"Their closer is Jose Veras". Brad, may I kindly remind you the Brats also have closers Jim '40+saves' Johnson and Glen Perkins, so once I have a 40 game lead in saves, please all takers offer me a live body at SP or OF. I might also suggest that Miggy is a better candidate for anchoring my CI. As for Dominguez and Wallace, can't argue they are both flyers on a pretty bad team- but at low salaries hold plenty of option value.<div>I wish I had: sold my prime end-of the-table spot to Brad for $25</div><div>I regret: stocking my roster with 6 closers or closers-in waiting and neglecting SP and OF.</div><div>Steals: not so sure about Veras as of yet- he stunk as a Brewer. I'd make better argument for Craig Gentry at $1- don't pencil in Leonys Martin quite yet for Texas' CF spot. Scott Diamond at $1, Jemile Weeks at $1 and the aformentoned Dominguez at $5 all honorable mention.</div><div>Finally, I concur with Doug....don't go counting your chickens before they're hatched- the Brats are in it to win it.<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:58:35 -0500<br>From: bljansen@gmail.com<br>To: announce@usml.net<br>Subject: [USML Announce] Brats, We Have A Problem<br><br>If the numbers of Astros players on an active roster correlates to a team's fortunes, the Brats indeed may have a difficult time defending their Damon. Their CI is anchored by Dominguez and Wallace and their closer is Veras. Not good. Not good at all.<div>
<br></div><div>Rips have two, Altuve and JD Martinez, the latter of whom should be replaced by Aaron Hicks in good time, so that's not too bad, I hope.</div><div><br></div><div>Winick's picktoclick Hoosier Daddies have just one, Justin Maxwell, he of the .220 career BA, with an even worse Fernando Martinez waiting in the weeds. That does not bode well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>MRH, the preordained champs, have zero, as do the Berliners. So maybe Berliners do have a shot....</div><div> </div>
