well, I'm officially in rebuilding mode... or so I'll try. missed the sim day and forgot to send in line-ups initially... as a result, 0-14. rip.
players available:
#92 Kendall Hernandez, Designated Hitter, 38 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Makes 4.7 mil, and is retiring at season's end. Signed him before I decided I was in rebuild mode. Good for fan interest and some pop at DH or in one of the corner OF positions if you can sacrifice defense to play him there.
#10 Donald Karl, Second Base, 32 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Good power bat, 8 home runs already, and good amount of RBIs, hitting in a very weak lineup. NEEDS TO GO, don't have a need for him, he's not making much, and it's his last year of his contract.
#11 Donte Billups, Rightfield, 31 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Platoon alert... good against righties, and can leadoff. Very high eye, 7 contact, good gap, and decent power (must be a high 5, cause he hit a decent amount of HRs last year for me).. and great speed. Would be a nice leadoff hitter against RHP.
#56 Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Catcher, 37 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Signed just for this year, and cheap, Salty's having a very respectable season splitting time. I just don't really need him, and he's wasting away. Could help someone in need of a good #2 catcher.
#49 Michael Tessier, Starting Pitcher, 31 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Tessier just can't pitch for me. But stats show he's been fine elsewhere...
#49 Melvin Polson, Starting Pitcher, 33 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Polson has 1 walk in nearly 50 innings so far. He still has enough left in his tank to warrant the remianing year on his contract next year, and I will chip in on the contract.
#59 James Garr, Starting Pitcher, 33 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
Need him gone. He's lost it for me, and is in his final year... someone needing to take a chance on a cheap SP can gamble here. Not looking for much.
#19 Harold Oestreich, Starting Pitcher, 29 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
My best piece of trade bait... number speak for themselves. Looking for something nice here obviously. Not going to sell cheap, so I'll just keep him. But feel free to make an offer, it's not like he's untouchable. I'd just like a nice piece in return here.
#6 Bernal Valverde, Reliever, 25 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
4.0 25-year-old middle reliever with very solid ratings.
#11 Julio Sanchez, Reliever, 30 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
3.5 middle reliever with, again, very solid ratings.
#68 Gerald Gratton, Reliever, 29 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
3.0 29-year-old middle reliever with good ratings and past success
Erazo, Stanley, & Deshazo are all gone. Ankney gone pending approval.
PM works best. Figured I'd just update this thread, than make another one all together.
