Well, I gave it a run.. but given some of the injries I've sustained the past few weeks, I've slowly but steadily fallen further and further out of the WC race. Being 7 games out now, has given me pause about the direction I should go this year with my squad. So I'm going to start entertaining offers for just about anyone and everyone on the squad.
I've got some useful parts that wouldn't cost a ton that contenders could use to make a push. Guys like Rolen(VG D at the hot corner with a solid projection, and his stick is showing signs of life in MLB), Pettitte(should come back relatively soon, solid projection), Blanco(need a backup C with an EX arm?).
Got some players that would cost more, but might also be useful in Ike Davis(playing much better, 117+ OPS, VG power against RH AND LH), Kendrick, Rollins.. Ludwick(doing well in the sim, and as I expected, much better in MLB.. he's got an OPS north of 800).
I've got guys like Lohse and Feldman, who would be solid at the back end of a rotation and wouldn't cost a ton. Guys like Alvarez and Masterson I'm open to moving in the right deal, but their cost would be considerably more.
Looking for pen help? I've got arms coming out the wazoo. Veras, Hererra, Walden, Blevins, Masset(should be back soon from DL), Coleman, etc.
I've got prospects I can deal as well, if it makes sense. Guys like Austin and Davidson are going to be tough to get. Most of my prospects are having pretty good years.
Overall, just looking to add more overall talent if possible to the franchise. PM is best way to reach me over this weekend, as I'll be busy but checking in. Got the son's first birthday party and a couple of baseball games comin up over the weekend. Upcoming vacation on the 7th.
