24 Let's Play Two League - Chat

I will consider trading Josh Donaldson but will need to be a 1 for 1 swap for a player of equal value, preferably SP, C, or 2B.

The following players will be cut unless someone wants to trade a pick for them:

Sandy Leon (turned back into a pumpkin)
Blake Swihart (apparently much overhyped)
C.J. Cron
Danny Espinosa
Taylor Motter
Jurickson Profar (now that I am giving up on him he will undoubtedly break out)
Travis Jankowski
Jake Smolinski
Jeremy Hellickson
Kelvin Herrera
Taylor Rogers

For those needing an OF, I will consider dealing either Conforto or Benintendi. Conforto is a masher, while Benintendi is a more well rounded player. Both are young. Looking for pitching, 1B or 3B of the future.

All players on my team are available but the cost to acquire some of them is likely prohibitive. Some of the more attainable players are:

Wellington Castillo - he's a keeper, would need a keeper back
Hanley Ramirez - only 1 year removed from 30 HRs 100 RBI
Rougned Odor - turns 24 in February and has hit 33 and 30 bombs the last 2 years
Neil Walker - .801 ops last year
Nick Franklin -
Tim Beckham - would move but need a nice piece back, .782 ops
Alex Dickerson - , no card
Michael Conforto - see above
Andrew Benintendi - see above
Enrique Hernandez - rakes vs LHP
John Lackey - could do worse, will only cost a pick
Bartolo Colon -
Jose Fernandez - RIP
Francisco Liriano - could have value vs. lefties, full disclosure: i have not checked his splits
Boone Logan - very likely no card
Edwin Diaz - would give up this young closer for an older, better closer
Kyle Barraclough - solid setup guy, on the roster bubble
Matt Bush - could make Rangers rotation
Joseph Biagini - had flashes of goodness

Let me know if interested.

Thanks,
TVF

I, too, am open for business. Will listen to any and all offers, but the following players in particular are available and may be of some interest:

Tim Anderson - Top SS prospect, still just 24 w/ lots of potential
Cam Bedrosian - Has a closer job, strikes lots of people out, and is 26 years old
Johnny Cueto - He needs no introduction (though he does need to rebound)
Cory Gearrin - Reliever with a sub-2 ERA!
Brandon Guyer - Lefty-masher/HBP master coming off a down year
Tommy Joseph - 1B/DH with some pop in his bat
Reynaldo Lopez - Top pitching prospect who got his feet wet last year
Brad Miller - Hit 30 homers two years ago
Jose Peraza - Good 2B defense/speed/versatility, w/ more upside moving forward
Hector Rondon - Former top closer, still a decent reliever w/ good underlying skills
Ryan Schimpf - If the object of the game was only to go deep, he'd be really good!

Looking primarily for (1) picks, (2) a CF, and (3) a LH bat.

If cut day were today, here are a few names that I may have to cut that I think could be keepers on other rosters...If any appeal to you let me know.

I am looking to improve in CF or LF and at Closer, or for improvements in the drafts.

CF - Keon Broxton - 2e10 defense, speed and some pop
CF - Denard Span - pretty much limited to DH vs RHP, but solid in that regard with a +8 clutch
C - Roberto Perez - Look at that defense! 1(-4)e4, and 8 BPHR units vs lefties.
SS - Troy Tulowitzki - he served his purpose for me last year in helping bring home an unexpected title. Anyone think he has a rebound in him?
1B/3B - David Freese - A solid everyday player vs LHP, +5 clutch
P - Bud Norris - in this game, definitely relegated to reverse specialist vs LHB
RF - Scott Schebler - Powerful LH bat that is playable vs LHP...I only have room for him to play in CF, and that 4 on CF defense just ain't going to fly there, so I have to try to find a trade partner.

I could consider some kind of package with OF - Domingo Santana if it will address my need at LF/CF or Closer or bring in an SP that will lend some respectability to my underwhelming rotation of J Nelson, J Chacin, A Meyer, M Leake and J Garcia.

Justin Verlander is available for those looking for top of rotation SP. I will need highly ranked prospect(s) as part of the deal.

These usable guys are also available (asking price will be very reasonable) or could be included in package with Verlander.

Francisco Cervelli - solid catcher with .342 OBP and .712 OPS
Robbie Grossman - .361 OPB
Nate Karns - SP with a 1.19 WHIP if carded (made 8 starts)
David Hernadez - RP with a 1.04 WHIP and 3.11 ERA
Ryan Butcher - RP with a 1.07 WHIP and 2.94 ERA
Albert Pujols - still some pop left with 23 HRs
Victor Martinez - strong veteran presence in the clubhouse

Looking at my roster, we are in a complete rebuild.

I am looking to deal anyone I have worth anything for prospects, picks and youth.

Jake Arrieta
Gio Gonzalez
Eric Hosmer
Jay Bruce

Open to create some space on my roster while finding some needed parts.

1. Daniel Murphy- Buster Olney ranked him 4th on his top 10 second baseman’s list. He led the NL in doubles and batted .322 with a .384 OBP.
2. Anthony Rendon- Murphy was 4th for Buster but for top 10 third baseman’s Rendon was 3rd. He has the best year of his career last year with 10 RBI’s, a .301 AVG, a .403 OBP, and he also had 84 walks and 82 strikeouts. Rendon is 27 and is in the prime of his career.

I am looking for: A top prospect, or a young pitcher in the league with potential, or a star starting pitcher, or a star outfielder, I will also need some good bullpen, and picks.
