[USML Announce] USML - schedule and logistics (corrected email)

Wed Mar 15 12:58:34 EDT 2023

Agreed, very fun write-up.  But Whit Merrifield is 34 YO and in decline. He won’t be on my rebuilding team.  Prediction: he goes to Jeff W. or Frank.

The two locks from the list below: Cole to Nukes and Bo Bichette to Frank (if he drafts Dante, I am sure it will be for cheap)…..

I’ve now completed my preparations for the draft and in the time-tested tradition of Brad Lee Jansen, offer the following observations regarding those players that are near locks to join the ranks of particular teams:

Brats – Joe Ryan – young potential Twins ace.  Need I say more?
Klein Nine – Yordan Alvarez/George Springer – I now they’re injury risks, but they always have been and they’ve been bid up aggressively by the Nine regardless.  Count on it happening again.
Block’s Bombers – Whit Merrifield - He will be put up for bid with a whisper and he will be bought by the Bombers – protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nukes – Gerrit Cole – the bidding starts at $37.
Hoosiers – Adalberto Mondesi – with his soft spot for injured guys with huge upsides, there’s no question that this is where Mr. Mondesi lands.
Buddha – Kurt Suzuki – as the most notorious of the MAGA baseball players, he belongs on Buddha’s team.  Too bad Kurt Schilling is no longer eligible.
Berliners – Jo Adell – Yea – he’ll be back, unless Mr. B bids him up one dollar too many.
AYM – Tim Anderson – Sox superstar who belongs on the AYM – recently departed Sox players need not apply.
Calamari – Rafael Devers – Mr. Barrett needs a 3B and Shandler says this is the top rated one.  Book it.
LuBeasts – Dante Bichette - Already has Bieber, so the only question is how much money he pays for Bichette.

Let the games begin!

Jeff

Oops. Was that political?

Mr. Bombers,

Terribly sorry, but I cannot seem to find the email with the address of Sidley Austin, is that still the place?

And are there any special instructions for entrance through security?

Thanks mucho,
Jim T., for Buddha Toes

League:  Ignore prior one. Here is a corrected email.

League:  Below are the important details about the draft and pre-draft deadlines.

Key deadlines:

03/11 -- retention rosters due/payment of fees
03/16 5 pm CT -- free player drops due
03/18 8 am -- USML draft

Draft location

place:  Harris Winick, 333 W. Wacker, Suite 2060
time:  8 am sharp

Payment of fees

Instead of trying to collect money at the draft, we are going to collect in advance electronically. This should also speed up distribution of winner shares after the season.  This year, the fee will be $140, which covers league entry fee ($100), the Onroto fee ($10), and registration/hosting of the usml.net<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/usml.net/__;!!EbQPtYtffN8evQ!6g2F9eKczJeqNhSzAQvvoW1sGvC7oft-Dod2pKHE04LOG99cWnR1APEM2mEtew8vAApazPxIrL-iLOffdA$> website ($30). The fees will be lower in future years because the registration fees cover multiple years.

Please send payment this week so we have this out of the way.  You can pay me by Chase Zelle or Paypal directed to either this email address or my cell phone, 847-571-4114.  Let me know if you have any problems sending the money.

  -- Mark B.
