Welcome back, Marketplace. Astros available:

[Cardinals]

With us being able to send in trades in a little over a week, I'd at least like to begin talks to see what else is out there.


I am looking to upgrade the 3-4-5 spots in my rotation. I also am in dire need of a 3B.

I am willing to package the following players in a trade to upgrade my rotation and or 3B:

Barry Zito
Anibal Sanchez
Mark Mulder
Scott Mathieson
Corey Patterson
Troy Percival
Cristian Guzman
Donald Veal
James McDonald
Glenn Gibson
Henry Sosa
John Raynor


I will also make Jason Bay available in hopes to upgrade my offense elsewhere. Ala Bay + one of the aforementioned for an offensive upgrade.

I am happy with Lincecum, Beltran, Rios and Orlando Cabrera. Every where else, I'm looking to upgrade. Anybody besides Lincecum can be traded for, but Beltran and Rios will be a little tougher to grab than the others.

You all know where to find me and for the newbies, astros@ibcleague.com or on AIM: stlvertigo.
