Haven's Baseball League Season 4 Trade Discussion Thread

Superstar closer Trevor Hoffmann is now available. However, it will take several quality players to land him.

 

I'd be interested in Ordonez. I could give you Morgan Ensberg and another prospect for him. Ensberg hasn't put up very good numbers this season, but last season he put up terrific numbers. He's probably just in a slump right now.

let me know what you think.

 

The Giants are now going into rebuilding mode, so I am having a firesale. Anyone on my team is available, but mostly the veteran players. I want young players, that will make a difference eventually, if not now. A few of the standout guys available are:

Barry Bonds...Good/Avg/Brilliant/Brilliant/Avg...still may have another season or two left at 39

Randy Johnson ...Good/Fair/Good/Avg/Brilliant...having an off year, but still can produce

Shawn Estes ...Avg/Avg/Brilliant/Avg/Avg...also having an off year, but a solid pitcher with plenty of years left.

Anyone on my team is availabe, with the exception of Pudge. My needs are all pitching, OF, 1B, and SS/2B.

 

DH,

Lieber, Quist, J. Powell, Borkholder for Estes, Aybar?

I'm not interested in picking up that much salary, so I'd want to deal you another solid pitcher like Lieber for Estes-- I wouldn't have room for them both anyway. Quist is an average-good-average-average-average pitcher with B duration, and Powell is an AAA reliever who looks ready for the big leagues. Borkholder is a young 20 year old OF who you can develop...

 

Well, Steve Finley has decided this season would be a good season to decline. So I am in need of another CF. Preferably young, if possible, but if not, then I don't want a superstar. Make me an offer.

 

I've decided that I'm willing to listen to offers for Randy Wolf or Tony Armas. Both are excellent young pitchers. I'd want equality in return.

Franchise, I know you like both of the above players. I like Eric Milton and Josh Phelps. Hit me back, maybe we can work something out.

 

I would like Randy Wolf, Tony Armas, and A Perez. It looks like you need a closer. Does Trevor Hoffman interest you?

 

Manny:

I wouldn't tell you this if I thought Zac would do the deal, since if a new guy can rob a vet, more power to him...

...but Hoffman isn't worth Armas or Wolf. he's certainly not worth both. No closer, no matter how good, is worth a quality SP. Relievers simply aren't as valuable.

Besides, Hoffman's substantially older. You'll have better luck dealing players if you ask for reasonable deals.

 

RR,
i have Jose Cruz Jr available
im looking for Bullpen help


Manny: are you still interested iN Cruz?

 

Possibly...I'm on lunch right now, but I'll be tied up the rest of the day. I will be in the chat room around 9 and I can talk to you about it then.

 

For any of those who want bullpen help, I have one of the top closers in the game available, Kazuhiro Sasaki. I have a young closer close to ready for the callup, so I'm thinking of dealing him for prospects. I can package, and could really use a catcher. Let me know if any of you have interest...

 

What with the incredible mediocrity of my current team, and the NL West in general, I've decided it's time to start building a respectable team from a little above the ground, up. To that end, the following players on my team are available.

Paul LoDuca
Keith Osik
Greg Colbrunn
Joe Randa
Ramon E. Martinez
Randy Winn
Morgan Burkhart
J.D. Drew
Randy Wolf
Darren Dreifort
Steve Karsay
Dave Veres
Maximo Regalado

I didn't bother listing players who are OBVIOUSLY available, like Hiram Bocachica. I'm wanting good, close-to-ready prospects, for the most part. 3rd base and LF are the only positions for which I REALLY don't need a player. A 2B or SS would have to be extremely good to be better than what I've got, future-wise. All other positions, show me what you've got.

 

Franchise:

I'll trade you Hoffmann for Cruz Jr and Bolivar. Let me know something by 7 tomorrow morning if you can.

Thanks

Manny
