I'm in the trading mood.

Lance Berkman and Grady Sizemore are on the table.

Let me know if you've got interest...

First place!

Now, if we make trades, we're trading the contracts, right? Or can you demand cash be sent with players?:-sorry-: :-n00b-:

Trading contract.

Cash may NOT be traded.

Snatch Catch

04-08-09, 07:54 AM

Trading contract.

Cash may NOT be traded.

More importantly, it wouldn't matter if cash were traded anyway.

You can be over the $260 cap in season.

Sizemore and Berkman still available. Have had some preliminary discussion, but nothing substantial yet...

MaximMan121

04-08-09, 08:16 AM

In that case I'm interested in Sizemore, but not Berkman. Email me at mollerw@gmail.com--I get it on the mobile.

Negotiations are heating up...

THEBOSS84

04-08-09, 11:14 AM

Yes, they are.

I'm out by 3pm today - let's make things happen.

THEBOSS84

04-08-09, 01:19 PM

A 6 player deal has gone down...

Snatch Catch

04-08-09, 01:46 PM

For the first time in a very long time I didn't get the best player in a trade I made. I feel like I need a shower.

THEBOSS84

04-08-09, 01:49 PM

I'm glad we were able to work something out. I like my lineup. Now it's time to work on some pitching.

Snatch Catch

04-09-09, 03:45 PM

Robbie Cano!

The FUTURE

04-10-09, 05:05 PM

just curious, what was the trade ?

THEBOSS84

04-10-09, 06:42 PM

I traded Cano, Carlos Pena and John Danks to Snatch for Berkman, O-dog and Annibal Sanchez.

Snatch Catch

04-10-09, 09:36 PM

I traded Cano ($9, keepable), Carlos Pena ($5, keepable) and John Danks ($2, keepable) to Snatch for Berkman ($38, keepable), O-dog ($1, not keepable), and Annibal Sanchez ($1, keepable).

Added dollar values.

ruthianblast

04-10-09, 10:29 PM

David Ortiz & Vladdy are on the block. Would really prefer a pitcher to come back in a deal.

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 11:11 AM

Carlos Beltran is in play, not looking for OF in return.

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 11:13 AM

I am looking for a solid starting pitcher. Every one of my players is there for the taking with the exception of Jose Reyes.

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 11:16 AM

Buehrle and Adam Jones

for

C. Lee and Kemp

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 11:27 AM

I guess you didn't see the word "solid".

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 11:30 AM

I guess you didn't see the word "solid".

Mark Buehrle not solid?

I guess you don't watch "baseball."

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 11:33 AM

Mark Buehrle not solid?

I guess you don't watch "baseball."

I guess you didn't notice that there's a difference between being a solid "baseball" pitcher and being a solid "fantasy" pitcher.

That would help explain your end of season position in last year's standings.

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 11:43 AM

I guess you didn't notice that there's a difference between being a solid "baseball" pitcher and being a solid "fantasy" pitcher.

That would help explain your end of season position in last year's standings.

A guy who averages 200+ IP, 15 wins, an ERA around 3.75 and a WHIP around 1.25 isn't solid?

Kind of mouthy for someone who is so...wrong. Buehrle is the very definition of a "solid fantasy pitcher."

Maybe you should have said what you really meant in the beginning instead of what you wanted people to think you were saying.

Seymour wants a stud, keeper SP in a trade.

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 11:47 AM

I guess we have different definitions of solid. What's wrong, had to leave the K's out of his stat line?

Seymour wants a pitcher with #1 starter upside who does not necessarily have to be keepable.

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 11:49 AM

I guess we have different definitions of solid. What's wrong, had to leave the K's out of his stat line?

:lol: :roflmao: :lol:

Like I said, Seymour wants a stud, keeper SP.

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 11:51 AM

Yes, I'll take a stud. Doesn't need to be keepable.

ChrisRo

04-13-09, 03:47 PM

How about Webb? He should miss only one more start. I'm looking for an outfielder.

