Ok, I get what you mean. I think that deal for Dunn is a good one. Sowers is a beast for me (2-0, .78ERA, 2 Runs, 23IP) He would be a good replacement for Lee, I would try and offer Michaels or Delluchi instead of Gutz but they probably wouldn't be as interested in those two.

Remember he's only doing real life transactions. So he won't pull the trigger on dunn until he reaches the day that the indians do the trade on in his franchise. Same with sowers.


And also to StackEm keep the write-ups and transactions before this games sections up. I really like that addition too. How long does it take you to type that all out?

Re: StackEm's Cleveland Indians Franchise (MLB08:The Show)

Former Mets' GM, and now ESPN analyst, Steve Phillips said in an article in "ESPN the Magazine" that the Indians are in need of a bat. He suggested in the article, which deals with fixing the Reds through trades, that he would deal Adam Dunn in a package deal to Cleveland for Lee & Gutierrez. What do you feel about the Indians and how would that trade look as the Cleveland GM?

you said that same thing when u said they want dunn for cain lol hah

I'd say about 5-10mins to write each one up. I get enjoyment out of it. Might load up Game Six now.

Game 6
04/06/08



Cleveland Indians @ Oakland Athletics
(3-2) @ (3-3)



Indians Whack Athletics in the 10th for Win

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9 .10	R	H	E
Cleveland Indians	0	0	3	0	0	0	1	0	0 .6	10	20	0
Oakland Athletics	0	0	1	0	0	0	3	0	0 .2	6	12	1

Oakland, CA - C.C. Sabathia lasted 8 full innings Sunday at the Athletics as the Indians destroyed the A's bullpen in the 10th inning to pick up the Win and avoid the sweep. The A's game back from 4-1 down in the 7th inning to tie the game at 4-a-piece. C.C Sabathia was responsible for all 4 runs, although Manager Eric Wedge felt he was strong enough to last a further inning and leave the game with his equal-career high strikeout total of 11. Accompanied with 3 Base on Balls and the 4 Earned Runs, Sabathia left the game after the 8th inning and handed the ball over to reliever Jorge Julio. Julio was strong through the 9th inning as he retired the side in order. In the top of the 10th inning, the Indians were able to capitalise on poor pitching by Santiago Casilla and Travis Hafner homered to score two, Jhonny Peralta homered to score a further two and Casey Blake added 2 RBIs to make it 10-4 at the end of the Indians 10th.

The Athletics were up next, however, and as Jorge Julio left a fastball down the middle, Mike Sweeney took advantage to send the ball over the wall in left field and deep into the crowd. Career home run number 200 for Mike Sweeney. The crowd stood on their feet and applauded Sweeney but quickly remembered the predicament in which their team was in and quietened down as Julio locked in and bounced back with a ground out, followed by a strikeout to end the inning and end the game. The Indians avoid the sweep as the A's fall below .500 on the season again.

In the article I think Phillips also mentioned Sowers instead of Lee when he wrote about sending Dunn to the Indians.

The game would first want an even number of players changing teams (1 for 1, 2 for 2, etc.)

I took a look at the trade while I was in April in my franchise with Dunn & Arroyo going for Gutierrez & Lee and it said that it was interesting but not at that time. I may try shopping the players around when I get into June. April would be too early for blockbuster like trades anyway.
