IBC

Despite being the hottest team in the league since June, I fear I may have been done in by a bad start. Not completely out of it but not completely in it. Willing to listen on the following players.

Chris Bassitt: He's been my best pitcher the last 3 years and he seems to always sim really well. He's having another good year in real life which means he'll slide in as your 2/3 guy next year as well. Currently sitting at 2.54 ERA 13-6 in the IBC. Immediate rotation difference maker.

I have Tyler O’Neill, Bryan Reynolds and Seiya Suzuki at COF. It looks like O’Neill and Reynolds are going to lose their CF eligibility next year. All three are 29 and are having similar years. I could move one for help at 3b, 2b or CF.

Jake Cave: Starter sim at .266/.331/.473 VG/VG, VG/91 in LF, AV/109 in CG, VG/148 in RF.

Anthony Rendon: We all know what not to like about Rendon. Here's what's still to like. .263/.361/.414 sim with AV/45 D. I'm sure he'll stay healthy just as soon as I trade him.

Following guys available for mid/late picks:

Phil Bickford: 4.22 ERA sim, 11.8 R/9, 10.0 K/9.

Kenta Maeda: 4.51 ERA sim. starter/reliever sim.

Enyel De Los Santos: 3.94 ERA sim, 11.1 R/9, 8.9 K/9.

Woo-Suk Go: 75 GB%!, 4.05 ERA sim, 12.3 R/9, 11.4 K/9.

Tyrone Taylor: .234/.291/.424, plays all 3 OF positions competently

Anthony Rizzo: Take him.

My immediate needs are 3B, 2B and CF. Looking for quality over quantity and I'm looking to compete next year. Make me an offer, I'm a busy man and I'm no around a computer much between now and the deadline.

Mix and match these guys for draft picks/prospects:

Jake Cave: Starter sim at .266/.331/.473 VG/VG, VG/91 in LF, AV/109 in CG, VG/148 in RF. Strong side platoon sim is strong.

Tyrone Taylor: .234/.291/.424, plays all 3 OF positions competently

If you have a gaping hole at a corner spot, a platoon of Cave/Taylor could fill it pretty well while giving you flexibility throughout the OF.

Anthony Rendon: We all know what not to like about Rendon. Here's what's still to like. .263/.361/.414 sim with AV/45 D. I'm sure he'll stay healthy just as soon as I trade him.

Phil Bickford: 4.22 ERA sim, 11.8 R/9, 10.0 K/9.

Kenta Maeda: 4.51 ERA sim. starter/reliever sim.

Enyel De Los Santos: 3.94 ERA sim, 11.1 R/9, 8.9 K/9.

Woo-Suk Go: 75 GB%!, 4.05 ERA sim, 12.3 R/9, 11.4 K/9.

Traded Anthony Rendon and Tyler O'Neil. Mix and match these guys for draft picks/prospects:

Jake Cave: Starter sim at .266/.331/.473 VG/VG, VG/91 in LF, AV/109 in CG, VG/148 in RF. Strong side platoon sim is strong.

Tyrone Taylor: .234/.291/.424, plays all 3 OF positions competently

Combine these two for a pretty effective platoon down the stretch.

Phil Bickford: 4.22 ERA sim, 11.8 R/9, 10.0 K/9.

Kenta Maeda: 4.51 ERA sim. starter/reliever sim.

Enyel De Los Santos: 3.94 ERA sim, 11.1 R/9, 8.9 K/9.

Woo-Suk Go: 75 GB%!, 4.05 ERA sim, 12.3 R/9, 11.4 K/9.

Chris Bassitt: He's been my best pitcher the last 3 years and he seems to always sim really well. Currently sitting at 2.91 ERA (10th in the league) and 14-8 in the IBC. Immediate rotation difference maker for a contender.

Yandy Diaz: Not keen on moving him but I'd at least listen if a team needs a 1b for the stretch run.

Biggest need is CF.

Would trade the following for draft picks/low level prospects:

Jake Cave: Starter sim at .266/.331/.473 VG/VG, VG/91 in LF, AV/109 in CG, VG/148 in RF. Strong side platoon sim is strong.

Tyrone Taylor: .234/.291/.424, plays all 3 OF positions competently

Combine these two for a pretty effective platoon down the stretch.

Phil Bickford: 4.22 ERA sim, 11.8 R/9, 10.0 K/9.

Kenta Maeda: 4.51 ERA sim. starter/reliever sim.

Enyel De Los Santos: 3.94 ERA sim, 11.1 R/9, 8.9 K/9.

Woo-Suk Go: 75 GB%!, 4.05 ERA sim, 12.3 R/9, 11.4 K/9.
