Not if you happen to have dealt with Sean Egan (do a google search on Sean Egan and/or Egan Jones) . . .

 I do not know what algebraic formula you used, but my best adviceto you is to retain your players that will "load" your team next year, or so you think.
You put too much stock in the DL playerson your roster. Heck, if all of them perform as you expect, you would not need to solicit a dump deal now, wouldya? Feliz will be a middle reliever, Santos will be lucky to set-up, Danks likely won't pitch again thisseason and Markakis is well, Markakis--modest power, modest BA (but certainly better than that Pearce fellow you spent $16 to acquire).That said, if you can acquire about 15 newplayersthrough your dump deals with the Bombers andAYM you very well may not need much from your DL guys.

 I also am offended how your "math" subtracts the Red Hots, Daddies and LMC from the pennant chase. Each of those teams can follow your lead and point to injured players who soon will lead them to the Promised Land. And, each of those teams can point to various cheap keeps to offer in deals, as can the Nukes and Brats.

 So, don't try to restrict trade or intimidate those of us (in particular, the K-9) who carry the goods you seek to purchase at discounted prices.We don't "owe" you anything or anyone, no matter how you calculate the ways to manipulate us.

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
