In the spirit of the just completed trade deadline deals in MLB, here is what Ft Worth and Houston are looking at making available this off season. Both teams have interesting players available.
Ft Worth
Roy Hallady coming of a A1 3x3. Will probably keep his A. Ryan Howard coming of a A1 4x4. Will also probably keep his A. Ted Lilly 2010 contract b9 (360). Trade to LAD makes him more attractive I think. JD Drew 2010 contract b11. Probably better suited to C auction. Curtis Granderson 2010 contract b5. Also probably better suited to C auction. Jose Bautista can be had for the right deal. I don't feel compelled to trade him, but for the right offer will do so.
Needs: outfield, 1b, 2b, 3b, starting pitching
I don't need a lot of draft picks. I will have pretty good picks myself and won't be drafting a ton of players. I am looking more for younger carded players with potential.
Houston
Aubrey Huff coming off A5 2x2. Don't think he'll keep his A in spite of a great year. Previous seasons probably didn't earn enough points. Will be available in c auction. David Dejesus. Season ending injury hurt value I know, but still a good outfield card. 2010 contract b6. Some interesting relief cards also.
Needs: OF, 1b, 3b
Houston will have premium picks again. Would prefer young carded players, but will consider picks and minor leaguers.
