Santo Domingo Trade Block 2114

[Huckleberry]

Bill Jacobs, SP - Have a good defense and need a back end starter? This guy won't give up too many home runs and won't walk too many, but he's not going to strike out many either. Full 5 years of team control.

Silvano Faio, RP - Filthy stuff, not so great control. But he performed very well last season for me. Average out the extreme BABIP numbers from the last two seasons and you have his real value, which is probably an ERA in the 3.75 range with peripherals to match. $350K salary, 3 years of team control left.

Abdul-Aziz Arif, RP - Got him on a minor league contract, he was a poor starting pitcher who I signed to convert to a reliever as his cutter looks like it won't develop into a major league pitch. He is 8/4/6 with 8/5/6 potential. Definitely deserves a shot at a big league bullpen. Take a look at his 2112 season at AAA compared to his 2113 season. As a reliever he had a 120/30 K/BB ratio. As a starter it was 37/40.

Dhrtatman Nageshwar, RP - Another starter to reliever conversion. He was a good SP prospect at one point but never developed more than the fastball/splitter combo. Definite long relief candidate at the major league level, though. He's on a minor league contract so will be minimum salary if you promote him.

Tomás Arnada, RP - Guy whose performance hasn't lined up with his ratings. Might be worth a shot if you need bullpen help, though. Minimum salary, 4 seasons of team control left.

Clifford "Fudd" Mitchell, RP - The great Fudd Mitchell. He was left as a starter too long in Ottawa but I signed him to a minor league contract as another conversion possibility when I saw his individual pitch ratings. Still has a good fastball and slider, definitely a major league bullpen guy still in my opinion.

Shi-ping Lao, RP - Didn't expect to sign him and all these others. Barcelona closer who hit free agency. On a 2-year contract at $2.75M each season.

Gadiel bin Salman, RP - One year left at $3.75M. Once a starting pitcher I converted him to the pen and he has shown that's where he thrives. Last two seasons he's gone 100/22 and 100/21 in K/BB. He's also obviously a candidate to step into the rotation if an injury hits.

Okay, due to getting more guys than I thought I would in free agency I need to unload some arms. Trade block above has been updated. I can't get rid of all of them but need to get rid of some of them or I'll have several major league caliber relievers in AAA.
