Frank Thomas 3.0 Star DH/1B reasonably priced at 3.0 mil through the rest of this season

Outfielders

Mark Kotsay 2.5 Star CF, making too much money at 7.3 Mil through 2008
Jay Payton 1.5 star OF making 4.0 mil through this season

My untouchables are:

Rich Harden
Dan Meyer
Dan Haren
Joe Blanton
Huston Street
Justin Douchescherererrrrrrerr(for now)
Kiko Calero
Brad Halsey
Chad Gaudin
Daric Barton
Craig Italiano
Javier Herrera

Or basically any of my top 10 prospects.

I am not opposed to moving Chavez if I take on one major league ready guy in return who is considerably cheaper.

[bjd2933]

If I do trade a big contract, I do plan on extending Zito.... so he is on the block for now... I'll field offers.

[Kingdom]

My team plus my soul for Zito, Haren, and Antonio Perez.

[Reds_fan_4_life]

blue jays like: Nick Swisher/Kazuhito Tadano/Antonio Perez/

[bjd2933]

Haren is off limits

I'm not dealing with you unless you approach me with a deal that includes the word "Jered" followed by the word "Weaver"

and don't pull any Jeff bullshit on me.

[Kingdom]

fine

"Jered" and "Weaver" in some type of deal for Zito.
But you'll have to fill in the blanks. And psssht, Jeff is too good for your moneyballing arse!

[realmofotalk]

Uh, I don't mean to sound like your mom but why didn't you just take over Oakland in the first place?

[Kingdom]

I don't like their propensity to make little cash. And I thought they had a GM at the time.

[Providence A's]

I know you said Javier Herrera is "untouchable"...but what would you want for him? look at my team/trade block to see...I do have a slightly better CF than Herrera if you wanted to build a deal around those two players.

[bernie132000]

Dodgers have interest in Dan Johnson.

[bjd2933]

I kind of like Dioner Navarro, Andre Ethier and James Loney(of course not all 3 for johnson...). When you're dealing with me, you better prepare to give up prospects... not even because thats what I want, because I have no money.

[bjd2933]

I know you said Javier Herrera is "untouchable"...but what would you want for him? look at my team/trade block to see...I do have a slightly better CF than Herrera if you wanted to build a deal around those two players.

Well, I use untouchable loosely... of course I'll deal anyone if it makes sense.

Especially since you are St. Louis, and I like Wainwright, and Reyes... and my top prospects are not off-limits if they get me Jered Weaver, Phil Hughes, Craig Hansen, Zach Duke, Prince Fielder, or another highly touted prospect I like... so I do use untouchable loosely.

[bjd2933]

Barry Zito deal pending, he is off-limits unless anything falls through

[TheLeiterSide]

Mets like AAA SP Kirk Saarloos and MR Steve Karsay. What'll it take to get'em both?

[bjd2933]

Mets like AAA SP Kirk Saarloos and MR Steve Karsay. What'll it take to get'em both?

Would you part with Royce Ring(2.5 star spect) for both?

Nevermind that, I thought Karsay was only 1.5 star, he is 2.5... Ring would definately be a start, along with another spect.
