BGM, you know I'd love to have Austin and I'd probably offer a guy like Josh Girdley in a deal for him, but being the small-market team I am I'd have to work out some financial stuff as well as line up a replacement for Josh. I don't want to put all the effort into doing that if you're not interested, so, um, are you? =)
Alright people, after some negotiations with Carl Crawford, he has offered to take a 3.5M for 3 year deal. He's a very good player that I can't use because of my prospects. Crawford 29 CF 6 3 6 5 2 8 B B C Crawford 29 CF Good Good Poor B B C I guarantee you won't be able to sign him in the FA market for 3.5M, so if you want to get him for 3.5M, then please offer up an MR or SP that doesn't cost a fortune. That's all I want, and in return you get Mr. Crawford. Anyone interested?
I'm thinking about trading CF Joe Tarpley. J. Tarpley 24 CF Good Fair Good A D A J. Tarpley 24 CF 5 4 4 2 6 6 A D A I've just got a bunch of OF, you see. He's also got an A arm and is good at avoiding Ks. What I'm looking for is either a good starting pitcher, a good young 2B prospect, or a good, relatively young but ready SS... you can offer me other positions, but try to stay away from OF, 3B, or C. Thanks.
Attention new Cincinnati GM Moestavern19 I must have the Stovers. C. Stover 23 2B Good Brilliant Good E D E L. Stover 24 CF Good Good Average C A C For the two Stovers I will give you: J. Arena 21 RF Good Brilliant Average B B A M. Villilo 27 3B Good Good Average E D C G. Sizemore 27 LF Good Fair Brilliant E C C K. Goodwin 24 C Avg Good Fair D E C T. Perez 24 CL Avg Good Average Good C Arena is just like Crazy Stover only younger, a little worse in walks, and much better in defense (A vs E), speed and steals. Villilo is just like Lefty Stover only 3 years older, more developed and a little slower. At only 27 years old, Miguel has been an All-Star twice already Sizemore is a talented lad playing his first major time this season, who should turn into a very nice leadoff hitter in a year or two. Goodwin is a nice catching prospect. Not as studly as some of the other guys, but a very good prospect nonetheless. Perez is a solid closing prospect. I'll even throw in a couple of other prospects still young enough to develop with talent increases J. Hunley 22 2B Average Fair Fair C B D Q. Flickinger 23 3B Average Fair Average D C B S. Villicana 26 SP Average Average Brilliant Good C I will also offer $10 million dollars in cash. Nobody else in the sim collects Stovers, so crazy offers like this won't come around too often Also if you have any bad contracts you want to dump (ie Ruben Rivera and possibly others) I could take them off your hands..
Enrique Wilson tasks me. He's erratic, and all over the place, he webbles, he wobbles, but he doesn't fall down. I wish to see him off my team. He's cheap, plays good defense, when his bat is on, he's prety good. I'd like to package him with either Tony Torcato, Earle Bradley or Mouse Baker for a better 2B. The quality of the 2B I want increases depending on which person you want along with Enrique. Also, Don't offer me 1) 2B older than Wilson, 2) 2B you've paid exorbibant amounts of money too, 3) 2B with poor OBP. I want none of that. That is all.
You know you need a 1B to replace Giambi... how about the Funk? Bruce is avg-good-good. I can also throw Wang into the mix, if you can afford him...
Catcher Terry Rodriguez is available for a leadoff man at SS or CF. Name Age Pos AVG 2B 3B HR BB K SP STA RANGE T. Rodriquez 27 C 3 5 2 5 6 6 E D B T. Rodriquez 27 C Fair Average Good E D B I could also include Top Hitting Prospects or cash, depending on how good the player is.
