A post related to baseball IRL

I got home from work tonight and saw that Pujols had hit his 499th HR in the first inning. Went back out and drove to the ballpark, bought a $5 ticket and got here JUST in time to see him hit #500 (from quite far away, as you can see). Woot!

Looking to trade an outfielder or closer

I'd like to try and trade from my outfield depth for either an offensive upgrade or a starting pitcher. I'd be most interested in trading Rasmus, Markakis, Nava, or Colabello. I am also open to offering Brantley or Martin, but would need significantly more value in return.

I'm also interested in trading away one of my 3 closers for a starting pitcher. I am most interested in trading Axford and am pretty apprehensive about trading Rodney or Balfour, although I recognize that I could get a much better return for Rodney or Balfour.

I'm pretty satisfied with my team right now and am just looking to tweak it a bit, so I'm not in any big rush. Just trying to give people some ideas. So, if you are in need of saves and/or some outfield depth and think we match up, let me know.

Looking to trade an injured player for an OF

I've had a rough run of injuries and I'm burning up most of my bench spots with DL players. I'd rather not cut them, since I think they have value, but I'm also in a bit of bind in terms of fielding a starting lineup. Let me know if you're interested in waiting out any of these guys' return:

Hamilton - out 6-8 weeks because he slid into fucking first base, torn thumb ligaments
James Paxton - out 2 weeks with a strained lat
Nate Jones - hip injury, TBD
Mark Teixeira - out until mid-late April with a hamstring injury (Grade 1 - mildest)
AJ Griffin - shoulder weakness, out until ~mid May