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 03:50 PM

Which one of my OF's would you like for your damaged goods?

gdn

04-13-09, 03:59 PM

SP available, looking for MI/CI/C

ChrisRo

04-13-09, 04:00 PM

Ryan Ludwick.

gdn

04-13-09, 04:05 PM

Ryan Ludwick.What about him?

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 04:59 PM

Ryan Ludwick.

Offer it up - I'm in so long as the mri checks out.

ChrisRo

04-13-09, 06:22 PM

I don't wanna drop an OF after this trade, so how about Church or Nady, would you want any of them in exchange for, say, Volstad?

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 06:42 PM

Chris, I've got the full OF selection for you to peruse. Beltran, Adam Jones, S. Choo, and Travis Snider all on the block for varying prices, even Sizemore, depending on what you're wanting to give up.

Let me know, I'm in a dealing kind of mood.

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 08:00 PM

Robbie Cano!

Carlos Pena!

THEBOSS84

04-13-09, 08:02 PM

Carlos Pena!

Orlando Hudson!

Snatch Catch

04-13-09, 08:50 PM

Orlando Hudson!

You didn't drop him?

THEBOSS84

04-14-09, 01:28 AM

Nope, I allowed him to hit a cycle for me tonight.

THEBOSS84

04-14-09, 11:01 AM

I am in a very tradey mood. Hit me up boyyyyz.

Snatch Catch

04-15-09, 02:41 PM

Who has a solid closer that they're willing to move?

gdn

04-16-09, 07:00 AM

what the hell is a 1 for 0 trade? How did the Knights trade Bowden to someone for nothing?

Big_E

04-16-09, 07:23 AM

what the hell is a 1 for 0 trade? How did the Knights trade Bowden to someone for nothing?

When I add mL players to rosters I have to use the add/drop feature. But the default team is me. I have to remember to select the correct team to add the player to.

I accidentally added a mL player (Bowden) to my team instead of Bitches Brew.

Instead of dropping him from mine, and adding him to the correct team, I used my commissioner powers to execute a 1 for 0 trade.

gdn

04-16-09, 07:28 AM

Ah okay. :lol: I thought I was imagining things. Either that or we saw the arrival of the feared PTBNL.

ruthianblast

04-17-09, 10:52 AM

Ortiz - Keepable; Volquez - 2yr contract; Dempster - Keepable on the block; looking for a OF.

Snatch Catch

04-17-09, 10:56 AM

I might be interested in Volquez.

ruthianblast

04-17-09, 12:32 PM

I might be interested in Volquez.

You know who I'm interested in form previous offers.

Snatch Catch

04-17-09, 01:52 PM

You know who I'm interested in form previous offers.

I retract my interest, in that case. :lol:

ruthianblast

04-17-09, 02:07 PM

I retract my interest, in that case.

And just what else would you want to trade? Ian Stewart for Volquez? :lol:

I mean when it comes to your team:

Haren, Kershaw, then your OF is really all I have interest in.

Obviously Hanley, Teixeira, Wright would be great to have, but I'm guessing their price tags are much more than I'm willing to pay.

I actually want to improve MY team, not necessarily yours...:P

You asked for Beltran last time!

Also, to give you a measuring stick, I'd rather have Kershaw than Volquez, even considering contracts.

Well as a start; never heard of a counter offer?

I figured Beltran was a better choice to try and pick up than Jay Bruce @ 14 over 2 yrs, no?

Correct, yes.

I'll take a look at your roster.

Oh, and mark it down now: Ian Stewart is a keeper next year. Especially when he becomes 2B eligible.

Snatch Catch

04-21-09, 11:06 AM

Let's make a deal, someone, anyone.

I'm in the trading mood!

Snatch Catch

04-21-09, 11:16 PM

Any interest in Kershaw?

Snatch Catch

04-28-09, 09:06 AM

I really, really, really want to make a deal.

THEBOSS84

04-28-09, 09:11 AM

Any interest in Kershaw?
Don't like 8 era's...

Snatch Catch

04-28-09, 09:45 AM

Don't like 8 era's...

Lets not reply to an older post pretending like it was just written, Seymour.

Beltran and Verlander are on the table, everyone. Both are keeper-eligible.

THEBOSS84

04-28-09, 09:46 AM

I'll consider buying high on Verlander.

