[IBL] MNM Trade Flyer

[genny]

Hi all - Hope all is well.  Paul and I have been pelted with negative phone
calls, social media invective, and one denial-of-service attack for our
failure to send out a trade flyer.  Given we have few fans, we suspect the
"why don't you guys do anything" campaign is being orchestrated by either
one disaffected Millers follower or a bored North Korean.

In hopes of calming the storm:

Available (besides the usual, "everyone for the 'right' price"):

Moreland TEX, for those in need of a 1B for the future.   Having a great
year.

Hicks MIN, for those in need of a CF for the future.  Is an exceptional
defender, and his bat is coming around.  We hope he is a top prospect now
hitting his stride.

Barnhart for those in need of a catcher for the future.  24yo switch-hitter
with defensive reputation who seems ahead of schedule given opportunity
(due to Mezoraco's injury) and performance in MLB this year.

Cowgill LAA, for contenders this year looking for good corner OF defender,
good baserunner/pr, and adequate card vL - a piece of the puzzle type

Weeks MIL for contenders this year looking for DH/PH with good card vR and
vL, also a piece of the puzzle type

Bonifacio ATL for contenders this year particularly for whom his card vL,
speed, solid OF defense, and positional flexibility is a strong fit

Oberholtzer for owners playing for future, as he's still young and has
ability (but not consistency yet)

Erlin for owners playing for future, although he's been in minors all year


Trading backdrop:

Other than Oberholtzer and to a lesser extent Erlin, the above are not
offered due to fear that we cannot get them usage.  Moreland and Hicks will
require attentive management to get usage (or Moreland's dur/injury prone
nature needs to come to fruition), but they are having seasons that justify
doing so, and Moreland is OK vR and Hicks walks/OBP make him OK vL.
Barnhart is easy usage.

Cowgill, Weeks, and Bonifacio are really useful cards for us to try to
contend, and given the years they've had so far (injured, released
outright, and very bad respectively), we can get them usage or not, or play
them to 150%, and won't sweat it.

What we would be looking for:

For players most attractive to contenders:  most likely draft picks or
player with future value, or swap of this year puzzle pieces

For players most attractive for future value:  most likely draft picks,
player with future value (especially at LF, possibly 3B or middle infield),
or exceptional present value.

Finally, on the margins we have some need for a playoff eligible 2b who is
a strong defender (offense and future value nice but of lesser import)

The most likely scenario is that we stand pat.  But please don't let word
of that spread to North Korea.

Thanks all.

- David and Paul (MNM)
