If interested, put your email address below.
Any questions as well.

It is simply a friendly league created by a reader, me, and extended to the faketeams.com community as available. This is our second year.

I have noticed the previous diary wasn't available for new comments to post an email.

I have sent out invites to returning managers already, and they have had plenty of time to sign up.

Post emails if you are interested and haven't already recieved an email invite from me.

THE Offseason solution

omshagome — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 06:59:08 -0000

1. Trade Scott Rolen to the Dodgers for Juan Pierre

Pierre's contract:
08:$8M, 09:$10M, 10:$10M, 11:$8.5M

Rolen's contract:
08:$12M, 09:$12M, 10:$12M

Work out the financials. The Dodgers are looking for a 3b and STL needs a leadoff hitter. Pierre would be fast and a great leadoff "whiteyball" type player.

Pierre's last 5 years in steals and batting average with hits:
07- 64, .293, 196
06- 58, .292, 204
05- 57, .276, 181
04- 45, .326, 221
03- 65, .305, 204

2. Trade Jim Edmonds and Anthony Reyes to the Texas Rangers for Kevin Millwood and Hank Blalock

Millwood's contract:
08:$8.5M, 09:$11M, 10:$12M

Blalock's contract:
08:$5.95M, 09:$6.2M club option

Edmonds' contract:
08:$8M

Reyes: league minimum til 2010

Texas has expressed interest in Edmonds and would like to get Millwood's salary off their hands. Which is what the Cardinals need. Millwood could come back to the NL where he has been sucessful. An innings eater, and a good veteran presence in the rotation.

Rids team of Reyes and gains an everyday third baseman.

3. Play Brian Barton everyday in right field.

This is a 5 tool player that needs to stay in Cardinal red. His BballRef comparables include Carlos Beltran, and some say he is in the same mold as Chris Young. Ankiel just wont cut it in my book as a starter.

4. Resign Jeff Weaver.

Bring back Dream Weaver. Plain and simple. Get it done.

This would leave the following 08 lineup and Rotation:

cf- Juan Pierre
rf- Brian Barton
1b- Albert Pujols
3b- Hank Blalock
lf- Chris Duncan
c- Yadier Molina
2b- Adam Kennedy
ss- Cesar Izturis
p- Pitchers spot

Adam Wainwright
Kevin Millwood
Braden Looper
Jeff Weaver
Joel Pineiro

Carpenter comes back midseason and everyone shifts down 1. Looper goes back to the bullpen.

Chris Carpenter
Adam Wainwright
Kevin Millwood
Jeff Weaver
Joel Pineiro

Gonzalez for LaRoche

omshagome — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 22:32:38 -0000

Ok, this thing has been boiling for weeks now, and ESPN says its official..one thing i can't understand is why Pittsburgh is doing this.

LaRoche is great and all, but isn't he now blocking Brad Eldred to ever making the big leagues?

Gonzalez could've gotten the Pirates way more than just LaRoche from numerous teams that were interested. That's why these talks went on forever, but it looks like the Pirates are willing to settle on LaRoche.

Does anyone other than me think that Atlanta totally won this deal because of how valuable relief help is now a days especially since Gonzalez is a young lefty. There are plenty of slugging first basemen out there.

Poll

Who won this deal?

Pittsburgh by a lot, Gonzalez is injury prone and has bad breath

1 votes

Atlanta by a lot, Gonzalez fills their closer need

3 votes

Atlanta by a little, LaRoche will be tough to replace

2 votes

Neither, basically a swap of young talent

2 votes

Pittsburgh by a little, LaRoche finally gives them a big bat to protect Jason Bay
