I'd still like Beltran on the DL and a Berkman/Tartabull platoon in right, please. Alomar should be at short all the time, and resume the MAthews/Williams platoon at third. My DH should be the other half of the RF platoon.

Expansion owners! Pudge the First is melting before my eyes. Can anyone spare a useful catcher?

Not an Expansion owner, but I have an 82 rated leftie catcher in Johnny Roseboro!

OK, DL Cobb, setup Rollie, and Holly; send down Michael Young and Chipper. RF should be a Berkman/Vladdy platoon, and Eric Davis comes up to platoon with Snider.

On the pitching side, Hershiser comes up to LR, Kerry Wood sets up, Hiller to SR, and Guzman to MR, since Bograt kicked him off the team.



Swap Newk and Niekro because I am loving insane, send down Rags and call up Kaat to MR.

I used to have Eddie Cicotte - what would it take to get him back - and there are a couple of other unused pitchers you have that I like.

I traded Cicotte for a center fielder already.

If you're interested in a couple of the pitchers on my feeders that aren't on my roster, I'd like Al Rosen, Joakim Soria, or old Mel Ott.

How about '08 Sergio Romo and '08 Pablo Sandoval for '36 Waite Hoyt?

Armitage posted:

Working on, well, something. We're still looking to move 2008 Johan Santana for a right handed #4 or #5, and 1995 Rafael Palmeiro for someone.
'95 Tim Wakefield is a righty and a two years older version had a measure of success in the Super League last season, at least more than Santana has. Would you do Santana for Wakefield? Or, more likely, Santana for Wakefield+?

Yeah, I'd be willing to take that, if you're still offering.

Revenant Threshold posted:

While I have SS and 2B, I don't really have them at depth, so all I could really offer you is Heinie Peitz. But he has an amusing name and position coverage, and is still probably an upgrade for you. In CF terms (or corner, whatever) I have a young Dusty Baker and George Hendrick avaliable. I do have better avaliable trade stuff, but I want Sergio Romo from you, and he's not really worth a vast amount more. I could probably offer you a SP/RP to take up his bench place along with the deal.

Don't really like any of those enough, so I'll just hold onto Romo.

Hitting Line-up, against both:

1. Rosen 3B

3. Gonzalez RF
4. Palmeiro DH
5. Doby CF

My pick already? Okay, err... I'll take Carlos Guillen. He can play third base along with shortstop, right? Ah, well, it's too late if he can't, I've committed.

E: Oh, and call Guillen up, and, I guess, send Vlad Guerrero down. If Guerrero's still in the field (don't remember), stick Walker in RF as well.

You don't need to (and probably shouldn't) repost your full roster, but noting where a player has been traded from is always handy. I'll be referencing this thread when everything's finished to slot all the teams in.

Viscount Slim posted:

Well, you don't really have any spare starting pitching that wouldn't make me vomit; would you like LaMarr Hoyt the year after he won the Cy Young Award? I'm sure your 'Cy' would be proud to meet him.

GrickleGrass is up in the draft, I believe.

No offence, but no thank you. Mogul looks down on small sample sizes as is, and the career stats make me twitchy... Early Wynn can provide SP cover if needed, but IF depth/bullpen could be improved... If you don't mind, old bean, what years are David Wells, Edgar Renteria and Ian Desmond? Obviously only one of them would go, a straight minor league for minor league swap.
