....almost all of the Major Leaguers into the season.
Just think Tom, this may be the first year in Bali team history in which I don't have monumental fines for over-usage.
If (UNCITRAL) United Nations Commission on International Trade Law's, ARBA division, feels that we must indeed follow the US rules for the league than Bali will have to move (or cast into the sea from our refugee boat, stuck somewhere in the waters between Australia and Indonesia) 5 players.
If both J. Mejia and M. Kickham are little A players (Please double check me on this, Tom/Eric), then at least 3 of the 5 players will need to be Major Leaguers.
RP- So, if you are looking for relief pitching, I'll put these names out there:
C. Stammen - 81 unadjusted IP, good overall numbers, better vs. R
J. McGee- 62 unadjusted IP, mediocre overall numbers, overall mediocrity, still has some upside.
I'll even say Mark Melancon is available, but you better be willing to take 4 scrub players (of my choosing) in the deal and still give me a high draft pick.
Oh, and you can have Brad Lincoln just for giving me a nice compliment on this message board.
SP- I should probably move either Hanson or Rienzo, but that would be hard.
Moving Chad Bettis, to anyone who believes will be easy. Only 8 starts, but young and cheap.
As for position players, I've got:
Tim Federowicz and his 173 unadjusted plate appearances while playing good D at Catcher (Which I'm told means nothing by Travis)- CASH will work just fine.
For IF utility players I've got:
Dee Gordon;
Logan Forsythe; 243tpa, 2b, 3b, SS, LF, RF
Steve Lombardozzi; 307tpa, 2b, 3b, LF
and, Josh Rutledge.
I don't want to trade any of them, as I think their best years are in the near future, but if you need a UT feel free to make an offer. Understand I will try to pile on one of my minor league guys that I've carried for too long anyway into the deal. Phillipe Aumont anyone?
Once I move three guys, assuming I'm correct about the little A players on my roster, then a few of y'all older-scrub minor leaguers should start looking for life jackets (I'm looking at you Rowland-Smith).
