[USML Announce] Berliners at the Crossroads

[Doug Shabelman]

Very surprising that no one has made an offer for anyone such as A-Rod, Texiera, Fister, Hunter, Cruz....while I have not officially thrown in the proverbial towel as my friend Mark seems to be doing below (peddling a $41-melt-in-the-summer-heat-faster-than-butter-Prince Fielder), I am always open for business...just not for Hosmer.

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
