Guys available:

Billy Burns for best pick offered. Weak 2016. Great 2015. Plus speed at cf. Probably can look at a .250/.300 line. Good 4th of.

Hunter Pence whom I love. Looking to flip him for a lefty or switch hitter, likely lf. Coming off a great season. 2.5 wins in a short season.

Rio Ruiz, Jordan Patterson, Kendrys Vargas. No major rush to move these guys. I think they're all OK. Probably not studs, but ok prospects. Negotiable.

Nick Markakis. Had a nice year in RF. I don't have to deal him, but happy to discuss.

Edinson Volquez, Alex Cobb, Rich Hill.
Hill is likely my #5 heading into the year. He had a monster year. He's old, but that doesn't mean he's cheap. But I understand how that affects value. I expect zips to treat him well.

Volquez is perfect #5 starter material. He'll eat innings and probably get you 150-175 innings.

Cobb is tricky. He's still young, but had a crappy return from tj in 2016. I still think he's a really good pitcher, so it's tough to give up at this point. I wouldn't mind losing one if it makes sense. I'd like to add some young pitching if it makes sense.

I'm going to add another attractive piece to the block: Jon Lester. Outside of one iffy season in Boston, he's been nails as a #2 starter. His walk rate has dropped while k rates have been maintained over the last few years. He's good for 4-5 wins a year. If I do deal him, I'd be looking for a younger starter I could plug in to the rotation at a minimum. If interested, let me know.

Sadly, Lester is gone in the blockbuster. Patterson was moved weeks ago.

Guys I still have:

Pence
Samardjiza
Markakis
Volquez
Cobb
Kepler
Staumont
Kilome
Ruiz
Vargas

My main goal is to pair up assets to bring in an under 28 MLB starter. Also willing to move some for prospects/picks.
