Other post was getting unwieldy so here it is condensed and moved.

Needs on the Farm:
1. 1B & 2B prospects for the future.

Picks:
#11
#27
#38
#42
#57
#63
#104

Alfaro, Nunez, Alcantara, Araujo gone. Roster crunch remedied. Taking offers on above picks until Friday. Would look at SP and IF prospects.

Deadline for acquiring these picks has passed, surprisingly with a grand total of one inquiry.

All is not lost however, with 11 RP onboard I'll take offers of picks for them.

CL Joel Hanrahan - MLB - 1.83 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, .220 BAA, 61K/16BB
RH Joel Peralta - MLB - 2.93 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, .188 BAA, 61K/18BB
LH Brian Fuentes - MLB - 3.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, .237 BAA, 42K/20BB
MR Brad Brach - MILB - 2.89 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, .224 BAA, 94K/12BB
MR Yo Tateyama - MLB - 4.50 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .220 BAA, 43K/11BB

Brach's MLE at AA was 2.79 and at 2.54 at AAA

With Venters being the only RP drawing interest I think I'll change it up. The guys above are available until they get a projection for 2012 then they're not. Reynolds and Belisle get their #'s this afternoon. Belisle was 128 ERA+ last year and Reynolds was 118 ERA+.

Rockies ZiPS in:

Matt Belisle - 73 IP, 3.58 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 59K/16BB, 125 ERA+
Matt Reynolds - 59.1 IP, 3.94 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 56K/21BB, 114 ERA+

Only 5 RP still available.

Condensed and bumped.

RH Joel Peralta - MLB - 2.93 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, .188 BAA, 61K/18BB

OF Xavier Avery - ZiPS - .260/.310/.342, 35 SB, 77 OPS+, LF - VG, CF -AV
OF Tony Campana - ZiPS - .273/.317/.328, 44 SB, 72 OPS+, LF,CF,RF - VG
LF Johnny Damon - MLB- .261/.326/418, 16HR/19SB
OF Yoenis Cespedes - ZiPS - .270/.331/.435, 23 HR, 9 SB, 105? OPS+
OF Logan Schafer - ZiPS - .262/.318/.357, 10 SB, 82 OPS+, LF/CF/RF - AV
OF Adam Eaton - MiLb - .318/.434/.463
C Salvador Perez - MLB - .331/.361/.473
3B Jack Hannahan - MLB - .250/.331/.388, 8 HR
3B Scott Rolen - ZiPS - .260/.315/.441, 9 HR, 100 OPS+, 3B - VG
1/3 Ty Wigginton - MLB - .242/.315/.416, 15HR/8SB
1/3 Taylor Green - ZiPS - .264/.324/.423, 15 HR, 100 OPS+, 3B -AV

I was worried about 2 positions going into the offseason, 3B early and more recently OF. So after a few trades and some FA work I've got too many of each. Campana could find a home on many teams with VG range at all three OF positions, likely EX run and steal, and good bunting ability. Avery is much the same just more raw. Eaton is a complete player and could be a sim starter if his ZiPs is anywhere near his Cairo - .267/.345/.395. Perez is only here until the Royals ZiPS come out as he's likely VG/VG again. Rolen's VG/56 at 3B equates to about +19 Runs Saved over the course of a season, almost two full wins. Hannahan won't hit at that level but he could be EX at 3B(VG/82 last year) which would make him +27 Runs Saved at the same error rate. Green is only 26 and he's projected to hit 37 doubles if he gets 527 AB which is a higher rate than Tony Sanchez last year and he wound up with 50 doubles out of the 9 hole for me. He'll put up big numbers in a park that boost doubles by RHH(16 parks boosted RHH 2B last year). Wiggy and Damon are what they are.

Needs: SP.
