Surprise did manage to add some new players before and after the auction, technically meeting their needs, but there's plenty of room left for improvement. That's where you come in! I'm sure that you would love nothing more than to send me some better players to improve the Zombies' chances in the playoffs. Tell me more, you say?
Surprise is seeking pitching upgrades in the starting rotation and bullpen. They could also do better than some of their current options in RF/CF, 2B/3B, DH, and C. The lineup vs. LHP is particularly lacking in impact bats.
In return, Surprise can offer most of our newest acquisitions, and more!
Batters - Alberto Callaspo, Andruw Jones, Jeff Larish, Justin Maxwell, Corky Miller (UL), Omar Quintanilla (UL), Matt Stairs (UL), Marcus Thames, and Wil Venable.
Pitchers - DJ Carrasco, Ross Detwiler, Pat Misch, Jon Niese, Jamie Shields, and Kip Wells.
Draft Picks - Have our own 1-7 and Sew #3
Prospects - Nick Barnese, Jerry Blevins, Fautino De los Santos, Justin Jackson, Daryl Jones, Jake McGee, Max Ramirez, Neil Ramirez, Henry Rodriguez, Cole Rohrbough, Wilin Rosario, Henry Sosa, Chorye Spoone, Angel Villalona, and Joe Wieland.
Cash - If I must.
I obviously can't afford to part with the regulars and near-regulars listed above unless a quality replacement is coming our way. I expect that the most likely scenario would involve me paying for a position upgrade with picks and/or prospects.
Let me know if you want to make a deal based on any of this mess!
