Angels on the Block

Athletics · Post by **Athletics** » Tue May 25, 2010 12:03 am

Alright, so I have had a chance to look over my team and evaluate it. For the most part, anyone on my roster is available for the right price.

Two things I will say, don't expect me to accept low ball offers and don't think I am trigger happy to accept each deal that comes my way.

I have a plan and winning this year is not going to be a priority.

I would also like to move up some of my draft picks, however I have been informed that the trade committee will not approve trades involving picks until after the All Star Break, therefore I may hold back a couple of players.

Let me know through PM and I look forward to doing business with some of you.

Thank you.

So I have had a chance to evaluate my team over the course of the week and review the rosters for the managers that have requested some of my better known players.

However, not many of the managers provided an actual offer but rather who they were interested in obtaining.

One of the managers that seemed interested in Manny has seemed to shift from buying to selling. So anyone that wants a shot at Manny can reapply.

As for the starting pitchers and closers, I am still reviewing but one manager I have messaged back has yet to respond.

By the way, I will respond to any offer made, if it is workable then we can move forward in ironing out the details, if it is not, then we may have to head to the drawing board to find something that will.

I am going to narrow my trade block since putting up the whole team was not working.

Players that seemed to draw the most interest outside of Weaver:

Manny Ramirez LF/DH and 1B(no defensive ranking, but worked well there for interleague play)
Randy Wolf SP
Bronson Arroyo SP
Ryan Franklin CL

Others:

Jose Vidro 1B/2B
Jose Guillen RF
Pat Burrell LF/DH

I fully understand these players will be short term fixes for any team that accepts their services.

What I would like in return:
2B or 3B upgrades (mlb ready or prospect)
Draft pick upgrades (looking to convert my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th round picks into 1st, 2nd or 3rd round picks)

I am aware a trade involving a pick would need to wait till ASB weekend.

Thank you.

Jose Vidro? Really?

Maybe you can trade:

Larry Walker
Gary Sheffield
Mike Mussina too.

What is wrong with trading retired players? I am sitting on Joe Crede and he might as well be retired.

But what I meant to say was Jose Lopez.

Manny is still around for any takers and yes I realize he is quite old, but he still swings a mean stick in the sim.

Sorry for being late on this response, but as a Mariner's fan I have to ask: Is there a difference between Lopez this year and Vidro with the M's? Just wondering.....

In search of a Left Handed hitter as my overtly right handed lineup seemed quite ineffective at times and not just because they are a bunch of scrubs...I am well aware of that fact and working to change that tide.
