    ASB Trade suggestions

    Ok...here is the situation. I am in my second year of my franchise with the Chicago White Sox. Last season, I managed to pick up Tejada and Pujols at the trade deadline. This is my lineup:

    2B - Willie Harris
    SS - Miguel Tejada
    RF - Magglio Ordonez
    LF - Albert Pujols
    C - Chris Barth (me...created player)
    1B - Pal Konerko
    3B - Joe Crede
    CF - Joe Borchard
    DH - Mike Florie (drafted player)

    Now, as soon as I got Pujols and Tejada, I signed both of them to long-term contracts (Tejada - 7 yrs, 40 pts; Pujols - 8 yrs, 40 pts). This year, Ordonez is a free agent, and wants 39 points. I won't hesitate to give it to him, cuz he is worth it (.355 Avg, 64 HR, 153 RBI last season). However, it will put me in a little bit of a cap bind. Here are two trade offers that I have come up with to free up some cap space:

    Philadelphia gets:
    SS Miguel Tejada

    Chicago gets:
    SS Jimmy Rollins
    #1 draft pick

    Rollins is signed to a 5 yr, 18 pt contract vs Tejada's 6 yr, 40 pt contract.

    -or-

    Cincinatti gets:
    RF Magglio Ordonez

    Chicago gets:
    LF/1B Adam Dunn
    RF/OF Austin Kearns
    #1 draft pick

    Now, before you criticize that one, that is what Cincinnati accepts in the video game...I would prolly drop either Kearns or Dunn from that trade.

    Or, would you maybe trade Tejada to New York Yankees for Soriano (Florie would play SS, Soriano 2B, and Harris would move to CF)?

    I need some help please...I am leaning towards the Tejada/Rollins trade...opinions?
    Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a ttoal jmulbe and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

              no...I meant that the "#1 pick" is the guy who was their #1 pick last year, therefore, made up and you guys wouldn't know who he is/was

              Sorry for the confusion.

              I don't think that Major League Baseball rules allow for the actual pick to be traded ala NFL...

                      I'm not playing ASB, I got WSB but in ANY game I don't see how Cincy would even contemplate this deal? No slight on Maggs, but that's aweful steep.

                              I don't know either...it was accepted by them though...but that is also why I said I would prolly drop either Kearns or Dunn out and only make it a 2 for 1 deal.
