[USML Announce] Lets Make A Deal

[jhwinick at aol.com]

Brad Lee,

The list is real and I refer you to our constitution so that you can refresh your understanding of our rules.  9+3, my friend.

You are correct that Lars Anderson and Mike Moustakos WERE on your team.  The same is true of Adam Lind, Rick Porcello and the unfairly disparaged Alex Gordon.  Apparently, you're not terribly interested in having any of them return to your team.  So be it.  Lets find out if anyone else is interested. 

But thanks for the support.  Its nice to know you've always got my back.

Jeff, your "intended keepers" list exceeds allowable limits and, in any event, reeks of hucksterism and shenanigans. No way do you keep A-Rod at 32 now that Kate Hudson's gone and Beckham at that price and that position is a non-keeper. I can' t wait to see how many guys you have to trade for someone to take on Gordon.  And I thought Lars Anderson and Moutsakas were on my team.  Please, do your homework before you ask me to devote my time and energy to such nonsense as fantasy baseball.

Full disclosure....
 
Here are my intended keepers:
 
Matt Wieters             $5        Y1
Alex Rodriguez         $32       Y1
Alex Gordon             $7        LT10
Gordon Beckham     $15        Y1
Adam Lind               $4          Y2
Travis Snider            $5          Y1
Clay Bucholz           $5          Y1
Rick Porcello           $5          Y1
Brian Matusz           $2          Y1
 
Justin Smoak           $2         Rookie
Jesus Montero         $2          Rookie
Neftali Feliz             $2          Rookie

So....you're thinking:  "Why should I care?"  And here's your answer.  That leaves a number of very nice players available for trade
 
Jeff Niemann          $10      Y1
Trevor Cahill           $10      Y1
Phil Hughes           $6        Y1
 
Eric Hosmer            $2      Rookie
Lars Anderson         $5      Rookie
Grant Green            $5      Rookie
Aaron Hicks            $5      Rookie
Mike Moustakas      $10    Rookie
Engel Beltre            $2      Rookie
Jake Arietta            $5      Rookie
 
So....this presents a couple of opportunities.
 
#1 - If you can provide a significant upgrade over one of the intended keeper players, we could complete a trade in which you got the upgraded player from the keeper list, plus a player or two from the non-keeper list.  A quintessential win/win situation.
 
OR
 
#2 - You can propose 2/3 for 1 trades where you trade me one valuable keeper in exchange for 2 or 3 of the players off of my non-keeper list.  Since the rookie contracts are all cheap and all of them are sure to be in the Baseball America Top 100 this year, that should also be a win/win - especially if you're in rebuilding mode.
 
Let the games being!!