Snatch Catch

04-28-09, 12:27 PM

Beltran may be on the move...

MaximMan121

04-29-09, 08:11 AM

Fielding offers for Felix Hernandez.

Snatch Catch

04-29-09, 08:24 AM

What are you looking for in return?

MaximMan121

04-29-09, 08:34 AM

What are you looking for in return?

I'm scared of dealing with you. From what I can tell, you're good at this. ;)

But really, looking for a top level outfielder.

Snatch Catch

04-29-09, 09:12 AM

I've got a couple of lines out on Beltran, but I'm definitely willing to put him in play.

For all the deals I make, I don't win anything, so I can't be any good at it, really.

THEBOSS84

04-29-09, 09:14 AM

Will, he sucks - don't worry.

Snatch Catch

04-29-09, 10:39 AM

There are currently greater than even odds that Carlos Beltran is no longer a member of the Style by 7pm tonight...but the question is which team is he going to?

DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNNNN!

THEBOSS84

04-29-09, 10:44 AM

I need starting pitching.

MaximMan121

04-29-09, 11:04 AM

I need starting pitching.

So talk to me about Felix!

Snatch Catch

05-07-09, 09:22 AM

I need to make a fantasy trade to get my mind of the reality assh*les.

Let's make a deal.

ruthianblast

05-07-09, 10:56 AM

The Russell Peters Experiment may be looking for a OF sometime soon...

gdn

05-07-09, 02:26 PM

yeah, like about now.

Snatch Catch

05-18-09, 08:42 AM

Looking to package Cano or Tulo and one of Buerhle, Danks, or Kershaw for a good-to-stud OF (depending on the package).

ruthianblast

05-18-09, 12:15 PM

Looking for a CI; willing to deal pretty much anyone not named Beltran/Hamilton...

ChrisRo

05-20-09, 12:38 AM

I'm planning to trade Travis Snider for another hitter who can give me production right now. Anyone interested?

ChrisRo

06-02-09, 05:04 PM

yanksphan

06-02-09, 06:53 PM

I'm in the mood for some deals. Preferrably looking for power hitters, good obp guys, and/or a top closer. Except for Greinke, CC, Zimmermann, Pena and Torii, everyone is up for grabs, if the right offer comes along :)

So you're willing to trade your crap for other people's studs?

Hey me too! :P

*cough*Nathan/MiguelCabrerainterstyou?*cough*

gdn

06-02-09, 09:29 PM

Same here. Almost anyone can go except Floyd and Jurjjens.

ChrisRo

06-03-09, 02:47 AM

Pretty much, yeah.
You interested in my crap? :P

yanksphan

06-14-09, 06:41 PM

Chris Ianetta, Miguel Cabrera, Jimmy Rollins, Chris Davis, James Loney, Brad Hawpe, Derek Lowe all on the block.

Will consider some of my keepers (Upton, Hamels, Nathan, Beckett) for the right deal.

ChrisRo

06-17-09, 08:41 AM

Anybody want Volstad?
Thought so.

ruthianblast

06-17-09, 12:38 PM

Yeah, not so much.

Anybody want Frankie Rodriguez/Mike Gonzalez/Kevin Gregg?

ChrisRo

06-18-09, 02:52 AM

Yeah, not so much.

Anybody want Frankie Rodriguez/Mike Gonzalez/Kevin Gregg?

What's the price for K-Rod to come home?

yanksphan

06-18-09, 04:43 AM

Probably more expensive than Nathan...

ruthianblast

06-18-09, 08:13 PM

What's the price for K-Rod to come home?

hmm; that's a toughie. I'll take a look.

ruthianblast

07-22-09, 01:57 PM

F Rod and B Phillips on the Block. Looking to get Keepers or Minors in return.

My entire team is on the block.

ChrisRo

07-27-09, 08:15 AM

My entire team is on the block.

What do you want for McCann?

ChrisRo

07-27-09, 09:12 AM

Limited time offer (until lineups lock tonight): Bartlett and/or Scutaro for a decent/good catcher. They're both in the first year (10$). I don't care about the catcher's contract.
