Deadline-beating deals for San Jose
(Preview)
Waking up in a daze to realize it was the last day of the trading period, SJ's notoriously incompetant GM managed to pull off two buzzer-beaters: (1) SJ sends its #2 and #4 picks to SUR for Marco Scutaro (2) SJ sends Eduardo Rodriguez, Mitch Haniger, and Jon Pettibone to SHI for Grant Balfour and Ronn...

CLCS G3-5, SHI@NMO
(Preview)
After splitting at Shiner, the teams travelled to New Monmouth for the next 3 games. In case you've somehow forgotten, NMO lost 2B Neil Walker for the series in G2, which will make things more challenging for them going forward. G3: Blackley vs. Fister. Really? Shiner is starting Travis Black...

Sewell Trade Pieces
(Preview)
Sewell has a good right fielder in Hunter Pence (B5), an ace pitcher in Hisashi Iwakuma (B2) and a solid starter in John Lackey (B1) who might be of interest to contenders. I am happy to keep all of them, but feel free to make an offer if interested. Sewell is looking for people who are likely to be good...

Austin players available
(Preview)
A little late, but here are some guys with innings and at bats that could be had relatively cheap. Phil Hughes - traded to Minnesota; 29 starts, still young and now out of the NYA bandbox Jeff Francis - yeah I know, looks horrible at first glance; still in Colorado; unlimited starter; BUT, check out his s...

Cole Hamels?
(Preview)
Those who missed out on the Greinke Sweepstakes should consider Cole Hamels as a consolation prize. Despite another good season (33 GS, 3.60 ERA), a trade would bring his contract down to a B8. He's only 29 and this was actually his worst season since 2009. He has a 3.38 career ERA and has remain...

Greinke is a Zombie!
(Preview)
Surprise further bolstered their rotation by adding Zack Greinke to the front of it. However, they had to part with several of their prize prospects, so he had better deliver! As for the details, SUR trades Luis Heredia, Mike Olt, and Henry Owens to BAL for Greinke and the BAL#2 So, Greinke's not real...

Surprise: Updated Shopping List
(Preview)
Hey, the 1st trading period isn't over until the end of the month, so I might as well try to keep this going. I've filled the big holes now, but there are still a few opportunities for improvement, if you want to help out. 1) Big Bat - I can shift my current DH combo to RF, so position doesn't really matter....
