Some acquisitions work out, others have painful results. So far this season I have acquired Mike Lieberthal, Al Leiter and Greg Maddux. Jose Ortiz, Richie Sexson, Paxon Crawford, Hideo Nomo, Jeromy Burnitz, Russ Ortiz and Roberto Alomar. Lieberthal, now out for the season, was painful. Leiter and Maddux are pure joy.
Timing is everything.
Alomar is the only player I dealt that was selected in first-half of the draft. I sit in fifth place out of ten teams, poised to make a run in the second-half and reclaim my title. The future is limitless. At this point in the season, I find myself so completely and utterly frustrated by some players and other developments that I'm relying on this article as therapy. Rick, I have always been a fan of yours.
