NY_Yankees Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Just some roster shuffling: Is Upton/Hudson/scab to much for Sizemore/scab? I wanted another lefty bat in the lineup with good contact and defense. My first choice was Melk Man. But to get him, I'd have to give up essentially what can give me Grady. I still want Melky some how. Melky / Sizemore/ Quentin looks nice. Melky may not have corner # power, but he's a favorite. I traded a AAA pitcher, not Nippert or Owings for Homer Bailey. I felt dirty after the trade. I'm wondering if I should void the trade. No top prospect should be available that easily. Then again, who cares about fair. It's a game. Anyone know of any sleeper RPs that can fit the closers role? I like the idea of a scab turned steal. A little different than the Bailey trade. He projects high. More along the lines of a pleasant surprise, like when the Yanks got Bruney, or when Karstens came up. Under the radar type guys. Basically I'm trying to add young stars, while phasing out over paid guys. Randy, Livan, some of the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Try for Karstens. Maybe Ian Snell or Zach Duke too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I think your trying to trade your whole team! Just kidding - it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 You should also look for a closer like Zumaya and then deal for a catcher, the D-Backs don't have much unless it's a platoon you would like to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Yankees Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Haha not the whole team. I usually try to add 1 impact position player to give a team some umph. Someone cheap, with good potential that can easily be the star. Then I try to weed out the crappy pitchers, or over paid guys. I might try to rework a package for Sizemore, while keeping Hudson. D-Backs need some offense until Drew, Jackson, etc find their grooves in my season. I'm gonna go fiddle around some more... See what I can come up with.

NY_Yankees Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Traded: (SP) Edgar Gonzalez, (CF) Rich Thompson, and (CF) Dave Krynzel to the Yankees for (SP) Jeff Karstens, (CF) Melky Cabrera, and (1B) Juan Miranda. Signed random FA: (None of these guys were edited) © Craig Geary, 16 years old. 5 star prospect. 3y/$300k - Outstanding fielding stats all 85+. Low batting power in the 50s, even lower contact in the 30s. Good on the paths and good discipline, but slow speed and poor durability. (CF) Corey Ramirez, 16 years old. 5 star prospect. 3/$900k - Already has superstar/MVP like fielding stats, aside from 65 range. Batting stats he's got high power numbers in the 60s and 70s, but from each respective side (cant remember them) he's got contact equal to half. Should I go ahead with the Homer Bailey trade?

Greg Aquino or Justin Speier have filled the closer's spot for me quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Yankees Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just traded Scott Hairston and Bill Murphy for Zumaya and Durbin. They would only accept a 2-2 trade. The best I could do. Zumaya is now the closer. I also send Brandon Lyon to Boston for JC Romero. He was the only LHP I could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom2662 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Good. For me, Zumaya is a beast. He saved around almost 60 for me one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead. Bailey is a top notch prospect, though I would put Hughes above him in my eyes, it's still a steal of a deal. I love signing those FA's that are generated by the game...but I normally make them a more reasonable age, sometimes there's a 17 year old in the majors and doing very well...

NY_Yankees Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 I tried for Hughes, and they wouldn't take. I think it's because Bailey has a 900k contract, and the guy I offer has a 100k. The computer is stupid like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Unless its unfair trades, they dont accept trades in which the players youre offering make more than the ones they offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
