With friends like you, sir.....
But if you're coming after me, how about we allow at least a kernel of
truth into the discussion.
Eric Hosmer is struggling, but he's still managed to hit 5 home runs
and knock in 20. And he's still just $5.
Austin Jackson regressing? He has 20 walks to go with those 29
strikeouts. And he's hitting .331 with 5 home runs, 17 rbis, 6 stolen
bases and 29 runs. He'll never be a SB threat again? Why is that? He
is working through a minor abdominal injury and should be playing today.
Ivan Nova now has 52 strikeouts in his 42 innings. He's still a work
in progress, but at $2, there's a lot to like here.
Matt Moore looks lost. But that just makes for a greater opportunity
to steal him from me.
Grant Balfour is a piece of crap that Brad Lee pitched to me as a top
notch closer. Move on - there's nothing to see here.
Of course, Brad Lee doesn't mention:
Carlos Santana and his 5-22-21 numbers as a catcher at $11
or
Ryan Doumit and his 5-24-13 numbers as a catcher at $8
or
Asdrubal Cabrera and his 5-19-22 numbers as a shortstop at $13
or
Nick Swisher and his 7-27-15 numbers for $19
or
Jake Peavy and his 5 wins, 2.39 ERA, .0906 Whip and 55 strikeouts at $9
(and just to beat you to it, it's more likely he ends up with the Red
Sox, Yankees or Rangers than in the NL)
and we haven't even mentioned the beans, like:
Wil Myers, the man proclaimed by ESPN (and our very own Brad Lee
Jansen) as the best prospect in baseball
or
Manny Machado, BB America #11 prospect
or
Francisco Lindor, BB America #37 prospect
or
Taijuan Walker, the Seattle pitcher that gave them the confidence to
trade away Pineda and the BB America #20 prospect
So, wax on about the absence of "good stuff" on the Berliners roster.
I'm guessing that you're not buying the BS if you've read this far.
You know where to find me.

Sir Jeffrey:
Nice peacock strut.
For those owners who are short on the time it will take them to
identify the "best stuff" on your team to acquire via a lop-sided dump
deal, I have assembled the info for them:
Eric Hosmer: .177 BA in 158 AB; heading to minors
Austin Jackson: Up to 29 Ks as regresses to old ways, DL-bound,
may never be SB threat again
Ivan Nova: 5.69 ERA/1.65 WHIP
Matt Moore: stats too terrifying to post; brutal tour through
baseball's toughest division reminds us he's no Dylan Bundy
Grant Balfour: "future closer," blah blah blah
If anyone has questions or requires additional information, please feel
free to email me.

Another player traded to me by Brad Lee that bites the dust. Rest
assured it's all part of the evil genius's grand plan. But look a
little closer Mr. Jansen. The Berliners roster was built to deal with
contingencies such as this. Mr. Getz will be replaced and the
Berliners will be fielding a full offensive squad come Sunday. No
middle infielders needed. And that light hitting third baseman from
Boston - he hit a home run tonight in his first game back. Check the
standings oh ye bearer of doom.
But the Berliners are prepared to put this nonsense to rest and lock
down the Damon. To all of you who have some interest in building up
your teams for next year, you know where to find me. First one in line
gets the best stuff.
That is all.

Subject: [USML Announce] Berliners Getz More Bad News
ITEM
NEW YORK -- Needing pitching depth, the Royals called up left-hander
Will Smith from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday. At the same time, they
placed second baseman Chris Getz on the 15-day disabled list with a
left ribcage contusion, an injury he aggravated during Monday night's
6-0 victory over the Yankees. The move gives the Royals a 13-man
pitching staff.
LOSER
Berliners. Return of lighthitting Youkilis to threadbare offense of
little moment with speedster Getz on DL with no reserve MI on call as
this team is DOWN FOR THE COUNT.
WINNER
Bombers. Plenty of time to convince Berliners to take a try on Sogard
as Bombers HAVE BERLINERS' NUMBER.
