ARBA Message Board

Kevin

I, too, appreciate the efforts of Tom and Gary in getting together an accurate record of the current A players, but I wanted to float an idea for the future. MLB offense has been dropping for some time. In 2004, the major league average OPS was 763. In 2014, it was 700. The progression has been gradual...

Y.O.C.

All - The revised A Player list has been posted. The only "new" A players for this season are David Price and Adam Wainwright, who were already on long-term A contracts. This is easily the shortest list of A Players than I can remember, although we do have 3 players that will presumably get...

Looking for players to make another playoff run Upgrades Needed: 2b (Brandon Phillips) 3b (Matt Dominguez) C (Conger/Grandal) Pure holes in team: CF (although I guess I could play Bruce there) Relief (both lh/rh) Random needs: 2nd/3rd round picks Available: Michael Choice (first year call up...

Sewell, as I mentioned before, is shopping Derek Jeter's farewell tour. He will be in the C auction if not traded. The other card Sewell is putting on the block is Robbie Ray, who just turned 23 and was the BA #97 prospect prior to the season. He can be an unlimited SP, or is also little-A eligible if you...

Surprise definitely isn't ready to start the offseason yet, but I'll go ahead and post some initial thoughts anyway. Their pitching looks very good again, despite some disappointments. However, the offense isn't really up to par and most of the part-time studs from their 2014 team cratered. So...

Eric

Yeah, okay. I should probably make some attempt to participate in the offseason, or whatever. Shiner somehow won 80 games in the 1st year of their rebuilding project and it's probably going to get much worse before it gets better. So almost everyone's for sale! Although picks and prospects are...

Kevin

David Ortiz is coming off A (unless my math skills fail me). I'm not sure what his contract status will be if traded, but since he was an E player in 1999, I am assuming he is at worst a B15. That would be 480K for a guy who hits 263/355/517. The other carded player who I'm shopping is Tony Cingrani (B2), who...

Y.O.C.

All - Please note that the Offseason Schedule has been updated to reflect the 2/7 C/FA Auction per Ken's email of last week, since I got several agreements with the change and no objections. Thanks, -Tom

Rome sends Brandon Workman for Chris Okey

Aaron

I'm willing to talk about trades for either: Dee Gordon Corey Kluber But it will take a lot to get either. Everyone else not named McCutch or Eaton, are available as well, like: Daniel Murphy, but if I trade away Gordon, I'll keep him as my 2b and vice versa Ryan Ludwick Pedro Alvarez David Phelps Jame...

Looking to move: Shane Victorino Billy Butler Joey Votto - coming off A contract Joe Nathan - closer rating, 4.81 era Joel Peralta - 4.41 era Kevin Siegrist Looking for good young outfield in return, also high picks and prospects.

Travis

Looking to move: Grant Green Domonic Brown Justin Morneau Alfredo Simon - 32 starts, 3.44 era Gavin Floyd - 9 starts 2.65 era Jerry Blevins - 4.87 era LOOGY Wesley Wright - 3.17 era Stolmy Pimentel Looking for good young ss and 2b or high prospects and picks.

Y.O.C.

The Draft order has been slightly updated to reflect the *actual* win totals of SEW and MGG.

Andrew Cashner and Anibal Sanchez got the nod in the CL play-in game. Sanchez retired NMO in order in the first, but then the Mosstroopers pecked away, collecting 7 hits in innings 2-4. Morales in the second and Dirks in the fourth each provided RBI hits, and it could have been a lot worse, with three r...

Y.O.C.

All - I have posted the offseason stuff - the updated Money Balances (not including playoff shares, obviously), a new trade list, and the draft order. Since SFE is in the Draft Lottery, I have asked Eric to do the random first-5-picks-for-the-first-round lottery. Rest assured that he is rooting h...
