Believe it or not, only 3 teams have made trades with Surprise so far this offseason. That must leave many of you desperately hoping to trade with Surprise, but perhaps you're just not sure how and are afraid to ask. Never fear, I'm here to help!
Updated Zombie Wish List:
Cash! - I'll put this first as we not only need more of it, salary will be a key consideration in any trade.
LH Relief - We have 3 elite RH relievers now, but are light from the left side.
Catcher - Upgrade over decent (and cheap) Chirinos or a good bench option
OF - Upgrade over decent and cheap C. Gonzalez or a good bench option
DH - Upgrade over decent and cheap A. Cabrera or a good bench option (sensing a theme yet?)
IF - A good LH bat would be helpful to mix in at 3B and 2B
What's available:
Chirinos/Gonzalez/Cabrera in an upgrade scenario
Dustin Fowler (OAK-OF) - Struggled as a rookie, but has all the tools to be a quality CF
Nelson Cruz (SEA-DH/RF) - Certified big bat crushed 37 more HR, but I just can't afford him.
Brandon Guyer (CLE-OF) - Useful and cheap as platoon as LHP
Alcides Escobar (KC-IF/OF) - Should still be good with the glove!
Brent Suter (MIL-LHP) - Pretty good for 18 GS, but had TJ surgery
Andrew Miller (CLE-LHP) - Expected to hit C auction after frustrating season, but you could try to change my mind.
Jacob Barnes (MIL-RHP) - Decent and cheap RH reliever, but not up to my high standards
Andrew Chafin (ARZ-LHP) - The LH version of Barnes
Nate Jones (CHW-RHP) - Injury limited him to 30 IP, but he had a 3 ERA and saved some games
Luis Garcia (PHI-RHP) - Alternates good and bad years, so you know what comes next!
Picks - #1 is gone, but we still have the rest
Prospects - I get emotionally attached, but have been known to trade or even sell them given sufficient temptation.
Okay, that should give you enough to work with now. Bring on those fabulous offers! If you don't , I'll just keep posting like this...
Is it Marwin Gonzalez? I love his versatility and I always like to aquire him in my leagues. Look over phillipsburg and let me know your ideas. I have C McCann swihart mesoraco and several top notch prospects. Devers 3b is trade able since I have andujar. L m k Eric new owner phillipsburg
