Seattle Trading Block *8/17/11*

[asurayseattle]

I know it's last minute, but I'm looking for a bit of relief help for the 2nd half of the season. I don't mind taking on salary.

OF Milton Bradley (has consistently hit .260-.280 with 20+HRs and a lot of walks in the seasons I've simulated with this roster set so far)
OF/DH Jack Cust (7 power! 10 eye!)
OF Michael Saunders (top OF prospect)
3B Brandon Inge

I'm looking to deal Inge and his contract (~14 million left through 2013) for an overpaid SP with a similar contract. I don't mind taking on a bit of additional salary. I would like the pitcher to at least be #5 starter material though.

WOW

How did Pineda do in the the sims (not so hot maybe)

[asurayseattle]

4.2-4.5 ERA in '11 with a few too many walks. By '12 and definitely '13 he was good for a 3.2-3.5 with 9+K/IP. If you max out his potential in the editor, he projects to a 2.92 ERA and 270:60 K:BB in 230 or so IP. Definitely dominant. Basically a younger Tim Lincecum. I figure that, if I can get a 2 for 1 deal with a top-level hitting prospect and a serviceable starter, I should come out ahead. It'll be sad to watch Pineda compete for the Cy Young for another team every year though.

Bump for Saunders.
