Oakland Trades:

SP Deolis Guerra - 5.0 spec - MLC

Washington Trades:

3B Ryan Zimmerman - 5.0 spec - $300k



Guerra is definitely nice if he develops, but he's light years away. Zimmerman is a rare commodity in that he plays excellent D at 3B and has good offensive ratings. Look at the other stud 3B specs/young guys...they all suck at D except LaRoche (Zimmerman is slightly better) and Cabrera (isn't available). Also knowing that my 1st pick in real life for this draft is a SP should off-set the loss of Deolis a little. And then the Harden deal looks like this...3B Zimmerman, CF/RF Gomez, and SP Pelfrey...all of which are either ready or very close to ready (which should make Zito happy as he said he was surprised I didn't get closer to ready pieces). Gomez and Pelfrey will probably be up at some point this year...definitely next year for sure.

Pass. Zimmerman is only 22 and loyal, any talent difference is easily made up in the difference of ratings.

I'll pass this, wish I would have woken up a bit earlier though and gotten to your PM.

It's cool though, I think you're getting a better deal here anyway. And I like LaRoche.

wait just a tic... the jeff zimmerman that used to close for the rangers?





In all seriousness, it's awesome anyone still remembers jeff zimmerman.

Oakland with robbery. I'm betting Deolis loses talent before 2008's ASB

Oh well, you should be happy because it's Dam...Mr. "all of my prospects will pan out and I'll destroy everyone!!!" He could use a bit of OOTP reality, no?

Eh, the aging sliders are now way in the negatives to prevent players from dying really easily.. I don't know if that prevents young kids from dying though.

[Hammer]

talent differences are made up by current ability... pass this too.
