The only good thing that I have to say about my retention roster is that it
will be inexpensive.
I should be in a great position to really waste my money on draft day.
HOwever, since I've never had a really strong draft, I should have more than
enough rope to hang myself.
It looks like the Johnny Damon could go to a team that has not previously
won the title.
