2041 Louisville Block

[sjshaw]

I feel a need... a need for speed, and trading. I have the next 2 weeks mostly off, so let's chat on Slack and work some deals.

My main goal is not to acquire salaried talent (although I will listen for the right guy); rather, I'm looking to time-shift my specs. I have my big league team set for the next several years, so take some of my older specs and bench contributors and give me the young ones.

Here are a selection of guys I'm open to dealing, but pretty much everyone else on my top specs list except Browning/Noguchi/Medrano/Mangrouthormone/Bourges/Feliciano/Mercati is available.

Everyone in SA and Rookie league is available.

Pitching

SP Pancho López: POT of 7/3/5 - Excellent pitch ratings, could be very useful at the back of a rotation for you guys needing SPs.

SP Alfredo Acosta: 5/5/6 RHSP with like 78 pitches.

RP Masaru Yokota - POT of 10/4/4 - Borderline SP should K enough to overcome the low-is other ratings.

RP Tomás Chávez: 6/6/6 RHRP who might do very well when given a chance.

RP Juan López: POT of 7/6/5 - Good STU dev for this sidearmer.

RP Kahsay Mudada: POT of 7/5/6 - Will be a nice bullpen piece.


Catcher

C Philitis Tsafento: Former 1st rounder is a bit superfluous with my young Cs. Open to dealing.

C Ben Scott: POT of 5/7/7/4/5 - He and Tsafento are the odd man out at C in LOU.

C Larry Ledezma: 6/6/6/5/7 vs LHP - perfect short-sider for somebody. 4 more years of team control.


Infield

INF Bob Frazier: 5/4/8/6/5 - CAPTAIN BOB has another year of arb control and can give you solid leadership and short-side production.

SS José Montaño: POT of 6/7/4/4/7 - Can be an impact guy with tremendous D at any INF position.

SS Ed Edmonds: POT of 5/6/4/4/6 - Put up 1.1 WAR for me last season as a part-time guy. Team control and amazing D all across the INF.

1B Alan Willis: POT of 7/7/1/3/9 - Solid 1B who is ready to contribute now.


Outfield

RF Donald Miller: POT of 7/9/8/7/5 - Should be an impact RF in the future, just not for me. One of the top specs in the game. Dominant minor league performances, at worst would be ready to go after a few months at AAA.

LF José Valera: 5/4/6/10/7 - Put up 3 WAR for me as a long-side platoon. You OBP fetishists get hard thinking about acquiring guys like this. Have one of your very own who has proven himself at the highest level! Very valuable commodity, 4 years of team control.

LF Pedro Gonzáles: POT of 6/7/6/6/6 - Defense ain't his thing, but he can wallop RHP. Dominant minor league stats, ready to step in for you right now.

LF Weth 'Huckleberry Jam' Silker, Jr.: 6/8/8/6/3 vs RHP... and he's a RHB! Rare reverse split guy can DH and back up OF in a pinch.

OF António López: 4/7/8/7/3 vs RHP - Another guy with the potential to hit for power and who plays above-average D.

OF Greg Schaefer: POT of 4/6/7/5/5 - Excellent cOF defense and can play on the long side of a platoon. Ready to go now.

CF Leonardo Campos: POT of 5/6/2/3/6 - Tremendous OF defense and speed.


DH

DH Rodrigo Guzmán: 5/5/6/6/5 - Fully developed and ready to slot in.

[shoeless.db]

But, but, but... Ron said not to trade with Louisville.

[sjshaw]

Ron says a lot of things to get what he wants. Or so I heard.

[sjshaw]

Ordered by position for ease of viewing.

DH

DH Rodrigo Guzmán: 5/5/6/6/5 - Fully developed and ready to slot in.

I wonder where this fella ranks on the BBA trade value list?

[sjshaw]

Right below French, right above Kwakou

In addition to Jose Valera, who put up 3 WAR and is minsal, I'm adding:

1B/3B Carlos Reyes, who put up 3.5 WAR and is also minsal.

Don't forget about RF Donald Miller, who is Kwakou Lite, and whose clock hasn't started.

I have 50m in budgeted profit, along with 40m in bonus funds that can't be traded after Opening Day.

Ready to deal this week.

[sjshaw]

If you need bonus funds, the Bank of Louisville is open....

[sjshaw]

C Ledezma is DFAed, get him for a song

[sjshaw]

Willing to move anybody in the top post for help at the deadline. Don't need LHB OF, but can always use quality RP and infield bats. Also need SP, shockingly, thanks to injuries.

Best to catch me on Slack, but PM is fine too.
