Below is a list of my roster and the trade offer we are close to finalizing, what do you all think?


Ramon Hernandez (Cin - C)
Aubrey Huff (Bal - 1B, 3B)
Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B)
Kelly Johnson (Atl - 2B)
Edwin Encarnacion (Cin - 3B)
Rafael Furcal (LAD - SS)
Derek Jeter (NYY - SS)
Ryan Braun (Mil - OF)
Torii hunter (LAA - OF)
Delmon Young (Min - OF)
Brandon Inge (Det - C, 3B, OF)
B.J. Upton (TB – OF)
Ichiro Suzuki (Sea – OF)

Pitching
Justin Verlander (Det – SP)
Mark Buehrle (CWS – SP)
Brett Myers (Phi – SP)
Kevin Slowey (Min – SP)
Jamie Moyer (Phi – SP)
Ervin Santana (LAA – SP)
George Sherill (Bal – RP)
Troy Percival (TB – RP)
Joe Nathan (Min – RP)

The trade
I receive
Alexei Ramirez (CWS – 2B, SS, OF)
Matt Holliday (Oak – OF)
Joakim Soria (KC – RP)

I give up
Derek Jeter (NYY – SS)
B.J. Upton (TB – OF)
Ervin Santana (LAA – SP)

Ramirez > Jeter
Soria > Santana (plus he's still an injury risk)
Holliday = Upton (I like Upton but would like to see him healthy, will be interesting to see how Holliday hits away from Colorado)

Overall - I like the trade. Your SP's are your one weak spot as Verlander was shaky last year and his first start was more of the same. I like Slowey but feel the other SP's all could blow up.

I don't care who's on your roster. You're anally raping the other guy on this trade. Do it as quickly as you possibly can.

Im really hoping that you arent being sarcastic......

Well he backed out last minute, saying he couldnt afford to lose Soria..... I countered offering

Derek Jeter (NYY – SS)
B.J. Upton (TB – OF)
Ervin Santana (LAA – SP)
Delmon young

For his
Alexei Ramirez (CWS – 2B, SS, OF)
Matt Holliday (Oak – OF)
Chris Carpenter
Pat Burrell

Yeah - that's a good trade for you also

ok, ill let you guys know the final trade details.

heh no, I wasn't being sarcastic. That was truly one of the worst ****ing's I've ever seen in a trade. I would have offered you very hearty congratulations if you could have pulled it off.

Your other offer is still good for you, so good luck.
