SS/2B Kevin Melillo 2.5 stars
SS Joseph Saville 5.0 spect
SS Wesley Long 2.0 stars
1B Kendrick Delmonte 4.0 spect
3B Brian Snyder 2.0 stars(8 contact)

Long and Snyder can be had cheap.... Saville and Melillo will cost a little... would like to acquire an OF for Saville.

[bjd2933]

Still looking to move some of these guys, except Saville and Mellilo are off the block, I'll platoon them until Uggla dies.

Delmonte really has to go, Drago and Ishikawa are better first base options.... would like to move him for a similar player at a corner OF or a MR.

[browntown653]

I know you didn't specifically say you were looking for one, but would you be interested in C Ronnie Paulino?

[bjd2933]

Nah, I'm pretty set at catcher with Willingham for now.

[browntown653]

Ah yes, forgot you traded for him...I only looked at your MLB roster haha

[Doppelgänger]

interested in Brian Snyder, what are you asking for him?

[bjd2933]

A similar OF or a soiid MR will get it done

[Doppelgänger]

David Sanders?

[bjd2933]

That'll get it done... Snyder is rotting in my minors. My PC is running kinda slow, can you type it up and send it to me?

(your PM box is ful)

[bjd2933]

basically anyone but Knipp, Butler, Saville, Bartling, Drago, Ray and Villareal can be had... and I'd even be willing to part with them if the price is right.

I have some nice cheap, movable parts... not including ben sheets, who's contract is an absolute albatross.

[bjd2933]

Torii hunter can be had for free...
Aramis Ramirez can be had for a pitching machine or a bat rack
Jason Windsor can be had for a pair of cleats, size 12 preferably.
Kevin melillo or dan uggla can also be moved.

I will up to pay half of his remaining salary if allowed to by the TC to trade ben sheets. maybe a change in scenery will get him going... he has sucked a nice long hard one for two seasons.

everyone else I pretty much want to keep, or has absolutely no value anyway...

[bjd2933]

Oh yeah... travis ishikawa... not free, but on the market. I'll call up Mofo Delmonte and use Drago as my DH.

[Providence A's]

The most you could send would be 2/5 of his salary, but you have less than $1 mil in "cash" so you couldn't even do that as that is where the money is sent from.

[bjd2933]

Ok... so if anyone wants ben sheets you have to absorb his awful contract!

(Hey, he was a pitcher, not a batting tee when I signed him)
