I knew that but my idea was you perhaps needed someone to pitch against lefties and not a lefty to suck. Nunez got a 7 vs lefties (and only 6 vs righties) so you could say he is as good if not better vs lefties than he is righties, and he's had a good ERA for years now with last year being a bit out of the ordinary, but still not bad either. He also pitched in a new role (or split the closer job) last season so that is why his saves (and innings) were down.
But he is also a "4" in avoiding walks against lefties while he is a "7" in avoiding walks against righties. He is okay but he isn't any better than Mike Buddie, ratings wise. I am sorry but I am not trading Pudge unless Collins is included (along with Lunsford and Lee). Pudge is too valuable to me to be traded for anything less.
Juan Gonzalez has been on the block for over 2 seasons...maybe i'll find some takers with his contract expring this time? Just looking for youth...maybe a prospect SP.
Well I was interested in Juan Gone at the time, but the price was too steep back then. I'll see after FA what I have, and if the price is right now, I might offer.
For those that need bullpen help, I can offer one, only one, of the following: Mike Buddie Kyle Farnsworth Matt Anderson My preference is to move Buddie, but I can move one of the other two. Just make an offer and I can tell you if it is a good one as I really don't have any pressing needs. Prospects would be nice, though.
Heath, I haven't been able to catch you in chat, is there any way you could e-mail me? I want to talk to you about a deal for Ramirez. Although he really would be a minor player as I was wanting to inquire about a larger deal. One that includes Ordonez.
I see no deal that we'd agree on that includes Ordonez. With that contract I almost consider him to have negative value in a deal.
I'm putting SP Roca (#41 on the Top 100) on the block to upgrade my SP. Any teams out there interested let me know. Heath - nevermind....you wouldn't be interested
damn edit button.....I'd also take offers that included hitters. But I would have to be able to turn around and trade one of my position players for a SP.
I am in need of a 2B, SS, or possibly a 3B depending on the position you offer. I am offering CF Stanley, 3B Koskie, 1B Swisher or pitching prospect. If you are interested in Stanley then any IF position will do (except 3B) as I can then move Pujols back to the OF. If it's Koskie or Swisher then I will need a 2B or SS. I can also include someone like Jimerson, Blanco, or pitching prospect in a deal if need be. Let me know via e-mail.
I got this Oakland E-mail lying around. I don't know if you got it or not, so I'm forwarding it. DATE: Sunday, 3/31/2006 Trade offer Dear Sir, I would like to offer you following trade: MR Stephen Fultz in return for C Peter Lary. Please let me know if you accept! Best Regards, Florida GM
Heath, Still interested in Pudge? I hate to trade him, especially now with the season he is having, but I have to keep my payroll under control (thanks Jack Cust...). LMK if you are. I would need to take Spiezio off my hands, simply because I grow tired of dealing with him. The last time we talked about this, I was satisfied with Lunsford and Lee but never could get that 3rd part wrapped up. I'm okay at the bullpen spots now, but I would like a prospect, preferably one in the top 100 (hint: SS/position player). You are getting first crack, but unless someone really blows what you can offer out of the water, I *think* that Pudge *may* be returning home to you.
Oh, damn - I need Chuck to get the ratings back in the profiles. I'm a junkie for players' splits and I have to evaluate Spiezio.
Well, I can tell you a little about Spiezio, or as Chuck and me like to call him, Sandfrog. He is a switch hitter, who normally hits lefties better than righties, but last year, he really struggled against lefties. Has outstanding defense at 1B with A range and over .990 fielding percentage. He also can play 2B, 3B, RF, and LF. As for the "extra", I am interested in Clyde Clyde, because I like his talent ratings and I love the name. However, I could be persuaded to take Allen Baxter instead.
Anyone who is interested in the evil and greedy Mark Mulder, let me know. Just make offers. Most people know what offers I like.
Heath - what is the word on Pudge? I need to know if you are still wanting him because I have some other deals in the works involving other players.
