On the block...

[Big_E]

In case we approve pre-draft trades, the Larrupin' Lous announced today that Tony Batista (32 HR, 110 RBI in 2004) is officially on the block.

All offers considered.

How does Ben Sheets sound?

[Big_E]

I'll definitely take it under consideration.

How does Ben Sheets sound?

What round was he drafted in?? I might consider a trade for Sheets.

[Big_E]

Sheets was drafted in the 9th round.
Batista was drafted in the 7th round.

[Hitman23]

Sheets was drafted in the 9th round.

So Sheets would be a 7th rounder?? hmmm.... not bad. Maybe I got some chips....

[Big_E]

Hey! Don't horn in on my deal!

[Hitman23]

Hey! Don't horn in on my deal!

Would I be the Evil Empire if I didn't??

[Big_E]

Would I be the Evil Empire if I didn't??

True...

Not bad at all... I would consider trading Sheets. But it would have to be for a higher round keeper (and it would have to be someone who wasn't going to Japan either )

SHHHHHHH....don't advertise that! Why do you think I was so anxious to trade him?

I'll look over my roster and see what I can do. You're looking for a keeper?

[Big_E]

caveat emptor!

(Actually this whole thread was supposed to be a joke, since (1) We haven't approved post-season trades and (2) Batista is going to Japan).

As Eric just said, let's not get too deep into pre-season trade negotiations when we haven't even approved off-season trading. We're going to be discussing these things shortly.
