<html><head></head><body><div class="yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Having moved Sale, I am looking at shopping a few more players. A few (Floro, Williams, and Siani) are this year only players and the others (Martinez and Adames) have future value and so would be priced accordingly, but could be moved for reasons of fit.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">CIN Martinez (100/100/142 vLHP, 96/96/145 vRHP, durable):</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">After a slow start, (845 OPS against in April) he is much improved (585 in May, 3.22 FIP overall, 1.145 whip overall) and so I could keep him for next year. But I am still loaded for SP next year so I could move him in a deal that makes me better. He doesn't have that much tread wear and he gets better in the second halves of seasons so he would be priced accordingly. I was in talks that fell through for a #2 and he has gotten better since.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">WAS Williams (75/104/88 vL, 77/97/92 vR):</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> An even better card than Martinez (or Sale) but an injury risk and fatigue/usage limitations so priced accordingly. (That is, cheaper than Martinez or Sale but I'm not giving him away.) Still, he would be super easy to stash for the playoffs/big series and would make your top 3 in the playoffs (where usage is not an issue) that much better. Not much future value.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">ARI Floro: </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Servicible RHRP, probably better than your back end RP for games that aren't out of hand but also not that close. Priced accordingly, which is to say later round pick or (preferably) trade up of later picks, or as a throw-in with one of my other guys.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">TB Adames: </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Power hitting SS (vg from both sides) with good baserunning/steals, durable, and defense that won't kill you A career poor hitter in April and much better in the second halves, I fully expect for him to continue the turnaround of his slow start in SF. Price would be high, but this is a top-shelf SS we are talking about. So why am I even talking about him? I drafted OAK Wilson and so am jammed at SS. I could keep both and play one at dh/ride the platoons but if I can get better somewhere else I would entertain offers. Top SS don't often come on the market. I will *not* trade him for a package of lower quality players/picks.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">STL Siani:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Poor hitting but amazing defense in CF, really good BR/steals, and good bunting. Not a starter but a great bench piece. Again, looking at mid-late pick, (preferably) pick-improvement swap, or included as a throw-in in another deal.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">What I am looking for. Picks and/or, especially for Adames, comparably good players that will help me next year. I will not do one-for-many deals for packages of lower quality picks/players.</div></div></body></html>
