For 35 I might give you Watson. Almost out of Woodford Reserve...

That is a cause for concern . . .

These offers of money or booze must be against one of the rules somewhere.  Next we'll have someone like JR offering illicit sexual favors.

Ya know, come to think of it, I've read nothing on the matter and Babe Ruth himself was sold.  Unfortunately, I'm much to cheap to take advantage of that loophole.

Well I have been wondering what it'd take to get Kyle Schwarber.

I can trade Schwarber for a lot.  For what you're offering, I doubt you'll find many takers.

I am willing to move Margot for a solid closer if any should have one to spare.  Speed guys who try to put a charge in the ball are rare and are Taylor made for this league.  Especially with low k rate.   

Also willing to move snell, great stuff and control seems fixable when you watch him throw tho when that is, who knows.

In a somewhat shocking development, Rich Hill to the DL with blister problems. Ricky Nolasco come on down!

Garrett Richards - S - Angels

Angels placed RHP Garrett Richards on the 10-day disabled list with a right biceps strain.
With the new DL rules, the Angels can get an extra bullpen arm for a few days even if Richards is going to miss just the one start that they expect at the moment. The Halos will have to rely on a bullpen arm or someone from Triple-A to start in the right-hander's place on Saturday.

The Brats place Garrett Richards on the DL, move Alex Wood to PU, and sign Archie Bradley to RP to replace.

Or actually I guess I could just put Bradley at PU and be just fine too.  Six of one, half dozen of the other.

I think I need to offer up more guys up for trade.  Apparently, Margot wants to remain a stopper with homers in his first 2 at bats so far today.

I'm curious.   How are we going to handle a guy like otaku who wants to play both ways?  What if he's very good as bat and arm?

Depends on how CBS handles it.  To work in their system, they might have to make Otaku two players, one that pitches, one that hits.  Otaku the hitter may be on your roster.  The pitcher might be on Dave's.  Or the owner of Otaku may have to make a choice.  Pitcher or hitter?  Those leagues which allow the reorganization of rosters every day may not have a problem.  CBS may allow an owner to flip a PU into the UP position which would help too.  But, all in all, we may not have control...we'll have to look to CBS.   Since CBS doesn't have the ability to give us the benefit of the hits our pitchers get, I wouldn't get too excited.

Eightballs DL Gary Sanchez.  Claim James McCann.
