Completed Trade

Zach gets Steven Strausburg

Elliot gets Howie Kendrick and 50% of Zach's DD's

...I will assume that no response from anyone in the league means that nobody wants to veto this trade.

Trades

Well, this offseason kinda sucks. So, I will post who is available from my team and what I am looking for, and maybe I will receive an e-mail or 2. My e-mail is zcjett@gmail.com.

I have the following players available:

Delmon Young
Howie Kendrick
Jacoby Ellsbury
Matt Holliday
Victor Martinez

Jonathan Papelbon
Gio Gonzalez
Maybe one of my starters, depending on the offer.

I am looking for prospects really, or an OF.

E-mail me!

Slow Offseason

Available Players

Hi Everyone,

As I posted on the league website, the following players do not fit into my long term plans and are available in a trade. I am especially looking for young pitching, however speculative it may be.

Yadier Molina - C
David Ortiz - 1B
Mark DeRosa - 1B,2B,3B,OF
Derek Jeter - SS
Melky Cabrera - OF
Nick Swisher - OF
Barry Zito - P

I'm not going to give them away, but all fair offers will be considered.

Ted

Trading $$$$

I'm still looking to pickup 1-2 more cheap players this draft, but I'm more interested in next year. If anyone is willing to trade me $50 (or as much as you have) for next year... IF we do the draft this way, then i'll give up my remaining $44 this year.

Also will buy a waiver spot increase. I'm somewhere around 7 or so in waiver.

Trade Completed

Zach gives up Joe Nathan, Max Scherzer and $60 draft dollars

Steve gives up Jonathan Papelbon

Is anyone interested in

Randy Wells or a package of Randy Wells and Josh Johnson?

Steeeeeeeeve!

I need auction results or I might die!!!

Joe Nathan

Yes, it looks like Joe Nathan is going to be out for the season. They are postponing his surgery for 2 weeks to see if he can make a comeback, but its unlikely. Anyway, I am making him available for cheap. If anyone is interested in stashing him away for this year, let me know. I think we can work something out.

Trade

Eric gives Kyle: Chris Davis

Kyle gives Eric $165 draft dollars

Trade

Eric gives Steve: Billy Wagner

Steve gives Eric: $71

Nominations?!?

hmm...I will assume that nobody nominated anyone, so I will take Strasburg for a dollar plz.

Info for this Year

Sorry it's taken me longer than usual to get everything situated for the year. I'll e-mail rosters updated for drops and draft instructions this week. As Connor said, shit is real.

Yahoo Leagues Are Up

SHIT JUST GOT REAL!

Trade

I am trading Ian Desmond from the Washington Natinals to Ted inexchange for $25 draft dollars.

The trade proposal has gone to steve via ted. I am unsure if he is able to long into the blog or not to approve this at this point in time.

Fantasy Baseball 10....

Only about 2 weeks before they post the free agents and we can start the draft process (last year Yahoo did this on Feb 11). This has been a very quiet offseason...anyone still checking the blog?
