Bump. Alou is gone.

I'm looking for a back-up catcher that could be a borderline starter. Ideally, someone younger that could fill-in for Simmons when he gets hurt (like the 5-6 weeks that he is out now).

[Slyder]

Rodriguez or Manzanares from LA? I'm thinking of calling up Smith very soon.

#2 Jose "Black Diamond" Mendez, Starting Pitcher, 27 yrs, New York (N) Mets - Out of the Park Baseball Report

Looking for a stud batter of similar age and ratings in return if he is moved.

[Mach]

What about Whurlizer in a SP extravaganza swap? Whurl's a little less, but she's already a 3.5 type SP (she was top listed on my ratings report last sim with the same ratings as now), young, cost controlled.

[Providence A's]

I need offense otherwise I probably wouldn't move him. I'm not worried about the cost of Mendez as the $10 mil extension is $10 mil less than he wanted last season lol.

[Mach]

Mendez for Chipper makes some sense too come to think... Not that it helps me, just pondering out loud.

[Providence A's]

Unfortunately, I can think of $32 million reasons why that wouldn't work for me...assuming he even wanted to trade with me.

[PhillyFan]

I would say Duke Snider but age is off I'm guessing.

[Providence A's]

For Mendez, yes...unless there was more to it...in general though, no, the age isn't a problem.

[cjkalt]

Any of the Oakland OFs appeal to you?

[Providence A's]

SP Mendez and SP Smith gone in separate deals pending approval.
