[USML Announce] Winick Announces Latest Project "The Up And Comers"

[Brad Jansen]

And no, it's not Jeff Winick's pornographic autobiography.  Let Jeffrey
explain:
    "The latest vehicle for my talents is a new email publication which I've
cleverly dubbed 'The Up and Comers,' a feature devoted to profiling young
talent making its major league debut.  Most of the articles will be about my
players, of course, but I do solicit contributions from other DUMP members,
subject to my editorial discretion.

     "The first article will cover Adam Jones, the latest and most brilliant
Mariners prospect to roam CF.  I stole him from Brad, as I acquire so much
of my fine young talent.   Speaking of steals Jones already attempted one
last night and even though he was caught by my algorithim that means he's on
par to steal 25-27 bases next season and 35-42 in 2008 unless he bulks up
his lower torso by more than 8.25 pounds.  He is 20 years old and never even
played OF until late last year. Touts project him as the next Mike Cameron,
which means that I need to hang onto him until he's 30 to enjoy a return on
my investment.  By my calculations in baseball year 2008 I must exercise
Jones' option and up his salary to $60.  It will be  a modest price to pay
to watch this young man blossom and to accumulate all his magnificent
numbers....unless, of course, I can convince Brad to take him back in
exchange for Jim Thome...."
