Since everyone else is posting, I'll post, too. Picks available, prospects available. Main needs are right-handed starting pitcher who is better than what I have and possibly an OF bat upgrade over Cabrera/Markakis. I know, I know. You're thinking, "Pat, you ask the impossible. No one's better than Melky/Markakis." But I know you guys are smart. You'll find a way. PM or gchat works.

Considering a couple guys for the trade block. These would both be moves for contenders.
Adrian Beltre. He's got the 22nd best sim by WAR, but isn't producing for me and he's struggled in real life. He's old, but under contract another year and will still have a valuable projection next year. I understand the flaws here, though. With a potential Turner/Seager/Crawford SS/3B situation next year, I'd consider moving him.
Tanner Roark. Another guy struggling in real life, but Roark has been a stud in the sim. Roark checks in with the 33rd best sim by WAR, but has been used mostly out of the pen in Washington in real life. For the IBC Tigers, however, he's been lights out: 2.94 ERA 11-6 134.2 IP 83K 31BB. Never a huge strikeout guy, but he gets out. I was forced to put him in the pen with the acquisition of Teheran. But he'd make a great #3 for a team looking for a 2015 rotation boost.
Nothing in particular in mind for a return. I'm open. PMs work.

With a decent amount of pitching depth, I'll add Joe Kelly to the trade block. Good stuff, just hasn't put it together yet. He did predict he'd win the Cy Young this year, so expect a miraculous end of the season. Usable sim, just turned 27.
