Texas - Seattle

[Mackus]

Rangers trade:
2.5 SP Wenceslao Santacruz, $350,000
4.5P RF Ricky Rios, MLC
4.0P CL James Stall, MLC

Mariners trade
4.5 MR Casey McKenzie, $5,000,000

I've got just over $12,000,000 left for FAs, so adding McKenzie's $5M and Qualls' $3M should be within my budget unless I'm doing something wrong.

Going by the star ratings I'd be fine with it, but Seattle's getting an OK SP, a completely underdeveloped/almost useless OF prospect, and an OK RP prospect for an elite reliever. Sorry, can't pass this one.

Nay. McKenzie is as good ratings-wise as it gets for a reliever in this league. Santacruz appears to be damaged goods and Rios is one birthday shy from being listed as a 1.0 overall player.

ill pass it, i look at rios as a bonus. if he ever comes to his ability, that would be superb. mckenzie could hypothetically start, but not very long [meaning into a game, not years]... stall is a solid reliever, i was trying to bag him for sisco after i found him in his system, and santacruz is still semi young and if he can get work, i think he'll be able to max his ratings. and hes a full out starter. i think relievers have a tendency to be overrated in leagues, though admittedly mckenzie is real nice ratings wise, hes never had an elite season numbers wise.

2 - 2...needs more votes...mmmmm, more votes

passing it... look at porter's team. How many relievers like Mckenzie does he have, who have 5 endurance, but can't start? mckenzie and fruto are identicle, and then ennis and tarter are below that tier but both pitchers are very similar to eachother much like mckenzie and fruto are eachother. He'd be better off trying to get package one from each group to get an elite starter or something that can really help him in the future, but well... he's porter.

While this trade doesn't fix any major holes, it's manageable I think... for porter. Pass.

OK, I'm going to pass it with a 3 - 2 vote because it's almost time to sim and I'm not going to delay.
