I confirm this deal

[kaviksdad]

I'm almost done wheelin' and dealin' but got a couple of pieces left:

The following guys are available:

Adam Jones
Brian Roberts/Iwamura (either one, but not both)
John Lackey
John Lannan
Travis Hafner

These guys might be available:

Stephen Drew
Brandon Morrow

And these kids are available:

Carlos Carrasco
Lars Anderson (prospect)
Tim Beckham (prospect)
Michael Inoa (prospect)
Jordan Zimmerman (prospect)

I'm primarily looking for

1) upgrades at catcher, left field and relief pitching
2) prospects
3) free agent picks

but I'll listen to upgrades at all the other positions as well. I've got my favorites, and most of you know who they are since we're all in every league together :lol:

For those that haven't been paying attention to the main threads, seems we are getting not 1, 2009 player set, but 2, the second one being all inclusive.

This was posted in bernie's announcement thread:

[quote:b8a3c7d200="bernieh"]I've heard the (usual) opinions from people who would prefer that we leave the "fluke" cards like Randy Ruiz in the set. While we still need to remove them from the standard set, I'm considering offering an additional, alternate set that will include them, for the first time. Stay tuned for updates.

Thanks! HAVE FUN!

I asked him, in that thread when/if we could expect to see this other 2009 set and he responded that' he's working on it for this coming week.
For those that don't understand what this means, it means that several highly desirable cards left out of the current 2009 set (Avila, Ruiz ect.) would be available in the inclusive set, so it clearly changes the draft ansd that's why I'd like to get it decided ASAP.

So I believe we need to vote on which set you'd all like to use. I've been pretty vocal in my feelings on this issue, (If you don't know where I stand, again you haven't been paying attention) so I'm obstaining from the vote in order to reach a majority. Here's our options:

2009 Standard set 0 votes
2009 Inclusive set 0 votes


No votes of "I don't care" or "doesn't matter" or "whatever the majoity wants" please.

2009 Standard set 0 votes
2009 Inclusive set 2 votes (WATTS141,HAWK)

[cummings2]

Ideally I would say we play season 1 with the inclusive set and season 2 with the standard set, adding another layer of strategy to the league, however, in the absence of that option I would vote:

2009 Standard set 0 votes
2009 Inclusive set 3 votes (WATTS141,HAWK,C2)

[qksilver69]

I think TSN got the standard card set exactly right (for once!), so my vote is:

2009 Standard set 1 votes (QK)
2009 Inclusive set 3 votes (WATTS141,HAWK,C2)

2009 Standard set 2 votes (QK,cshannajr)
2009 Inclusive set 3 votes (WATTS141,HAWK,C2)
