We are down to about 10 days of baseball, with the season ending on September 28th! Will Bill hold on? Will Luke go oh-fer in the Mike Trout era? Just how bad would Andrew's offense be without Jose Altuve? Hint: I am hitting 0.246 without him (it's the latest in advanced statistics AWOA, or Average without Altuve), and he has more than 40% of my stolen bases.
My prediction is that Bill wins by holding on to his slight edge in Ks and picking up a half point from Taylor by pulling ahead in saves. Luke manages to pass Bill in stolen bases, but in the end that isn't quite enough for Luke to overcome his middling WHIP and ERA.
What do you think will happen?

Looking for an outfielder
I was hoping I could replace Arcia with Victorino next week, but apparently Vic has been shut down with back pain. So, I'm looking to trade for an outfielder. I have some infield depth and some starting pitching depth. Let me know if you think we might match up.
Mike Trout is on the table...maybe
If I'm unable to win this league during my 4 years of owning super-cheap Mike Trout, well, I don't know what I'll do to myself, but my mother will cry!
Toward the end of preventing me from harming myself, I just want to put it out there early that I'm willing to sell Mike Trout in a dump trade to maximize my chances of winning this year. It's still too early for anybody to pack it in, and I'm not going to contact anybody individually for just yet as it seems a bit insulting to do so. But, if you're in the cellar and are thinking about what keepers you want to lock up for 2015, be thinking about Mike Trout.
As a reminder, Trout is $19 and 2015 is the last year on his contract. You'll have to be willing to pretty much tear your roster apart for me to part ways with him. The salary cap/floor might just make it impossible. I haven't looked for any specific deals yet, so I don't know. As usual with dump trades, the earlier you pack it in the more likely I am to sell.

In need of different pitchers
My starting pitching has gone from a tenuous situation a few weeks ago to an outright disaster. Cobb is still out, Straily is in AAA, Hutch and Masterson are struggling on and off, and Kuroda is finally old. And Pineda is an asshole. So I'm looking to improve in that region. I'm not sure how, because I'm not exactly full of depth elsewhere, but if anyone is looking to add a catcher (Pinto or Castro), wants to buy low on a SP, or wants to take on an injured player (of which I have many!), I'm open to ideas.
