Riiight... So some guys are available. Pedro, Boone, Manny, Green, Burkett, etc. Prospects. Looking for some good shiznit.
With the development of Jeff Heaverlo, and the fact Oakland needs to be budget conscious, Woody Williams or Cory Lidle are available for prospects, a good cheap hitter or possibly solid, but cheap bullpen help.
All of my prospects are availible, as are most anyone on my team excluding my rotation and bullpen. I am open to all ideas though......
The following Houston Astros are available. I would like a good young CF or prospects. J. Bagwell 34 1B Average Brilliant Good C B C D. Ward 27 LF Average Average Average E E B J. Lane 25 LF Average Good Average C B C J. Lugo 26 SS Average Fair Average B D B S. Reynolds 34 SP Average Good Good Fair B M. Mantei 29 CL Good Fair Average Brilliant D C. Qualls 24 SP Good Average Average Average B G. Miller 23 MR Average Average Average Average C H. Pichardo 33 MR Average Good Good Fair C
I think that if I can get either Jose Valentin or Miguel Cairo, then Jimmy Rollins will be available for pitching or prospects. Let me know if you're interested in this speedy little leather-flashing devil. In circular fashion, I only want Valentin or Cairo if someone wants Rollins. But Drew/DHR, let me know if those fellows might be available.
I am looking for a good SS. Anyone of Abe Nunez, Marcus Thames, or Aaron Rowand can be traded. Womack and Everett can be packaged for a better SS, and I also have some good pitching prospects. Lemme know if you are interested.
I see that you got your SS, but I was wondering what you planned on doing with Kevin Millar because I have some interest in him if you plan on moving him. Let me know.
Zac, I doubt I could give up Cairo, mainly because I am very thin in the infield. Currently he is my starting 3B. And I only have 1 guy as a true backup IF. Pujols will play some 3b and maybe 1b, but he also has to start in the OF. But, that could change before the season starts if I get some depth.
I am interested, and open to any offers for Millar. Quite frankly, he isn't needed here, and this would allow me to play an outfield of: LF-Rowand CF-Thames RF-Burrell So bring on the offers!
To any who want a solid young cf, Terrence Long can be yours for prospects. Also, good of/dh Dave Justice is attainable for a solid cheap bullpen arm or prospects.
Just a reminder I have several veterans available for teams that need an extra push to get over the top. Bagwell .272 5 18 4 Biggio .275 1 5 1 Reynolds 3.67 2 1 0 1 1 Milicki 4.91 1 2 0 0 0 And I might consider dealing Cliff Floyd but it would have to be for some really good players. I am looking for a 1B and CF prospect. I also have a ton of minor league prospect pitchers.I may be willing to deal them or add them into a deal. However Rosario and Patterson are almost untouchable.
Miguel Batista is possibly available as are a couple of relievers. Batista was my best pitcher in 2002 but has struggled this season. However, he still has a good ratings and I would need a SP of equal value in return for him. Prospects don't do me much good as I am trying to win now. Could take on a lesser SP with a very good reliever if you are willing to take Gary Glover or hasegawa back. Let me know if interested.
I am looking to deal for a LF/RF or a 1B to gain a little more depth. I'd be looking for a starting caliber LF or RF, or at least one that could split some time out there, but the 1B doesn't have to be an everyday starter. I can easily give up some bullpen guys, and maybe prospects.
I can't get in the chat, so Rule is our trade going down or what? IM about it. Or do something, email me, I'm pretty sure that we had a deal in place.?
For those who need bullpen help, I have some guys available that are cheap and fairly young in: Eddie Oropesa Erik Sabel Gary Glover Ideally, I would like to get pitching back, especially starters. I would be willing to "rent" a player (one with an expiring contract) or one that has like a year or so left on their deal. Old players are okay as long as they aren't older than 37 and still have average in hits. For example, Woody Williams would be a good example of the type of player I'm looking for. So, if you are interested let me know.
I have a spare SS in Lugo and could package him with another player. I'll catch up to you in chat tonite if you are going to be around. CK
