Here are my early trade ideas. I will do my best to offer trades that are fair and benefit both parties. I am interested in trading Frank Tomas for a similar level DH player with a little more average, and a little less power. I am interested in trading Endy Chavez for a similar level outfielder who is stronger against righties. I am interested in trading Loduca or possibly Kendall for a catcher who is strong against righties. I ma interested in trading Eric Chavez for a 3rd baseman who kills lefties. I am basically happy with my starters but I would trade Arroyo or Haren for a slightly better starter who is not a 3 day rest guy. I would also be interested in trading Haren, Arroyo, or Harden for a similar level pitcher who's a lefty. I want pitchers who are good in pitcher's park, I am using Shea (this means low number of hits, BPHR's are OK). I am interested in trading Street, Sanchez or Heilman for a RH reliever of similar value who is strong against lefties. I might be interested in trading Wagner for a righty closer who is bit stronger than he.
Other players who are available: Glavine, O. Hernandez, Bradford, maybe Oliver, Marrero, Franco, Tucker, Zito, Kennedy. Either Scutaro or Valentin. Kotsay, and maybe Bradley or Kielty, plus the players mentioned above.
What I want is a strong reverse righty reliever. A catcher who hits righties, a corner OF who hits righties well, a 3b who slams lefties, and I'll always take an upgrade anywhere.
Nobody is out of bounds for a REASONABLE offer, but it would take a LOT to get Beltran, Martinez or Maine.
