Trades:

I thought about offering some guys for him before, but I just don't know yet, he'll get the steals no doubt, but he's never done anthing like this in his career, we'll see where he's at in a month or so. Not even saying u trade him, just saying. Uv really improved ur team though with that trade, nicely done.

Sucks when the guy in 1st improves his team but I dont think it was a terrible move for Mantis either.

Tim what u thinking on the deals I proposed, I 'd really like to work something out, feel like I'm offering what ur looking for, remember ur not gonna play those teams that don't pay attention every week.

Yeah i know exactly what u mean its just me being greedy but Im trying to come up with a package for u to get JJ and Verlander. Just trying to come up with something that isnt insulting LOL.

Romero throws a 5 hit shutout with 12 k's. Nice!

Those deals are real good, not gonna do much better, and I can't afford to give up both those guys, I thought about doing it if u threw in Hansen, but it just hurts me more then helps me then, I think one of the deals sitting is probably as good as it gets.


Oggy, yeah saw Romero pitched well today, but he's to up and down for my taste, I'd be interested in Garcia, but the fact he's on an innings count this year worries me for later in the season.

i see you dropped franceour.....

Cruz cameback, and I'm thinking me an Timbo are gonna finally strike our deal that makes no room for other OFers.

yea plus he sucks

Yeah much like Swisher after the first couple months

Tim just wanted to make sure u saw this, it'd be very hard to trade both guys and it make any sense, ur still getting 2 pitchers in the deals.

Yeah i saw it and I agree we need to come up with something quick and I will be on after the fights tonight what about u???

Yeah I like to do something so we have new guys Monday

Im with u on that! We will try hard to get something done tonight then

Word, I'll tell you now, the deals already in place, you can swap in Bartlett it that gets it done, for the ones that makes sense with.

If u aint willing to budge alittle i dont know if we will get it done. I have to look it over again but Im not sure I love the deals u offered. I will double check though or counter back with alittle tweak to see what u think.

All but the Jimenez deal? is that appealing?

Yes very!!

Yeah figured that's probably the deal ud accept, that one stays as is though cause it's even, we can talk this out over the next hour or so, I got a little time if u do. I'm gonna go get a couple beers though to enjoy tonights result

You worked him

hrm. Well he definitely got more names thats for sure. I was weakest in Avg and Runs scored and i improved that big time .. and I dont feel I went down in RBIs to much. Where I lost the most was HRs.. and obviously Ws SO ERA and WHIP. But I was kind of done with burnett, I will be getting Bret Anderson back in a week or so anyway. I dunno, kinda feel like we helped each other, but time will see I guess. If we are going by numbers right now, than the deal was actually quite even.

Ichiro is playing for Seattle who is only 1 of 2 players that are actually hitting.. and he really isnt cranking in the HRs so he really isnt getting much help rounding the bases. I think Seattle is going to be shitty all year. Austin Jackson is young and quick and a leadoff hitter of a better O, plus I am sold that he will be a star (might be biased there, being that I played baseball against him down here). I probably would have traded mark reynolds for Elvis straight up at this point.. I like Mark Reynolds but I think Loney softens that blow.. I think the Rangers Offense is about to blow up with Young and Josh really starting to come around again and Vlad is smashing and we got Nelly and Kinsler back, and Andrus will be that nice Leadoff guy there with a bunch of steals.

So maybe I did go after players with a Bias.. but I am cool with the trade.. so thats all the matters.

Golbez I actually thought u helped ur team and that the trade wasnt that bad for either of u guys.

Tim sure u saw, you got that on deal with Ubaldo still there, and I proposed a couple other lesser deals

Tim I'm thinking that JJ deal or the Jimenez one are the best bets, any chance we bang this out by tomorrow? Now we have to try to catch up after Oggy improved

well I am glad that I could shoot Oggy up the rankings. Whats funny is I was the one who proposed that trade.. So I "worked" myself if anything ...

I am last in avg and 2nd last in Runs.. I had to improve there and I didnt lose to much of my power, except in HRs.. I think I improved and I know Oggy improved too.. but I guess Oggys team was better than mine from the beginning so him improving i guess is a bigger deal.. but by going by LA's reaction, my team is worse than BBC's now..

I thought it was a good deal for both, and I am confused cuz I am still okay with it even with LA practically crowning oggy from it.

Ichiro is hitting for avg on a awful team
and Burnett doesn't have good WHIP and has been having problems late.
and Mark Reynolds is Mark Reynolds..

but whatever .. anyway .. I wont be back online probably till weds (probably get on to see if my lineup is alright) .. I am back in Dallas getting some family time.

You when with hot guys vs. sure things.

You'll be in the mix obviously, to bad there's divisions cause us 4 def should be in the playoffs, but...

I thought ur team was fine personally before hand

And Reynolds is a beast, his only weakness is Ave. but he'll end up around .275 by years end
