[USML Announce] Calamari Not Hip to Nap's Injury

[Brad Jansen]

*ITEM*

Boston Red Sox <http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/bos/boston-red-sox>first
baseman Mike
Napoli <http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/28444/mike-napoli> revealed
Tuesday that he has avascular necrosis in both hips, the same degenerative
condition that ended the career of two-sport star Bo Jackson.


*LOSER*

Lake Michigan Calamari. Will team flounder or flourish with aging and
oft-injured veterans such as Napoli (17), Hamilton (32), Ellsbury (30) and
Konerko (26)? Time ticks down for this team to decide whether to fish or
cut bait and enter draft with buckets of money and Jurickson Profar.


*WINNER*

Riptorns. Napoli's condition and pending retirement all but ensure that
exciting Will Middlebrooks (1) will bat somewhere between 3rd and 5th slots
in Bosox lineup, generating run production even beyond Jeffrey Winick's
wildest fantasies.
