Mark,
You can stop checking - it's from me. If it were from Brad there would
have been either a subtle dig accompanying the compliment or a
subliminal message seeking to entice you to make a bad trade with him.
To put things in proper perspective for you, I'd say that I can safely
guarantee that Myers will be better than Xavier Avery and as you've
already told us, that makes him worthy of a major dump trade.
Jeff

Jeff: Thanks for the commercial. I had to double-check to see if the
message was from you or Brad, but further investigation is underway.
For the benefit of the rest of the league, though, would you say young
Mr. Myers is the next Hosmer? As for the Bombers, I noticed that as
of this morning I am tied with the Klein Nine. If you want to know how
to tell if a team needs to consider dumping, proximity to the Klein
Nine is definitely a litmus test. Hopefully my team's fortunes will
pick up, but if not, you know where to find me. -- Mark -----Original

Announce] Berliners See Red Over EricMark,You don't have to be the
president of the Berliner Fan Club to recognize the potential in young
Mr. Myers. This was just posted to ESPN.com:1. Wil Myers, OF, Kansas
City Royals (Last week: unranked)Last week's stats (at Double-A
Northwest Arkansas/Triple-A Omaha): 8-for-22 (.364), 2 HR, 6 RBIsSeason
totals: .345-13-31, 4 SB in 36 gamesUpdate: No. 1 with a bullet! Myers
was tearing up the Texas League, hitting home runs in five of six games
at one point while hitting .343-13-30 in 35 games, but considering he
wasn't on the Royals' 40-man roster and was sitting at Double-A, and
with the Royals not expected to contend, Myers didn't look like much
more than a September call-up. Then came Thursday's promotion to
Triple-A, an indication that the Royals might be thinking much sooner
than that.What he can do: One of the best pure hitters in the minors,
Myers combines an excellent approach at the plate with a
lightning-quick bat and rapidly developing power. He's not a runner,
but he has everything it takes to be a middle-of-the-order impact
bat.Of course, you won't be interested because rumor has it that you're
all in this year and foregoing the annual drive for five. Nonetheless,
if you happen to change your mind, you know where to find
me.Jeff-----Original Message-----From: Blocker, Mark B.

Mighty Moustakas moves to first and Wil Myers (who is seeing time again
at 3B) will get called up and likely lead the Berliners to the Damon.
Myers is the best minor leaguer available on anyone's team other than
mine.Brad On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 9:53 AM, Blocker, Mark B.

went 0-for-7 in Wednesday's 15-inning loss to the Orioles.Hosmer's
latest brutal night makes him just 9-for-59 in the month of May, and
leaves him with a borderline unfathomable .174/.237/.319 triple slash.
We still expect Hosmer to ultimately make himself useful in mixed
leagues this season, but there's no reason for him to be in your
starting lineup outside of deeper AL-only leagues for the time being.
If he continues to struggle to this magnitude, it's not inconceivable
that Kansas City may send him to Triple-A to iron out his swing.

Eric ITEMEric Hosmer is vastly underwhelming in his sophomore
season.Over 34 games, he has a .174/.243/.326 line in 144 plate
appearances. In a season where very little has gone right, Hosmer is a
big part of the “gone wrong” column.LOSERSBerliners. With Swisher
falling back to earth, Doumit sidelined and Upton underperforming,
Hosmer now offers only faint hope for team desparately thirsting for
power production as hopes to capture Damon START TO DRY UP.WINNERAdams
Family Values. Berliners' raging desire for Chris Davis only grows
deeper with each Hosmer o'fer as AFV SMELLS BLOOD IN THE
WATER. ------------------------------------------------------------------
