Looking to unload some talent because my team isn't competing. Looking for spects that DON'T play 1B or 3B. Like it says in the topic, lots of MLB-ready pitching available as well because I have a ton of spects that need a chance this year.

2B Jesse Garcia http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p616.html
2.5 stars, lots of contact, pretty good defensively at 2B. Could probably lead off or be an ideal #2 hitter in the right line-up. Looking for something decent for him.
SS John Halama http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p542.html
1.0 stars, but has decent contact (7) and 10 gap. Could be a nice bench player, isn't making a whole lot. Can be had very cheap.
3B Pedro Feliz http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p655.html
2.0 stars, and while he's not going to provide a high average, he's on pace for 40+ doubles and 20+ hrs. Not looking for a ton of him, but he's not someone I really NEED to unload.
3B Troy Smith http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p4079.html
5.0 spect, 18 years old. Actually is almost MLB ready. Not neccesarily looking to deal him, and unless the right offer comes along, I probably won't. But with Barton at 1st, and viewing Moser as the future at 3rd, I don't really have a place to play him. If you're going to make an offer, I'm looking for the equal player at a different position. One close to being MLB ready would be best as well. Prefferably an OFer, but C, SS, or SP works as well.
OF Jose Cruz Jr http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p744.html
1.5 stars, but is making little money and has nice defensive ratings and such. A nice 4th or 5th outfielder if you're looking for defense. Again, can be had very cheap.
MR Jeremy Accardo http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p3702.html
4.0 spect with nice talent ratings and pretty solid overall ratings. Plus he's been in a barfight. But he just can't put it together for me, so I'm open to dealing him for a spect. Looking for either a relief spect with close to the same ratings, or even something else, ratings varrying depending on what type of position it is.
SP Rich Fischer http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p1242.html
1.0 overall, but he sports an 8/8/6 talent line with 9 endurance, and is only 26. He's around 5/6/6 or something right now, so if he continues to develop he could tap out as a 4th or 5th starter in someone's rotation. I'm in no rush to trade him really, but I have better options in my minors and on my MLB roster, so he's available. Looking for a decent spect, ratings varrying depending on the position.
SP Brad Hennessey http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p2284.html
1.0 stars and already 27, but has decent enough talent ratings to possibly turn into a MR or something at some point. 6/8/7, and his current ratings are close to that. He was a 2.5 starter at one point last season, but current ratings fell off. Also is signed to just a MLC. Can be had really cheap.
SP Kelvim Escobar http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p668.html
2.5 stars, good ratings. Solid era, 6-4 w/l record. Not making a ton of money and is locked up through 2008. Looking for a solid enough spect, but nothing amazing.
SP Joe Saunders http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p3670.html
2.5 stars, and hasn't met full talent yet. Having a decent year out of the pen, and could move into my rotation if I move other pieces. But for now he is on the block. Looking for a solid spect in return, in the 3.0-4.0 range, depending on the position.
SP Shane Komine http://www.freewebtown.com/thirdstrike/p1880.html
2.0 stars, and a lot of potential to be much better. Good era albeit a losing record. He's not as much cheap as the others, simply because he has the makeup and intangibles to be a very solid #1 or 2 (depending on the team). May be 26, but he's still developing and has developed since turning 26. Looking for a pretty good prospect here.
_____________________________________________
That's about it for the block itself, but if there's interest in someone else feel free to ask. However, the following players I really have no interest in trading, and probably won't feel like negotiating anything for so it's not really worth it to ask:
Matt Cain
Noah Lowry
Kyle Drabek
Alfredo Simon
PM or AIM me (@ This Secret Nick) offers. If you have interest, you can reply in this thread stating so and I'll check out your team and get back to you if there's something that strikes my liking. But if you're going to PM me, I prefer you actually make an offer in the PM so I can counter/have something to work with.
Thanks guys.
