<div dir="ltr">A quick update - I've received a couple of intriguing offers for pick 1-7. It seems silly to not at least listen to offers, so if anyone is interested, offer away. There's still a very slim chance that I deal the pick though.<div><br></div><div>-Brent</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 7:48 PM, Brent Cunningham <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gettysburg.generals@gmail.com" target="_blank">gettysburg.generals@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Looking toward the 2016 season, GTY has a solid team, but one that isn't without holes to fill to be a serious playoff contender. Here's a quick summary by position, along with trade possibilities at each:<div><br></div><div><b>Catcher -</b> I have only BAL Wieters on the roster, and he isn't a 162 game starter, so I'll be looking for depth through trades. Obviously a great hitting card would be nice, but if a mediocre hitter is available that has a great arm rating, I'd be interested.</div><div><br></div><div><b>First Base -</b> BAL Davis is the starter for me, but depending on his RF range, I might play him there instead; he's full-time eligible there too. With HOU Singleton and SEA Montero as back-ups, I'd need to trade for a good 1B if I am going to play Davis in RF. I'd be willing to trade Singleton (24 years old) or Montero (25 years old) if someone is looking for young players that have the talent to develop into valuable guys.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Second Base -</b> I'm in pretty good shape here, with COL LeMahieu (King of the Singles!) and WAS Espinosa. I'd consider dealing Espinosa, but then I'd need to find a back-up other than KC Colon (who I could also deal). Espinosa has some versatility in that he can play (on a limited basis) at 1B, LF, SS, and 3B also. Looking to the future, I have TEX Profar that I'm hoping will come back strong (hitting well as a DH in the AFL so far).</div><div><br></div><div><b>Shortstop -</b> TEX Andrus is currently my starter; he finished a little below his career norms except in the slugging category, with his career best HR output. I'd consider dealing for a playoff eligible shortstop that can hit righties better than Andrus, but considering the PA's I have to get Andrus, the other guy would have to be lower PA's or a 1 year card that I wouldn't keep. I'd also consider dealing Andrus in a package for a shot at one of the several SS's in the draft. At the very least, I'd like to acquire another backup.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Third Base -</b> My lone guy here is TB Longoria. Had a couple mediocre months in MLB this year, but still had a very nice year overall. He's much better vL than vR in IBL next year, so I'd like to find a guy that can play some vR for me too. Espinosa serves as the backup here too.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Outfield -</b> Not quite as spectacular as last year, but CLE Brantley is still a top LF, and he's eligible in CF for IBL too in 2016. I might need him to do exactly that, as TB Jennings spent a lot of time hurt in MLB. I'd definitely consider dealing for a good CF. In RF, I have a platoon of MIN Hunter, SF deAza, and CHA Shuck; deAza and Shuck will both serve as backups at the other positions also. I'd like to possibly pick up another versatile outfielder with good range, and wouldn't mind a better RF option also.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Starting Pitching -</b> Barring a trade, my top 3 are set with CHN Lester, KC Cueto, and WAS Zimmermann. LAA Wilson should have an improved card and will serve as the #4 guy, but is an injury risk. KC Young is currently my #5 guy. Ideally, I'd like to pitch Young in bigger parks and have a better #4 and #5 guy on tap for the inevitable Wilson injury and to cover for Young's lower BF availability. LAA Skaggs is UC16 and available if someone wants him. He performed well before getting hurt, so I'm looking for a good recovery when he comes back.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Relief Pitching -</b> I need some depth here, and could use another really good card or two. I have LAN Jansen, MIL Jeffress, PIT Gomez, LAN Howell, and CLE Shaw currently. I definitely need another lefty or two.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Draft Picks -</b> Like everyone else, I'd like to acquire another #1 draft pick, or an early #2. I'm willing to trade pretty much anyone, but likely wouldn't deal BAL Davis, COL LeMahieu, or CLE Brantley unless I'm getting a great return. I'm not likely to trade my #1, but it's a possibility if I get a star type player at a position of need (CF, RF, SS, C). I also have the following picks - 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9, 10. The 9th and 10th rounders are available if anyone is going deep in the draft and needs them.</div><div><br></div><div>Email me or catch me on irc if you have any ideas for trades.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-Brent</div></font></span></div>
