[USML Announce] Ask Brad

Mon Mar 5 22:41:25 EST 2012

Or maybe the current Delmon Young, god willing.

Brad - I normally share the belief that draft should be as close to opening
day as possible (if not after) for the same reasons you mentioned.
However, it does benefit me to have it earlier on this year given my
expansion franchise status.  I look forward to your promotion of this idea
next year though.
