And yet, I sit 
a mere three points behind the Brats and only 2 1/2 points behind the 
Nukes.

Hosmer, Cabrera, Doumit, AJax, Santana, Plouffe, Moore, Nova and Peavy 
are all sure to help a team next year.  And prospects like Myers, 
Machado, Lindor, Buxton and Walker will provide help for the future 
and/or trade bait.

If there's no interest in a deal beyond the nonsense that Brad Lee has 
been sending my way lately, then so be it.  I'll see if my team has the 
cojones to pull this off without any outside help and then come back 
next year loaded for a repeat.  But if you want to get a head start on 
the 2013 Damon - you know where to find me.

That is all.

Jeff
