Not really in a trading mood, but figured I would start the thread... Got some relievers that I might part with in Nate Field and Andre Delossantos. Would like prospects back. As always, I'll listen to any offers even ones for Real. Just let me know.
The Wakefields have fallen from their days of back to back nlcs battles. The once great depth in the bullpen has been swallowed by age and free agency. So, the rebuilding project of the universe is underway. All talent available, all prices negotiable, everything must go.
I hate to do this but I am putting up for sale one of my all-time favorite sim players in Desi Relaford. He is #1 in the NL in doubles and ranks in the top 10 in batting right now. He can play all of the infield positions and the outfield. He is guaranteed .800 OPS. The only downside is his age but he will only probably play this season and the next and then his contract is up anyway. He would be a great stopgap measure or middle infielder for a contender. Let me know if you are interested.
Arizona ZirconiaBacks News: Arizona announces that Carl Crawford is now available. If you are interested, I'm usually in the chat room from 4p.m to 11.pm. What I'd want in return is two STUD prospects. Thanks for listining, Truth.
The activity in here was amazing. To help that you are now allowed to pester the Indians for trades again.
With the trading deadline tonight, the Wakefields offer up their heart and soul of the franchise to be picked upon by the ever present nightmare of rebuilding. Any playoff teams looking for a push, have at it. MR/CL Danny "Sub 3 era" Graves 7 6 6 8 7 6 SP Tim "Playoff" Hudson 7 6 6 6 6 6 SP Miguel "2008 all star" Ascencio 5 6 5 6 4 6 CL Eric "Sub 4 era" Gagne 5 6 6 4 7 8 and many more...
For those who need starting pitching help, I have Bartolo Colon available. Yes he is old at 35, but he is a "7" in avoiding runs and hits...he is just having an off year like everyone else on my team this season. He is making only 4.5 million and his contract expires at the end of 2010. With Mieses, Lewis, Lopez, Jessie Ray, and Prior/Baugh, I have no room for him. I would prefer to get an absolute bullpen stud back for him, one that has ratings similar to Victor Zambrano or Tim Spooneybarger but better performances as my bullpen has killed me this year. However, I will take prospects if they are good. But bullpen is my biggest weakness right now. So, if you are interested, let me know. Could probably get this trade in before the deadline since it won't be until next weekend before the next sim.
I don't know if you're all aware, but the Indians are winning the WS this season, so you can all just start your rebuilding. And I'm not only mean in taking the WS title this year as I'm willing to help some of you rebuild by offering up a lot of class players. Code: Name Age Pos HITS HOMERS WALKS SP STA RANGE 1) K. Simon 25 RF Good Brilliant Brilliant E B D 2) H. Rhea 23 1B Average Brilliant Brilliant E D C 3) S. Aiken 24 CF Average Good Brilliant C B D 4) J. Camarena 23 3B Average Brilliant Good D D E 5) G.

Okitsugu 25 C Average Fair Good C E B Now isn't that a group of some fine players to pick from. All the other prospects are available too, but I can also offer up a neat player that is not considered a prospect. He will be available for one reason only. He will not win a WS for me. The name of the unlucky soul? Code: Name Age Role HITS HOMERS WALKS STRIKEOUT DUR C. Amezcua 27 SP Good Brilliant Good Good B I have a couple of offers in already, and I will trade at least one, if not more of these player before the trade deadline. You want to increase on that?

Just a reminder - Bartolo Colon is still available for some good relievers (my preference) or prospects. We have about 2 more days before Zac sims again, so let me know if you are interested in Bart.
And just as an FYI - Rhea, the 1B prospect on my list is just as good as C if not better, and should really be listed as such.
I couldn't imagine a world without a stat bot and some clutch all star pitchers and hitters coming together.
Deano - my cup runneth over with desire for Jonathan Worsham, and my prospect list runneth over with folks you may enjoy in return for Mr. Worsham's services.
Zac, I have gotten my bench press max up to 235, so I may not look like it but I have gotten to be a big dude! Seriously, I will listen to any offer for any playerr but on someone like Hammond (in which the offer has to be out of this world), Mark Prior or Kenny Baugh HAS to be included. Oh and I'll say once again, that Bartolo Colon, who finished ranked #1 in my ratings, ahead of such studs like Mieses and Jess Lewis, for pitchers is available. His contract will be expiring after the 2010 season. I need a very strong reliever in his place.
Jon "Wuxia" Worsham is so unavailable he may actually become available within the coming post-free agency period.
