Looking for a solid 2B and CL

[Kingdom]

Cleveland here... have a few pieces I can move.


LF Jason Dubois

1B Ryan Garko

3B Wes Hodges

SP Paul Byrd

[Kingdom]

Things I won't be looking to move:

Jhonny Peralta, who apparently took steroids in 2006..
Maybe Victor Martinez, solid catcher under 30 is a hard find..

That's about it, everything else is fair game. But not cheap.

Needs:
2B
CL

PM me if you have any ideas.

joe thurston for andy marte

[Kingdom]

I would only give joey belle for joe thurston

[Kingdom]

Shoppach is gone.
Still looking for another solid pen guy and a solid 2B.

SD Loves Marte, but pretty much only Peavy and Linebrink can get him, my no-nos.

[Kingdom]

I would never move Marte for a 30 year old reliever.

[Dry1313]

Wow, he's 30? I didn't even notice. Well, obviously not.

But my farm is weak sans Carillo, who wouldn't be enough for Marte anyway, so **** it.

[Hammer]

bill wagner do anything for you?

damn hes 35 and signed til eternity... forget it.

[General]

I've got Howie Kendrick. Don't want to move K-Rod, but I might.

I don't have a closer at the MLB level, but I do have two in the minors-

Mark Melancon 9-9-9 talent, 4 endurance, close to mlb ready. Would deal for another big time prospect

J. Brent Cox 10-7-7 talent, 3 endurance. A little further off, and a year older. Melancon is probably the heir apparent to Mr. Rivera, so this guy is pretty expendable.

Who do you want for JB?

[Slyder]

Grudz as a stop gap 2b for now?

[Kingdom]

Sure, but I wouldn't give very much.

Since there has been interest in Sizemore, I'll specify here what I'd consider moving him for:


1. A good SP that's ready.
or
2. A top notch SP prospect (stressing "top" and "notch")
or
3. A good hitter at a different position, which can be 1B, 2B, ..or just about any position. Exception being another outfielder, it would likely be pointless unless I simply liked the other OF'er more. I'd be more interested in a 2B, but with DH, any IF would work.

I'm stingy on the guy since he's young, has speed, has power, has defense, and is cheaply signed for five years.
