[USML Announce] Berliners See Red Over Eric

Mark,

It's me - I'll let your words speak for themselves:

If your email box is overrun with emails from Brad and his weekly 
"information," you may not have noticed that the Orioles have promoted 
Xavier Avery to the majors.  The 22-year old SPEED MERCHANT has stolen 
35+ bases each of the last two years in the minors, and already had 8 
swipes without being caught before his promotion yesterday.  The 
Orioles have wisely installed young Avery as the leadoff hitter on an 
improving young Orioles roster (Andy: Wieters is like an elder 
statesman on this team).  The time is now to start making offers for 
this fine young prospect, who is a ROTO BARGAIN at $2. (CAPS ADDED for 
emphasis).

Not as flamboyant as the typical Brad Lee advertisement, but I believe 
the message is quite clear.  But if you're really looking to just dump 
this guy for nothing give me a call.  He probably will steal 5 bases 
this year which makes him worth trading a schlub for.

Jeff

Jeff or Brad:  I am quite certain no email I sent contained those words 
about Xavier Avery, although he remains an excellent prospect.  But 
thanks for your "safe" guarantee about Mr. Myers.-----Original

 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-----Original

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------
