Deadwood Update: Wow! That Escalated Quickly
(Preview)
I'm sure that all of you have been anxiously awaiting the inevitable post-auction post from Deadwood, so I'd better get that done now. Well, the Desperados managed to add the 5th and 7th players on yesterday's FA list. After that, they bid on a bunch of players and ended up with exactly none of them. Eve...

All, Following up on my earlier email as some prefer to check the boards. Looking to move Judge and possibly others for young players and top prospects. I will start to evaluate the offers tomorrow.

Maybe you can have too many unlimited OF
(Preview)
Austin got a little carried away, adding 10 players to bring them up to a mighty 26. In particular, they overcompensated by adding 3 unlimited OF, plus Garcia. Raley is their 1B at this point but they could deal Aristedes Aquino (fun power and -5 arm) and/or Magneurius Sierra (good CF D, great speed and...

Washington Availabiles
(Preview)
We went a little too heavy on auction bidding as always, and are sitting at 37 Major League players. I would rather not just outright release guys, though I will if needed. So, consider the following available. Washington is not going to be good, so looking to trade some mid-career guys who won't be...

Gary Is Also a Grizzly!
(Preview)
Austin clears up another position logjam by selling Gary Sanchez to Slough Creek for $200K in high-risk tech stock. Best of luck, Gary. We hardly knew you! Yikes, we're down to 8 batters and 8 pitchers now. These complicated tax dodges are quite a wild ride!

Votto is a Grizzly!
(Preview)
Alas, some reunions just aren't meant to be. Deadwood accepts the harsh but fair nostalgia penalty, selling Joey Votto to Slough Creek for $150K in shattered dreams. Happy trails, Joey!

Joey Votto
(Preview)
It pains me to say this as I was very excited about the reunion, but Deadwood has too many 1B/DH types and Votto is unlikely to get much playing time over the others. Therefore, he's available for those who don't want to pay for those exorbitant Travis prices. I paid $190K for Votto in the C auction and am f...

Josh Bell
(Preview)
Josh Bell is extra for Camden at this point and could be traded for the right combination of high draft picks, top prospects, comparable pitchers, and/or cash. I dont have to trade him but am willing to move him in the right deal since he doesnt really have a spot in the Camden lineup.

Bye bye Gamel!
(Preview)
Brooklyn ships Ben Camel off to his original C suitors, Harmony Grove, for their original bid of $230K. I weep for the lost sweet sweet profits this cost me.

Who Needs a Catcher?
(Preview)
Austin's big deal to acquire a long-term solution at catcher (and also Josh Hader) did make their C auction moves look even worse. It was already rather dubious that with all the big departures, their only 2 acquisitions were 2 veteran catchers. Now it's even worse because they don't need those guys a...

Brooklyn is back open for business
(Preview)
So I've plugged my 3B hole, but suddenly I need a backup catcher and I went too hard on lefty outfielders. So! Here's what I'm looking for: Catcher who can hit LHP Shortstop who can hit DH types. Shutdown lefty reliever I'm pushing all my chips in, so any prospect is available as are picks and cash. Cards...
