I'd like to add a reliever who can strike people out.

Let me know if anyone is available who fits the description.

I've had some discussions, but turns out I don't have many chips.

Eddie Kunz
Jon Niese
Joey Gathright
Alfredo Figaro
(Adrian Cardenas - Not gonna deal him for a 40-year old RP)
Chris Johnson - #5 prospect in Astros farm (BA)
Santo Franco

I'm sure I can be more creative.

Also, Ramon Hernandez - Catcher, has underperformed for me. He could be available as well.

I got my reliever in Putz.....Still looking to add a bat.

I was banking on Glaus to provide impact in my lineup, but that's looking less likely now...and I'm not sure how much longer I can hold it down without him.

Looking to upgrade in the following area's:

LF - I have Raul Ibanez, the NL MVP in the MLB. He's hitting well, but I'd deal him for someone who hits better than well this year.
CF - Reed Johnson. Hitting over .300 for me, but not much speed or power. Would need an OPS over .750 to be considered an upgrade
3B - Glaus....damn. Larish/German/Murphy have held it down, but I have zero confidence over the full season.
C - Ramon Hernandez is hitting .200. Ramon Castro is a back up, and shouldn't be starting, but now is.

Same things available.

Jon Niese
Jess Todd - his #'s are unreal.
Neftali Soto
Joey Gathright
Alfredo Figaro
Chris Johnson - #5 prospect in Astros farm (BA)
Santo Franco
Raul Ibanez (see above)
Ramon Hernandez - C, VG D, VG power against LHP
Rashun Dixon - toolsy prospect
Tyler Chatwood
Christian Colonel - .778 OPS projection at 3B, just not hitting at Citi field.
Willy Tavares - tearing it up for Cincy in MLB

Jeremy Hellickson (very unlikely to deal)
