SUR/AUS Trade
(Preview)
Okay, this is a somewhat bigger deal than those SCH ones at least. Surprise acquires occasional slugger Jonny Gomes and $150K from Austin in exchange for Ross Detwiler and Andruw Jones. This one could look really bad for me soon, but I've got to take some chances for the Zombies to contend with some of...

SCH/AUS - Even Bigger Blockbuster!
(Preview)
This time, Schaumburg sells their big Hawaiian, Kila Ka'ahuie to Austin for $60K. Hey, we're down to 60 players! However, I still wouldn't be averse to unloading Den Dekker, Beimel, or Janssen if anyone's interested.

BTM/BRK Trade

Players for sale: Braddock, French and Erstad
(Preview)
Looks like Sewell owns 62 players now, so Zach Braddock (BA MIN #7, 62 K in 41 IP in minors last year) and Lucas French (12 starts in majors, 72/20 K/BB at AAA), the last two players I got in the IOD, are for sale to the highest bidder. If anyone needs an unlimited 1B/OF SPR will sell Darrin Erstad for 20K.

SKM/BRK Trade
(Preview)
Stockholm sends Carlos Quentin and Brandon Moss to Brooklyn in exchange for Manny Ramirez, who I am completely certain will settle down and be a positive and stabilizing clubhouse influence.

Player Spelling
(Preview)
in order to possibly, just possibly, cut down on 4 separate people trying to draft him next year, WAL drafted Jhan Marinez, not Martinez in round 4. <sigh> not that it is going to matter.....

Rule clarification on roster sizes
(Preview)
Our rules state that roster size is 60 max. During the off-season you may carry as many major leaguers as you want, but must cut back prior to waiver draft. Are we allowed to exceed the 60 player limit during the off-season? For example, 32 major leagues and 31 minor leaguers at the same time.

Schaumburg has some extra players also
(Preview)
SCH already had too many infielders, so naturally they drafted another one. Oh well, at least Rosales can play 3B decently. The most expendable major leaguers are: 1) Kevin Millar (311 Adj. PA, 1b/3b, decent vs. LHP) 2) Alexi Casilla (282 APA, 2b/ss, still young and decent fielding) 3) Joe Beimel...

Need Pitching? Come and get some!
(Preview)
Some say that one can never have too much pitching, but the Surprise Zombies beg to differ. In fact, they really should move 3 pitchers off their bloated roster. If you still need pitching at this point, the waiver draft won't help much, so perhaps you'll consider the following: 1) Ross Detwiler -...
