Portland Block 2057

[7teen]

First off, anyone on our active roster is pretty much available so make an offer if you see someone. But let me just focus on guys that may actually add something for your team if interested.

1. SP Cheslav Evgrafov - He's 7-4 with a 3.56 and 2.4 WAR heading into July. He's making just over $4 million this season and will be a free agent. Could be a perfect fit for any team looking to add a #4 or #5 starter for the 2nd half post-season run.

2. RP Patrick Rosales - We've used him in a stoppers role all season as he's one of our two best relievers. He's on pace for over 130 innings as a reliever. He's never reached 100 innings in a season but has been over 90 a couple of times. Makes just $1.4 million this year and is refusing to talk extension with us so I can't give you any info on his demands. Would make a good addition to someone's pen for a cheap salary who's looking to bulk up their bullpen for a playoff run.

3. C Adalgiso Bosendorfer - Cooled off a little in June but still batting .294/.359/.377 with above average ability behind the dish. He's willing to extend with us but with prospect Allan Uecker on the verge of likely being a September call-up and possible starter next season, we don't see the need in investing in Bosendorfer. Could be an upgrade for a team in need of a catcher. Only makes $1.5 million.

Those 3 may be the pieces a competing team may want to try and add. I'd be looking for any 50 rated prospect for any of the 3. Preferarbly not a 1B prospect but any other position would be ok.

We have a ton of OFs that are having good years but figure those are pretty much a dime a dozen. Hurtado is a potential FA who is a fine OBP guy if you need help atop the order. We expect Bustamante to opt-out after this season but would be an ok platoon DH guy but high priced. Wilson Alomar is having a good year as well but anyone could have signed him after the season started and didn't so don't figure he'll draw any interest. Perhaps Pedro Rosales is a guy you'd want to play CF, but are you willing to pay the salary? Maybe you are for a guy on pace for 3.5 WAR in CF.
