2054-55 Off-Season Thread

[NML]

Most of us are already thinking about next season. Time for the thread.

Who you selling? Whatchu need?

 

[NML]

I need all kinds of relief pitching.

I'd be willing to move Keifer "Dr Jeckyl" Schmitt

[Wolfman21]

Anier murta, Raul chavez, mark woertgen...offer up for em

 

[Mr. Radpants]

It's past the trade deadline

 

[Wolfman21]

I'll wait for you to realize what thread you're in...

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I'll wait for you to recall a top five trade deadline shtick on this site for years.

 

[Wolfman21]

I'll wait for you to recall that only counts during an in season thread

 

[Yankee151]

This format sucks, where is doh's

 

[bruin228]

Does everyone think No Hands is ready to be brought up next year?

 

[Yankee151]

Doesn't sound ready to me, he's missing two very important things needed to play baseball.

 

[bruin228]

Jim Abbott played in the 1990s, it's only logical that baseball would be ready for a handless pitcher in the 2050s.

 

[osick87]

If his control is still 45 at the beginning maybe give him some more time in AAA.

If you need a bullpen arm, I would just use him unless you see someone at a great value.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

@doh and I will collaborate on the Winter Meetings thread. We can't all meet up in a city until the season is over.

 

[Bdub]

I need young pitchers

 

[doh]

IF anyone needs SP... willing to deal Zach Campbell on the cheap and Francisco Colon for a decent haul back.

RPs Ed Snyder and Anthony Moore are both avail and very cheap salary wise. Wouldn't want a ton back for both.

2B Enrique Gomez is the price is right. Same with Keivit.

Also -- if you need to dump salary, I have about $90m in space left.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

SILENCE HAVE NOTS

We HAVES can't split our attention between the playoffs and this and we're going to want to HAVE more after we get beat by guys that HAVE slightly less.

I can't believe no appreciated this reference to one of the five baseball players I know.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I appreciated it. I added a Like.

They've had artificial hands since Star Wars so I'm not sure why he couldn't be pitching on the verge of Spacetopia

 

[Orlando]

Why didn't Jim Abbot have an artificial hand?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Low Work Ethic maybe

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Someone take Leon from me. He's giving Buffalo cancer.

Take pinto back

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Come and get 'em:

• Pedro "Rat" Ramirez SP (on a cheap contract)
• Ti-an Mah (very affordable contract)
• Steve Segrave (this guy is super cheap)
• Tien Thu (power is still there baby)
• Adro "Worm" Piteira (he keeps begging me to trade him so help set him free)

No reasonable offer refused.

 

[doh]

You're already trying to trade Mah?

Have a pretty good offer for Enrique Gomez. Will wait to make it official until after playoffs but ready to deal him.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Someone take Leon from me. He's giving Buffalo cancer.

Just three more years on that deal, Lloyd

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

You're already trying to trade Mah?

Too many guys whining for trades. Time to let these hos know that the dog (me) wags the tail (them), not the other way around.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

@Travis7401 save me from making a deal with the devil (@doh) and trade me Brett

 

[Wolfman21]

Fuck mason brett. Hes taken Lieh Chen's place on the top of my "most hated motherfucker" list

 

[Yankee151]

At least a 5.6 on the Richter

[TonyGin&Juice]

Wow, two people want Blanks. Anyone else want to get in on this?

 

[doh]

Want Enrique 6 WAR Gomez in a blanks deal?

 

[Wolfman21]

I offered him a near 6 war player, a 4+☆ prospect and an elite pitcher and he said no thanks.

Humphries isn't even close to Seagraves and he's the set-up guy on a last place team.

 

[Wolfman21]

Lawd

 

[Orlando]

Elite pitcher

 

[Wolfman21]

I was just dohing

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Want Enrique 4.2 WAR Gomez in a blanks deal?

FIFY

But stop it. My offer the best offer. Gomez is already 26 (tail end of his career!!!!) and 2 years away from needing to be extended at max money (cue Orlando with "you waited too long").

The way this league values guys you'll be lucky to get anything better than what I offered. Unless you're banking on Yankee or Tony having an aneurism and giving you multiple first rounders and 5 starz prospects. Come to think of it though, that scenario is going off at 2:1 odds

I learned my lesson of trading with Doh under the influence of painkillers on that Mah trade. The only way I'd move blanks is for multiple firsts and two top prospects.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

HOW MANY PLOEGS

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

How about you send me that guy you've got wasting in your international complex...

 

[Mr. Radpants]

How about you send me that guy you've got wasting in your international complex...

Straight up? Post it.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Straight up? Post it.

For Blanks? You must be out of your gotdamn mind.

 

[doh]

I'm going to have erratic internet while on vacation until March... if you wanna fleece me today is the day to do so. We can agree to trade and you can post it up once the off-season starts.

Again want picks/prospects. Trading everyone on the roster.

Will also take back salary if it's a contract that has a maximum of 2 (maybe 3) years left.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

For Blanks? You must be out of your gotdamn mind.

You're the one that said it, shout at a mirror.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

If you wanna move him hit me up. Blanks isn't going anywhere unless it's a haul boss.

 

[Travis7401]

I don't have all that much available, but I am shopping PEDRO CHAVEZ for those of you in need of a starting 2B on a budget salary of $1.8M for next season. I platoon my middle infield, so he only played in 96 games but he earned 2.2 WARS in that time with a +4.2 ZR in the field and a batting line of .305/.356/.426, which is pretty damn absurd for a RHB in the Dyson Sphere. He's a quality player on a cheap salary so no fuckshit "I'll give you a 4th" type offers plz.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I'll give you a fifth.

Dude needs a cutoff man to get the ball to first.

 

[Travis7401]

His arm does make it necessary to play with my infield shifted so that he can granny toss it to 1B, but his defensive efficiency last year was really nice! Good thing the RANGY DOUGLASS TAGG was there to play SS and 2B range an hoover everything up.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

He's a quality player on a cheap salary so no fuckshit "I'll give you a 4th" type offers plz.

Desire for Winner: Very High

I'll give you a third in 2059.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Stop trading, dummies. The season isn't over and this thread is crap compared to the Winter Meetings thread.
