HCKL Chat/Trades

Nice progress today, considering we haven't even officially started yet. Too many guys I wanted gone already though.

Gennett
Salazar
Siegrist
Johnson

I have some pieces I could move. My needs: a closer, premium bully arm(s), sp, C v right, LF v right.

I could potentially move the following guys to get this done.

Hill, A
Bautista, J
Butler, B
Escobar, A
Hosmer, E

Cowart Kaleb 3B ANA 2015
Sanchez Aaron SP TOR 2015
Hawkins Courtney OF CWS 2015
Gray Jonathan RHP COL 2015
Cecchini Garin IF BOS 2015

I can also include FA and rookie picks.

Niners, I hear you, was hoping 1 or 2 of those guys would fall...

Looking to acquire some additional picks in the upcoming rounds.

Have the following that I would offer if there is interest:

Reyes
Jackson
Crawford
Prado
Pujols
Middlebrooks
Sabathia

FA picks in rounds 5-8
Prospect picks
Any supplemental picks

Let me know if there is anything above of interest for Rd. 2 picks or Bullpen help

Hi everyone,

After Smitty picks the clock will on on - reminder 2 hour clock from 10am EST to midnite. I am available for proxies as needed. I have some from Palmtana, so Cubit will be up after Smitty picks. Let's hope we make some good progress today!

I had Palmtana's proxies too, hopefully Cubey is around, though it might be best to e-mail him if past performance is any indicator

Well, my realistic draft list was down to one! So I guess Rasmus it is. I really thought Thornburg would make it to me. Damn you Hawk!

If anyone has an interest in Brett Gardner for CF, let me know. I will not give him away however. I would also listen to offers on Granderson, Loney, Garza, and Griffin. I would be most interested in SPs, but would also consider draft picks and/or prospects.

My L/U looks something like this:

C - Rosario/Avila
1b - Moss/Loney
2b - Kendrick
SS - Aybar
3b - Alvarez/ Draft pick platoon mate
LF - Trout
CF - Rasmus
RF - Myers
DH - Beltran

I think it's OK and will score some runs.

My pen has Kimbrel, Chapman, and Avilan (and Romo). I will add a piece or two and it will be a strength.

However, and this is where I think QK's analysis is spot on, my rotation is WEAK!
I have G. Cole, E. Santana, CJ Wilson, AJ Griffin, & Garza. They will get lit up by lefties in my park and my pen will get lots of work. I was hoping one of those SPs available would fall to me, but c'est la vie. So, if you have someone who can get lefties out, and keep the ball in the yard, who may not work for you, let's talk.

Smitty will send you an email, we can talk Shields who fits your profile.

And yes, with Rasmus in there it will help score runs but still a few weak spots elsewhere. Avila, Aybar & Kendrick don't have great offense.

And thanks Niners for posting the proxy for Palm, I was on a conf call & have 2 more later today so will be on but not monitoring full time. Also, it seems the site clock is off by an hour? It says 12:56 pm for that proxy but shouldn't it have been 11:56?

Anyway Ted has 2 hrs from that post, I have emailed him.

That's under your control, click on the control panel and readjust your clock. I had to do the same thing.

Thx 4 the tip, that's better.
