Brick Takes Advantage of Seattle

Due to the ineptness of Seattle's front office, the Monarchs today traded their seventh-round selection, infielder Pat Miller, to Brick in exchange for Brick's eighteenth-round selection, reliever Miguel Ortiz.

When asked why Seattle didn't just draft Ortiz if they liked him so much, Seattle Assistant Director of Player Personnel William Shultz began a 20-minute rambling soliloquy on Seattle's draft processes that put all of the reporters to sleep, effectively leaving the question unanswered.

Brick and Antelope Valley swap relievers

Brick announces the following trade: Brick sends reliever Al Dougan RP to Antelope Valley for Glen Carlton RP. GM Goldfarb decided that  a lefty reliever was needed and acquired Carlton to be the lefty specialist on the staff..The Brick GM felt that a shut down lefty was needed citing the hi numbers given up to lefty batters...The GM of Antelope was happy to receive a capable reliever for his pen

First trade of the New Year

The first trade of the 2017 "real world" year, as well as the first to involve draft picks from the 2030 draft, occurred today between the Brick Barracudas and Shackamaxon Lenape. Brick acquires three prospects from Shackamaxon in exchange for two prospects and two draft picks.

Heading east across the Delaware River are 3B Tzu-Hsia Wang, AAA RP Esteban Valenzuela, and A 2B Donald Helton. In return for the trio, the Lenape will receive AAA CF Julio Quintana, A RP Jeff Pearson, and Brick's 3rd and 4th round picks in the next season's draft.

Shackamaxon's Trade List

I'm at the point of this season where I want to make some promotions in my minor leagues, and I have players I'd like to trade to make those moves possible. There isn't a real star in here, but some of these players can play useful roles on a team (like a 5th infielder, or a platoon starter):

  • 3B Tzu-Hsia Wang - still only 22 years old, he's a former top prospect that hasn't found a role on my team. I'm currently using him as a DH against LHP, but he can probably start in AAA for a few more seasons until he blossoms into a major league regular.
  • OF Jeremy McCullough - veteran making under a million dollars this year (and arbitration eligible). He's absolutely mashing the ball this season (305 ISO!) and can play either corner outfield position. He's good enough to be a starter, or an excellent 4th outfielder or DH.
  • AAA IF Tokuma Kanno - currently starting at AAA at shortstop at age 25. Has done nothing but hit well and play all over the infield since I picked him up. Can probably be a utility IF right now, if you need a cheap 5th infielder.
  • AA OF Jason Graham - a 24-year-old former first round pick from the infamous class of 2025 just hasn't clicked for me, and probably needs a change of scenery to finish developing. 
  • A OF Carlos Maldonaldo - 20-years-old and beloved by the OSA (but not my scout). After a dreadful 2028, he's mediocre so far this year, but there's a lot of time ahead of him to develop into a major league regular.
Some pitchers I wouldn't mind trading:
  • AAA SP/RP Esteban Valenzuela - I've tried him as a starter, closer, swingman, and setup reliever. He just hasn't clicked in my system, but I think he can provide value to someone else's team. Currently closing at AAA, this 25-year-old has major league experience.
  • AAA SP/RP Todd Davis - possibly a failed starter, as he has pitched very well as a setup reliever in AAA for me this year. He's also 25 and can develop into a starter or swingman.
  • AAA RP Bernardo Franco - one-time top prospect has been reborn as a LOOGY this year -- I'm sure your team could use one.
  • AA SP/RP Subaru Ono - only 22-years-old, and pitching great at AA this year. I don't think he's a prospect, but he's excelled both in the bullpen and in my rotation. I just want to make room for a prospect to get promoted. 
  • AA RP Angel Hernandez - 20-year-old setup reliever at AA. Can be a future closer or late-innings lefty (he's probably too good to be a LOOGY). 
If one of those guys interests you, let me know and we can work out a deal. For the most part, I'm not asking for too much for them, but perhaps we can package two or three together for something that will improve my team's chances, both this season and in the future.

(Starting Tuesday, the 3rd, I'll be rather incommunicado for a while. I'll try to respond to any offers or trade discussions when I can.)
