2009 Markeptplace Discussion

[Snatch Catch]

I'm in the trading mood.

Lance Berkman and Grady Sizemore are on the table.

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

[THEBOSS84]

First place!

[MaximMan121]

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

[Big_E]

Trading contract.

Cash may NOT be traded.

[Snatch Catch]

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]

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

[Snatch Catch]

Negotiations are heating up...

[THEBOSS84]

Yes, they are.

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

[THEBOSS84]

A 6 player deal has gone down...

[Snatch Catch]

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]

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]

Robbie Cano!

[The FUTURE]

just curious, what was the trade ?

[THEBOSS84]

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

[Snatch Catch]

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]

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

[Snatch Catch]

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

[THEBOSS84]

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]

Buehrle and Adam Jones

for

C. Lee and Kemp

[THEBOSS84]

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

[Snatch Catch]

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

Mark Buehrle not solid?

I guess you don't watch "baseball."

[THEBOSS84]

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]

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]

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]

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

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

[THEBOSS84]

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

[ChrisRo]

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

[THEBOSS84]

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

[gdn]

SP available, looking for MI/CI/C

[ChrisRo]

Ryan Ludwick.

[gdn]

Ryan Ludwick.

What about him?

[THEBOSS84]

Ryan Ludwick.

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

[ChrisRo]

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]

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]

Robbie Cano!

Carlos Pena!

[THEBOSS84]

Carlos Pena!

Orlando Hudson!

[Snatch Catch]

Orlando Hudson!

You didn't drop him?

[THEBOSS84]

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

[THEBOSS84]

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

[Snatch Catch]

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

[gdn]

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

[Big_E]

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]

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

[ruthianblast]

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

[Snatch Catch]

I might be interested in Volquez.

[ruthianblast]

I might be interested in Volquez.

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

[Snatch Catch]

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

I retract my interest, in that case.

[ruthianblast]

I retract my interest, in that case.

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

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...

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?
