Cleveland Trading Deadline Specials

Hey there fellow owners. If you have not noticed, Cleveland is not that good. My experiment of loading up last season to win it all backfired big time, and now I am left with less than a shell of a team remaining, but with some interesting parts that can put you over the top for that playoff run this year.

Here are the highlights that you might be interested in:

- C Herman Gossard, probably the most consistant catcher in the game batting over .300 just about every year he has been in the league and this season is no exception. On pace for a VORP of 43.1 and 17 HRs to go with that .331 BA he can be the missing piece that you need to win it all this year.

- 3B Ronald Quijada, he admits that Cleveland has not been his favorite stop in the perennial all-star's carrer as he has not performed up to his normal level, but that does not mean that a change of scenery would not do him good. Quality defense, good offense (in his down year he is still on place for a VORP of 21.0 with 21 HR, 112 BB and 23 SB...not too shabby) and a great personality makes this 3B the guy that you need to have on your team.

- SS William Midkiff, a mainstay in the Steamer lineup through the good and the bad. He is having a steller season batting .304 and a projected season VORP of 27.9. He is also a very good defensive middle infielder that can be the answer you need to sure up your middle infield.

- LF Carlos Martinez, last year's rookie of the year is following it up with a great sophomore season. He led all rookies with 21 HR last season and is on pace to get more than that this season with 11 already.

I am looking for SP and draft picks in return, but will talk about any deal. I will also be willing to send cash for some of the bigger contracts. Do you want to win it all this year? If so, I am the man you want to talk to.
