<P><STRONG>WINNER:</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG> </STRONG> Hoosier Daddies. Soria, Bailey, Olivo, Eva ....... Alright roto gods, whose Cheerios did I piss in? Nevertheless, with my plethora of exciting keepers, this opens up the gates to wheel & deal and put some fear into Winick. That's right, the H.D.s are still playing for 2012!</P>
<P> </P>
<P><STRONG>LOSERS:</STRONG> </P>
<P> Anyone who waits until June 1, when the minor leaguers can be dealt.</P>
