Obviously still a work in progress. But if David Murphy, Dayan Viciedo, Franklin Gutierrez, or Casey Fien interest you, the first 2 will be pretty cheap.

Fien had a 1.02 WHIP but 9 HR in 62 innings. Vs RHB - .213/.243/.301 Vs LHB - .242/,289/.462 - I'll trade him but he won't be real cheap since his WHIP is so low.

Gutierrez mashed RHP - .267/.290/.556 - would like to package him with Deduno for a better SP.

Also good news for me - Jackie Bradley Jr. gets an additional player card and Xander Bogaerts gets a regular card, bad though Jackie may be.

I'm in for next season and going forward. Will post my keepers at a later date.

By the way, if we need someone to fill a slot, I know someone who expressed interest.

Happy holidays to all.

I have revised a few things after looking closer. Pulling back some of my drops and looking for some trading partners.

I need to make some trades. If anyone has any interest in Angel Pagan, John Danks, Paul Konerko, Gaby Sanchez or Santiago Casilla, please send an offer along. Will take mid-to low FA picks for any of them or a 2nd round prospect pick. Wandy Rodriguez can be had as well for a 1st round prospect pick or a high to mid FA pick.

Turtle - sent you a pm.
