[IBL] NJR Trade Flyer

[Mike Monostra]

While we are only two games back of a playoff spot entering week 6 and not
quite as bad as I anticipated, NJR's 2021 prospects don't look good. Rather
than do a full rebuild, however, we're looking to fill a few holes to try
and build a contender ahead of 2022.

*Batters that may help a playoff contender:*

*ATL Markakis*

138/168/200 vs. LHP

117/141/196 vs. RHP

Full-time in RF 9/F/+1

A decent card for a contender in need of a RF. Retired in March, so no
future value here.


*DET CastroH. *

200/243/240 vs. LHP

202/238/247 vs. RHP

Can play every position except catcher

A great guy to have off the bench as a pinch hitter and super-utility
player. He's still young and his versatility makes him valuable off the
bench, so I may keep him if an offer doesn't impress.


*KC Gallagher*

132/200/220 vs. LHP

131/192/209 vs. RHP

0/G/+3/Av/0 at catcher

If you'd like an offensive catcher to pair with a good defender, Gallagher
is a nice option. He's struggling at the plate in MLB 2021, so he'll come
cheaper than the two previous guys I listed.



*Relievers that may help a playoff contender:*

*TOR Cole*

60/93/109 vs. LHB

92/121/157 vs. RHB

Nice reverse split that can play well if you have a pitcher's park to
absorb his RHB DF's. Landed on the 60-day IL with a neck injury earlier
this mark and may end up uncarded next year.


*TEX Herget*

35/204/71 vs. LHB

46/131/81 vs. RHB

If you're feeling adventurous and the walks don't bother you, this is a guy
who can get outs. Hasn't pitched in MLB in 2021, but has looked great in
AAA in 23.1 IP.


*MIL Yardley*

84/150/110 vs. LHB

82/143/133 vs. RHB

He's a middle reliever through and through, but if you're in serious lack
of bullpen depth, he can be had for super cheap. Has been dreadful in
limited MLB 2021 action


Additionally, we're putting our top three picks from the 2021 draft on the
trading block. All three are prospects that could be valuable pieces down
the road, but appear unlikely to fit into our plans for 2022.

*SF Bart*

72/95/115 vs. LHP

95/126/127 vs. RHP

5/F/+1/Av/0 at catcher

The heir apparent to Buster Posey has only made 1 PA in MLB 2021 and may
end up uncarded. He's tearing up AAA with an OPS just under 1.000 and eight
home runs in just 32 games. I'm very high on Bart, so he will be expensive.
Only serious offers will be considered here


*KC Bubic*

109/179/166 vs. LHB

87/135/152 vs. RHB

I'm on high on Bubic as well, but he's still a ways off from being a
regular rotation contributor. Has looked good at times in MLB 2021, awful
at other moments. He's bounced back and forth from long relief to the
rotation this season. Like Bart, Bubic won't come cheap.


*MIA DiazL.*

32/32/48 vs. LHP

57/57/82 vs. RHP

9/E at 1B

A prospect that could develop into a decent starter at first base. Not a
sure thing and still a little ways off from being a full-time major
leaguer, but I'd expect value similar to where I drafted him last year.


*What we need:*

Picks – I'm also willing to trade picks for my biggest needs if the price
makes sense.

Full-time 1B – We're heavy on LH bats, so a righty would help balance the
lineup a little bit.

Full-time CF – Defense is more of a priority than offense here

Catcher – If we hang on to Bart, I'm just looking for a short-term stopgap
who can play two-thirds time next year.

Starting pitching – After Musgrove and Ohtani for next year, I have a ton
of has beens and wanna bes. Looking for a pitcher or two that can fill in
the middle and back of the rotation.


Inquire within. Thanks!

NJR Mike
