I am currently in the middle of May with my Braves franchise and decided it was time to make some trades to re-energize the team. Also, I signed Shane Reynolds and John Rocker right after Opening Day because I set the rosters up as close to Opening Day rosters as I could. Reynolds was 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA, but what makes it really weird is he just signed with the Atlanta Braves.
Anyway, here are the deals I made with the CPU in a span of one week in May.
I think I brought May Madness to Atlanta.
1. Traded Julio Franco, Vinny Castilla, and Chris Haney to the Angels for Eric Owens. Owens brings speed to the team and is one of my favorite players.
2. Traded Paul Byrd, Roberto Hernandez, and Trey Hodges to the Mets for Tom Glavine. I know the Braves dumped him after las year, but he will always be a Brave to me.
3. Traded Shane Reynolds, Aaron Small, and John Ennis to the Cubs for Matt Clement. I wanted Mark Prior, but the Cubs wouldn't give him up.
4. This is the really weird one. After I got Clement I offered him back to the Cubs along with Johnny Estrada for Mark Prior figuring the Cubs wouldn't do it. The Cubs accepted that trade.
5. Traded Mike Hampton, Robert Fick, and Jung Bong to the Padres for Ryan Klesko. This trade was great for two reasons. First, it cleared over 2,000 points to put in the bank by getting rid of Hampton. Second, it brought back Klesko who was one of the Braves' biggest mistakes in trading away. I still getting pissed off thinking about them giving up Klesko and Boone for R. Sanders and Q. Veras. Terrible!!!! Almost as bad as Millwood for Estrada
The two worst trades I have seen the CPU make so far are:
Astros traded Wade Miller to the Devil Rays for Ben Grieve.
Angels traded Seth Lackey to the Mets for Rey Sanchez then traded Sanchez to the Yankees for John Flaherty.
