Casey Janssen? I can throw in a bench bat or excellent middle reliever at no cost cause I have to drop a guy.

Don't blame you. Just throwing my name in the hat. Good luck getting a Holland type.

I was thinking about Chapman, but outside of Reed, any of his closers can lose their job tomorrow.

Don't get me started on the D-Backs organization -- I think it's the worst run organization in baseball.

But they gave up prospects to get this closer -- L O L to begin with -- so they better stick with him.

Everyday I check to see who will replace Belisario and every day Ventura puts the ball back in his hands. His other options must be me and you.

I don't have much reason to trade Smith since he just got the job and I think he's better than Frieri. But Scioscia is an idiot who loves Frieri.

I probably favor Melancon the most since I think he actually has the stuff and is better than Grilli. He just pissed me off at the right time last night.

And that clown Reed, I actually drafted to be my ONE rock steady closer.

Probably an overreaction last night. They all ruined a good night by my new favorite pitcher Arrietta.

I'd lol if Grilli bumps Smith and Frieri bumps Melancon. That would be about right.

Belisario may be the worst closer in the history of baseball. How do you give up a run every outing and still have a job?

I'd be happy.


Will listen to offers on Josh Hamilton and Gregory Polanco. I think it's about that time I start making up some innings. Can't have 2 points for K's.

I am a little ahead in innings. I would like an outfielder.

I want to keep Kershaw and Tanaka unless you blow me away with an offer. Bum would not be cheap, but he is my best "available" starter. I would like to hold on to Beckett unless you bring some heat. Dude is an ace again, and I don't think I would get a good return.

Niese and Hammel could be easily moved. Both are strong in ERA and usually QS. Hammel has an excellent WHIP.

I hate trading you a pitcher because we are close in ERA, WHIP, and overall points, but I could away use more HR/RBI or even steals.

Just looked at your roster. You have an excess of bats. This should be pretty simple to put together a trade.

I am interested in a decent number of your guys. Here are rough possibilities:

Giancarlo = Kershaw
Fake cargo = Big three sp
JD Martinez = Hammel
Polanco = MWG's arm and leg
Billy Hamilton = ?
Josh Hamilton = ?

I don't want Prado, Rollins, or need Laroche. I assume you want to keep Stanton and Gomez.

If that don't work out, I have a guy with a 9+ k/9 and a nice FIP who's working through some pitch tipping. Little inconsistent, but shows some promise.

Agreed, it is fair. Will accept (or decline) well before game time.

I thought he was starting Sunday. Not that it matters.

Ok.

If my VKC deal doesn't go through, hit me up with Darvish. Just tell me exactly what you want like VKC... you've become really gun shy.
