We need to get a backup IF who can hit, an OF who can hit lefties and has a lot of plate apps, and to replace Jeff Weaver.

==Claudio Vargas==

I have cleaned up this page and moved all the old information to [[PSBL Archive]].
−
I have no idea what to offer yet.
+
  
−
==Curt Schilling==
+
==Strengths==
−
I offered Jeff Weaver for Schilling straight up.  I would be willing to include a prospect as well, but I dont think its worth that much.  I think Weaver can have a big year in Safeco.
+
Solid defense.  Excellent offense.  Best playoff rotation in the league.
 +
==Weaknesses==
 +
No high use catcher.  Thin relief.
  
−
==Kenny Rogers==
+
=Plan=
−
I am thinking Johjima and Weaver for Rogers and Posada.  This would greatly improve their youth and help us immensely this year.  That would catapult us up near the top I think.
+
Go for it and get back to the winning ways of yore.
  
−
==Woody Williams==
+
=Pre Season Deals=
−
I dont know if he is worth Weaver by himself.
+
What follows are all of the deals I have considered seriously.  Some have been offered, some have not.
−
 
+
−
==John Smoltz==
+
−
He has overvalued Smoltz in the past, but who knows?
+
−
 
+
−
==Kevin Mench==
+
−
He fits the bill in the OF.
+
−
 
+
−
==Juan Rivera==
+
−
Why the hell is his name constantly on this list?  I think he would be great filling in all over the place in the OF and even DHing now and again.  With his injury, his value should be down.  I have my fingers crossed.
+
  
−
==Marco Scutaro/Pablo Ozuna==
+
==Stephen Drew==
−
The Cubs have both of these guys, and getting one would help a lot.  He is unpredictable to trade with, however.
+
I cant remember who I was getting in the OF to facilitate this, but I am considering offering Tejada and Abreu for Stephen Drew and a good reliever, like Soria.
  
 +
==Pick 15==
 +
I have offered Headley and K-Rod for pick 15 and Olivo.  I have also guaranteed him I-Rod for a 7th or 8th rounder to fill his eligibility if he so chooses after we get our lists done.  He said this is a good offer he is considering among two others.
  
−
=Team Building Philosophy=
+
==Aramis Ramirez==
−
Since we had that mini-discussion about team stuff, I figured it might be good to get my thoughts written.  This way we can find where we differ, and then bridge that gap and hopefully improve our ability to field a great team and win games.
+
Jon offered me Ramirez for Hughes and Teagarden.  This messes up my C situation, but if I get Olivo its moot.  I could also counter with pick 15 if he wants that.
  
−
==Offense==
+
==Jay Bruce==
−
I prefer to have a lot of speed at the top of the lineup, but OBP is more important.  I prefer no more than 3-4 right handed hitters if possible.  The #4 hitter should be a RH with a lot of power and good OBP, Pujols is the ideal #4 in my opinion.  The #3 hitter should have great OBP, good average and good power and be a switch hitter or LH.  The #5 hitter should be a LH batter with great power and OBP.  I prefer not to stack more than 2 RH batters in a row, there are so many relievers that get them out, make the opponent either have a guy who is good vs both sides or use 2 relievers.
+
Whatever.  Matt is on crack.  Still, Im tenacious and as dumb as a sack of hammers hanging from a fencepost.  I am considering offering Rolen, Cantu and Kerry Wood for Bruce.
  
−
==Defense==
+
=First Round Pick Possibilities=
−
I prefer range over sure-handedness.  I dont mind some errors if it means the guy gets to a lot of balls.  In the OF I really like guys who can throw.  With as much value as I place on taking an extra base for free, having an OF who can prevent it is a nice bonus, and often isnt too expensive.  I really prefer a C who can throw, if he cant the pitching staff needs to be tailored.
+
In the first round we have pick 4.  I want to try and move up to 1 as well as acquire pick 5.
  
−
==Pitching==
+
==Best Players Available==
−
I prefer to have one left handed starter and one left handed reliever. Its crucial that both be good vs both sides, because they are so easy to min-max. The #1 starter must be right handed and dominant both ways. The closer must not blow games, those are wins thrown away. A bad start can be overcome, but a blown save is very difficult (less innings to work with) to beat.

I think you have to put Beckham on this list. In the PSCB, none of these players were available, except Hanson, but Beckham went first and Hanson third> I like him better than Rasmus and La Porta.
−
I prefer to only carry 2 C so there are enough spaces to platoon a couple of guys and have some bats when needed. No more than one of the reserve OF should be veterans, and all of the reserve OF should have big bats vs at least one side.  Its great to have a real fast pinch runner too.
+
  
−
==Overall Philosophy==
+
I need a CF really bad, but I thought McCutchen was on a team, but since he is not, thats my guy.
−
I prefer a well rounded approach to a team with one big strength.  It seems to be much more difficult to stop a team that does a lot of things, than one that concentrates on one.

I have cleaned up this page and moved all the old information to PSBL Archive.

Strengths

Solid defense. Excellent offense. Best playoff rotation in the league.

Weaknesses

No high use catcher. Thin relief.

Plan

Go for it and get back to the winning ways of yore.

Pre Season Deals

What follows are all of the deals I have considered seriously. Some have been offered, some have not.

Stephen Drew

I cant remember who I was getting in the OF to facilitate this, but I am considering offering Tejada and Abreu for Stephen Drew and a good reliever, like Soria.

Pick 15

I have offered Headley and K-Rod for pick 15 and Olivo. I have also guaranteed him I-Rod for a 7th or 8th rounder to fill his eligibility if he so chooses after we get our lists done. He said this is a good offer he is considering among two others.

Aramis Ramirez

Jon offered me Ramirez for Hughes and Teagarden. This messes up my C situation, but if I get Olivo its moot. I could also counter with pick 15 if he wants that.

Jay Bruce

Whatever. Matt is on crack. Still, Im tenacious and as dumb as a sack of hammers hanging from a fencepost. I am considering offering Rolen, Cantu and Kerry Wood for Bruce.

First Round Pick Possibilities

In the first round we have pick 4. I want to try and move up to 1 as well as acquire pick 5.

Best Players Available

1. Matt Wieters
2. Rick Porcello
3. Tommy Hanson
4. Neftali Feliz
5. Andrew McCuthchen

8. Colby Rasmus
9. Chris Coghlan
10. Matt LaPorta


Others

Nolan Reimold
Jordan Schafer
Fernando Martinez
Tommy Hunter
Wade Davis
Chris Tillman
Brian Matusz
Andrew Bailey

I think you have to put Beckham on this list. In the PSCB, none of these players were available, except Hanson, but Beckham went first and Hanson third> I like him better than Rasmus and La Porta.

I need a CF really bad, but I thought McCutchen was on a team, but since he is not, thats my guy.
