I just need a decent outfield player, hopefully power stat first since giants lack power. I thought maybe Nick Markakis or Paulo Orlando. I know neither has power but are both a upgrade over who the giants have now. I wish i could provide more ideas, but I really do not know. I am asking here for you I should go for. Like i said not going for an amazing gold/diamond player here. I dont have the players to make a trade like that, i do not want to trade any of the giants big name players.

These are the kind of trades I like to talk about. You need some 'pop', almost a full step above a player like A. Pagan. First name that comes to mind is M. Holliday (NYY) if they fall off. Then the next tier of guys, D. Peralta (I just talked about him) or S. Smith (BAL) or M. Cabrerea/A. Garcia (CHW). My advice would be to start looking around the league in your franchise and find a mid 30's guy that has an OPS of .800+ and start targeting them. It's early for you so there is still time. A guy I like in game (since you are pushing the buttons each time) is D. Norris (71 contact L). You can "afford" any guy I listed, pick the one you like the most (play some quick games to get an idea of the swing) and give us some line data + WAR and we should be able to help you find a bat.

A piece and a couple of prospects. What do you want? Where are you starting the rebuilding process? Feliz is throwing well IRL, is he doing the same in your franchise? Are you looking for strictly pre-season value or selling at the break?

I'm also available. I'm 5'10" 185lb RH that can touch 86 on the radar gun. Do I help? That was probably too much sarcasm but offering up a guy that had a good year and a player that we've bounced around for a couple of decent prospects doesn't really give me much to go on.

I need pitching. Maybe a decent bat. But mainly pitching. Probably gonna sell in mid June or so depending how far back I am. I just started it and am only on my third game.

Would like to deal Christian Vasquez for a 3B to replace Sandoval in the starting line up. Swihart and Leon is a more than capable duo at catcher so might as well deal Vasquez.

Is Vasquez too much for Todd Frazier (CWS)? What about something like Vasquez+Abad for Frazier+Robertson?

Feel free to share any other 3B targets as well. Thanks!

The issue with Braun is he hits his 10/5 rights on May 24. The Brewers have the most leverage they are going to have in the next 4 weeks or so. MIL may decide this for us within a month. Get to mid June quick or there is a probability you may have to settle for whatever they get back from LAD.

Here's a twist... Tolles+ with a third piece depending on how much money MIL wants to give up. With Puig coming out of the gates hot, it makes it real difficult to move him from that market without fans calling for Friedman's job. Part of this comes from an article from Nick C. out of the Boston Globe...some of it comes from me.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I noticed with the base OSFM rosters that it shows Machado and Harper as being in the last years of their deals? I though they werent entering free agency until the 2018 season?

this changes my plans with the Yankees as I might have to unload Headley/Castro/Gardner to free up money.

They're arbitration eligible for 1 more year after this year so they'll be free agents after the 2018 season
