Among other things, I have a 1983 Cal Ripken, a 1983 Lou Whittaker and a 2013 David Wright all on the block! That's a starting IF right there.

Hey EC Class! I would like a nice pick for some or all of them!

Hey Sub-Par league! I would like an Ace SP or a Ruth!

Someone please PM me an offer or catch me on Twitter or IRC or something :)

what kinda player / draft picks would it cost to get a couple of the relievers you didn't roster?

Make me an offer and we'll figure it out. Obviously, someone like Betances is worth more than a 26th man OF type.

Hi I'd like some RPs. Would an OF like Larry Walker help your team? I also have pick 63 in the draft which I was going to use on and RP anyway that I can offer. Outside of RPs I'm also interested in SP Aaron Sanchez from the AL All Star team!

I know people are jumping on this since everyone has OFs and needs relievers, but would an aging-but-still-quite-solid Willie Mays interest you?

Guys I have on the block! Ages in parenthesis! Looking for draft picks, a defensive outfielder who can hit, an elite defensive 3B or SS.

C (25) Victor Martinez - Switch hitting catcher, can also play first. Has hit pretty well for me but I already have a switch hitting catcher
1B/LF (29) Hank Greenberg - Right handed power bat
1B/LF (24) Willie McCovey - Left handed power bat!
2B (28) Napoleon Lajoie - Prime right handed 2B action
3B (28) Edgar Martinez - Can more competently stand at 3B than players who are "technically" 3B, elite right handed bat!
LF (26) Goose Goslin - big time contact! This dude can hit anywhere and walks pretty well. Warning he is an absolute butcher in the field but he can really rake
LF/1B (31) Carl Yastrzemski - Recently traded for a Hank Aaron AND more. Mine will cost much less despite being essentially the same thing
OF (31) Heinie Manush - speedy left handed contact hitting outfielder, can competently play all three positions, decent arm and defense
RF/OF (30) Ellis Burks - right handed more modern guy, hits for a little power and average, surprisingly all right in RF and can play CF
RF (28) Larry Walker - he's Canadian! Wow! Largely retains his power, strong arm. Good power corner outfield bat for a modern guy
RP (30) Steve Reed - okay modern reliever that absolutely cannot play in my park. Strikes some guys out
RP (27) Curt Leskanic - see Steve Reed

Not every single one of these guys is going to stay on the block, but I also don't exactly need six starting caliber outfielders. Edgar and Goose Goslin are mutually exclusive barring some special circumstance, I would really prefer to DH both of them and can't for obvious reasons. Note that Goose Goslin being from the 20s and having really outstanding contact means he's pretty much platoon immune. Also I would theoretically be open to moving any of my non Joss/Mathewson deadball guys as I don't exactly need seven or eight starters, but I can also just live with them in the bullpen so I'm not selling low on any of them.

He can do CF okay. But even with a deadball rotation he's death in either corner.

Either of you let me know if you're interested.

Any interest in my first rounder? Would like any two relievers of my choice (one will be betances, the other will not be.)

E: it would be either Jansen or Kimbrel; your choice.
E2: no idea if he's for sale in theory but I'd love that Kershaw. Would offer my first and second round picks for him plus the Romo you didn't roster.
