Blowing up the Bloggers

Everything must go! First come, first serve!

I've decided to blow up the reigning champions and trade my roster full of elite MLB talent for prospects and/or young big leaguers. Almost everyone is available, so I'm going to list most of them below along with a short description. I'm looking to make deals quickly, so trade chat, e-mail, or instant message me with interest as soon as possible. I'll delete players from the list as I trade them.

Trevor Christopher, 29-year-old SP: Arguably the best pitcher in GW2 history, with 95/95 splits, 93 control, five good pitches, and incredible numbers: 77-25 with .227 opponents' batting average and 2.62 ERA in 963 innings. Under 30, still arbitration eligible, and willing to sign long term for $6.75 million per season.

Miller Stein, 30-year-old CF/2B: Gold Glove center fielder with 97 power and 85 contact who hit .280/.356/.559 with 43 homers and 120 RBIs last season and .301/.365/.530 with 32 homers and 111 RBIs two seasons ago. One of the top 10 all-around players in GW2, still only 30 years old, and signed for two more seasons.

Neil Millwood, 30-year-old SP: Ace right-hander with 96 control and 95 split versus righties. Career 3.69 ERA and can throw 225-plus innings per season if needed. Also 9-0 with a 3.09 ERA in the playoffs. Still arbitration eligible and willing to sign long term for $7.5 million per season.

Harry Castillo, 30-year-old SS/2B/CF: Three-time Gold Glover at second base who's also capable of playing shortstop or center field. Career .276/.333/.506 hitter with 89 power, 88 contact, and 30-plus homers in four straight seasons. Still arbitration eligible and willing to sign long term for $7.3 million per season.

Harry Lackey, 33-year-old SP: One of the best left-handers in GW2 history, with a 3.12 ERA, 128-69 record, and .235 opponents' batting average in 323 career starts. Also 10-3 with a 3.47 ERA in the playoffs. Under contract for $7.5 million this season and willing to sign an extension at the same salary.

Hayes Dorsey, 29-year-old SS/2B/CF: My starting shortstop for the past six seasons and a career .282/.344/.395 hitter who makes very few errors defensively. Still arbitration eligible and willing to sign long term for $7.25 million per season.

Pedro Cruz, 30-year-old catcher: Low-durability catcher with an incredible bat and good glove who can get 300-400 plate appearances per season. Career .296/.355/.539 hitter and only wants $2.2 million per season in a long-term deal because of his low overall rating.

Otto Barkley, 29-year-old SP: Top-of-the-rotation starter with 85 control, 83/71 splits, 97 velocity, .240 opponents' batting average, and 3.70 ERA in 689 career innings. Still under 30 years old and arbitration eligible for the first time.

Matthew Laird, 28-year-old RF/LF/1B: Laird has never batted below .310 in a season and is a career .338 hitter with a .393 on-base percentage and .487 slugging percentage. Has a 95 split versus righties and 88 contact. Arbitration eligible for the first time and only asking for $1.5 million.

Herman Maxwell, 35-year-old RP: Elite reliever with 95 split versus righties, 89 control, .231 opponents' batting average, and 3.87 ERA in 696 career innings. Older, but no signs of slowing down yet and under contract cheaply.

Tuck Holder, 27-year-old 1B: Cheap, good-hitting first baseman who's arbitration eligible for the first time and asking for only $1.3 million. Career .291/.360/.481 hitter with even splits versus lefties and righties.

Reggie Harris: 28-year-old catcher: Low-durability catcher who crushes left-handers and plays very good defense. Career .300/.349/.524 hitter with 64 pitch-calling and very cheap to sign long term because of his low overall rating.
