[USML Announce] Berliners' Austin Powers The Whiff Machine

[Brad Jansen]

Andy, I don't know why you always pick on me. But on the topic of ST stats,
I note only that Austin Jackson's ST performance is consistent with his
struggles at the plate the last two seasons (too many ks, too few BBs and
actual contact). I cannot account for John Danks's ST woes, nor why I spent
$17 on him, but my belief is that I will be far better rewarded by Danks
than Winick will by Jackson.
