[IBL] GTY Early Season Trade Flier

[Brent Cunningham]

With a weak offense and shallow bullpen, I think there are too many holes
for me to fill this year to justify spending a bunch of draft picks to have
a chance to compete to go deep in the playoffs.  That said, I have some
very good cards that could help contenders.  I'm willing to discuss anyone
on my roster; I figure if I'm going to rebuild I may as well make everyone
available.  I'm looking for early round draft picks in next year's draft
and young prospects.  I will give preference to #1 pick offers even if I
have to combine a guy with one of my picks or a couple guys (within
reason).  If you think we match up, *make an offer*.

*Pitching*

*CIN Cueto-WAS Zimmermann-OAK Lester* - I'd likely only trade 1 of the 3.
Start with a #1 pick in your offer, because it'll take at least that.

*LAA Skaggs* - Recovering from TJ surgery, but has a pretty nice card.  I'm
content to wait it out on his recovery, but if you need a decent lefty SP,
he's available.

*LAA Wilson* - Decent card, a little vulnerable vR, but in a bigger park
could be very useful since that would neutralize the DF factor.

Bullpen - Pretty much anyone is available.  CLE Shaw, LAN Jansen, LAN
Howell should be of particular interest to deepen your pen, CLE Hagadone
and SD Torres are OK, and the others are prospect-y types.


*Hitting*

C - Not much to see here.  I likely won't deal Wieters as I think he'll
come back fine.  Ross and Nieves could be dealt if you need a backup.

1B* (BAL Davis, MIN Mauer, HOU Singleton)* - Any of them could be dealt.
Mauer has a nice OBP card with decent extra base hit power vR, and runs at
a 5, with 9/E defense.  Davis is his power and high K self, with 9/D
defense.  Singleton is a prospect in the mold of Davis.

2B *(PHI Utley, CLE Aviles, KC Colon)* - Utley has a really nice card,
especially against righties, and has 7/D- defense and 3/10/0 run/steal/jump
also, 8 durability.  Aviles makes a great utility man with good defense and
4/9/2 run/steal/jump.  Colon is a prospect with a zoid card (seriously,
like 75 xbh vL and 96 vR, along with 4/F defense), not a ton of PA's, but
could make a huge difference against division rivals.

SS *(TEX Andrus, CLE Aviles)* - Andrus is very good vL and decent vR, with
5/8/3 run/steal/jump.  I fully expect him to bounce back in MLB, and he
plays a premium position.

3B *(TB Longoria)* - He'd be a tough trade as he's my only "real" 3B, but
I'd consider it at least.  Vg/Vg power.

LF *(CLE Brantley)* - Great card, and he's only 27.  Great slash lines,
3/13/1 run/steal/jump, durable.  It'd take *a lot* to get him, but I'll
listen.

CF *(TB Jennings)* - Very nice card, with good OBP, decent xbh power, and
5/9/1 run/steal/jump.  He's my only "real" CF, so I'd have a tough time
dealing him; looks early on like he might be eligible in CF and LF next
year if this pace keeps up.

RF *(DET Hunter, COL Cuddyer, OAK Gentry)* - Yeah, Hunter is old.  He also
has a great card, runs well, and has Vg/Vg power.  COL Cuddyer is a zoid vL
and great vR too, Ex/Ex power.  Gentry is a decent OBP guy with great
base-stealing ability, Vg bunting, and an E range in RF.  Nice late game
pr/defense guy.
