Okay. As everyone knows, I'm looking to take a pitcher with this pick. But if you want to trade me a pitcher that's as good or better than what I can get here, that'll work too!

And yes, I want 1 good pitcher, not 2 okay pitchers.

Want a '96 Vlad (Fetus Vlad), '96 Alou (in his prime), or '93 Chili Davis?

Also, condolences on your loss. Good on you for even attempting it, though!

Davis was a full-time DH by '93, but I'd be willing to take a flyer on Vlad and Alou, if the price is right. Who would you want for them?

It'd be Vlad OR Alou, since the remaining guy becomes Maris' platoon partner.

I need relief pitching. I also need a good 3b/SS type that can spell my glass menagerie of Al Rosen/Nomar Garciaparra.

In Vlad's case, any draft pick gets the job done. That only applies to one of you; I'll need to take a longer look through your roster.

Alou's in his prime and not a crapshoot; I'd likely have to be really impressed by an offer (which as I've proven, doesn't mean it has to be a good offer) to move him. I'd rather Alou/Maris than Vlad/Maris.

Interested in an Old Rickey Henderson or a 2011 Adam Jones? Or, would a '64 Willie Stargell be more what you're looking for? Not sure what I'd take for Stargell, but it'd be asking a little more, obviously. My needs are: 2B and relievers, really, but I'd take an extra starter for the first two and maybe could be persuaded to part with Stargell for the right price.

EDIT: Alternatively, I wouldn't mind a backup catcher better than Matt Wieters, now that I think of it.

I'm looking for a draft pick for 1935 Lefty Grove. He's 35 but he was an elite pitcher until he hit 40. He is healthy and will easily throw 200IP in SL. He is a groundball pitcher and will be best with good infield defense.

Yeaaahh, I was kind of hoping he was younger. It's not the worst thing in the world and I could get some use out of him, maybe.

Amazingly, I also got Brandon League in the same deal. I think you undervalued what he can do.

How about Biggio and, uh, *cough* Old Musial?

The Cultists retirement home and day care center for baseballists is happy to entertain discussions here, but if you want an aging 2B guy can I suggest Riggs Stephenson? I have a a 32 old version who I mostly use in left (he played 2B in cleveland, the cubs moved him to left), who has consistently OBP'ed above .330 in the SL. The Cancun tornadoes have a young version they use at 2B who hit .325/.383 last season.

Just he doesn't hit come runs ever. He's like the slap hittiest of slap hitters.

I'm not saying no to the Biggio deal, he's just very useful for me because he platoons with Old Man Hornsby, backups Hartnett at catcher when Piazza is DHing and hit for higher OBA with more home runs than Stargell did in about the same playing time. Let me get home and look at this carefully.

Third round plus a replacement pitcher? Assuming you're using the guy. If not, I do have a lot of outfielders.

I didn't undervalue poo poo; that witch I cut off in traffic a week ago cursed my SL team to be full of competent players that will play like poo poo for me and awesomely for anyone else. (Seriously, a third of the guys picked so far have been from my team! I should demand royalties for supplying the draft pool that hard!)

Alright, the Bombers are officially offering 1915 Shoeless Joe Jackson, who would definitely be the best outfielder left in the draft pool. He won't hit home runs, but he'll hit for a high average and get a lot of doubles and triples. I'm looking for one of the next five picks for him. Or any second rounder and other considerations. Preference given to a starting quality catcher.

If you need an outfielder, get him.

e: 2006 Ken Griffey Jr. is also available if you need a center fielder and are OK with old dudes, for something like a third rounder.

Reminder that I'm still looking to acquire bullpen help and draft picks, and I totally forgot that my roster includes 2 usable outfielders I'd like to trade

You already know about Baby Vlad (1996 Expos), but I also have Tim Salmon (1993 Angels) and Moises Alou (1996 Expos)

I'd prefer to keep Alou as Maris' platoon partner, but for the right deal I'd move him instead of Salmon.

Salmon has literally no platoon split in his career and would make a perfectly good RF for someone.

Vlad's a total crapshoot still, obviously.
