Witlon - I know OM PMed it to you, but I figured it would be easier if I just posted it.

actually he PMed it to me 1st...next time just tell whoever that you'll post it Brownie...I know it's posted in the "Send all trades to Witlon" thread...but no one seems to be paying attention to it lately.

even though i need it to pass for mine to get through... i dont like it for btown. zambrano is the better pitcher, albeit older and neither are really having good results this year, and waldrop is the better prospect. fail.

I guess I'll try to explain it from my side.
A) I need to do this for the other trade to pass.
B) I'm going with a 4 man rotation, and since I got Lester my 4 best pitchers are him, Peavy, Miller, and Chacin...no need for Zambrano, and I don't wanna go 5 man.
C) I get younger and save money.

If Brownie is OK with it, I'll make an executive decision to pass it and pass the other deal...the teams involved with these deals will be able to send me changes for the sim tonight.
