Behnke is 40, Disliked, hitting .212, and was on the WW most of the season. His best days are behind him. I need an adequate backup catcher...I hope Avila fills that need for a season (or maybe two)

New Orleans sends
SP Ryan Kirktoun, AAA
C Mike Metzger, A

To Carolina for
C Rafael Avila, ML

Sim instrutions: Waive & DFA Behnke. Place Avila in Behnke's spot.

OKay...ill claim him...

New Orleans Sends
OF Kyle Stanley, AAA

To Las Vegas for
2B Raul Huerta, ML

Not much of a trade, but I need an IF, and would probably lose Stanley in Rule 5 anyway.

Can recently signed international FAs be traded? Not trying to put a damper on this...but I would think they would fall into the same category as either draftees and/or free agents.

Hey, before you settle...take a look at the MRs on New Orleans and on out AAA staff. Maybe we can work something out.

Wow. This guy is ON FIRE. 17HRs in just 40 games, including 6 games in a row....Wow.

Were you here when Jesse Wright was a monster in Madison? If I remember correctly he was 10/7/7. I could be wrong on that. No, I wasn't around for that, but here are some current comparables: Paul O'Scullan (RHP - 10/7/7) - 488.2 IP, 5.3 ERA career, 107 IP, 5.05 ERA this year Donald Bergeron (RHP -...

Oops. Corrected.

New Orleans has a lot of young talent. Steven Welch was called up from Havana to replace OF John Brown who was traded to Chicago. New Orleans knew Browns bat would be difficult to replace, but with OF like Steven Welch waiting for a shot, they knew they could take the risk. Welch has only played in ...

Bartolo Melendez was originally drafted by the Hawai'i Tropics in the 13th round of the 2007 draft. He was barely even noticed by the Front office in Paradise, and was released just 10 days later. He bounced around the EBA, spending time with Brussels and Munchen. After getting released by both EBA...

Noooo! Say its not so!

I still dont get it. So lets put a scneario out there. If I spend $1,000,000 on Fernando Torres (random 2 star guy)...and he signs with me...I am clear. There are no penalties. I can spend $1M again next year. If I spend $1.2M on Fernando Torres, this is 20% over the 1M Cap. So next year, I will be ...

How do you guys develop another position? Is it enough to change his position designator from 3B to SS, even if he plays 3B in games. Or do you go into your lineups and change his actual playing position to 3B?

Last year I thought New Orleans and Marqutte would battle it out. Marquette ran away with it and New Orleans was awful.

This year I thought New Orleans and Marqutte would battle it out. New Orleans is running away with it and Marquette is awful.

Strange.

Great. Great. Player. I regret that trade 1,000 times over.

I did get 3 long-term starters out of the deal...but still.

Someone better claim him on the WW or he wont be able to feed his family anymore!
