[USML Announce] Year In Review: What Happened?

[Richard Robbins]

Huh?  It's not August yet.  A couple of interleague trades and some bad
bounces for the Red-Hots and I'm in third place.  C'mon guys.

 

That said, if Andy or Jim (or anyone else) can deliver a speedy outfielder
within my cap constraints, I'd seriously consider moving David Price.

I also congratulate Rich on a well-earned victory. Jim B. -- still a few
days to go if you want to talk about swapping a few guys so you can
guarantee a second-place finsih.
