Trade: Master Batters Deal Again, Swap Chamberlain For Two Players


The Master Batters have agreed to a trade to send SP Joba Chamberlain ($11) to the Homestead Grays for SP Jonathan Sanchez ($5) and C Jarrod Saltalamacchia ($1).

The Master Batters now have $5 additional dollars to spend on free agents, while the Grays obviously have $5 less.

Chamberlain, 24, is three years younger than Sanchez and has a much more potent New York Yankees offence to support him. Things were running smoothly for Chamberlain in 2009 until his season was derailed by respective 8.22 and 7.15 ERA's in August and September. In 281.2 career IP, he has 285 K's against just 121 BB's.

Joba should vie for the 5th spot in the Yankees rotation entering 2010 (behind C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Javier Vazquez and Andy Pettitte) and should face several favourable matchups should he earn the role.

Sanchez, 27, threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres on July 10th, racking up 11 K's along the way. A strikeout pitcher (9.34 K/9 IP over his career), the key to success for Sanchez will be lowering his corresponding career 4.66 BB/9 IP rate.

Saltalamacchia, 24, hasn't exactly lived up to his prospect hype and has yet to find an offensive rhythm in the pros. He was originally drafted by the Homestead Grays in the Inaugural Draft prior to the 2009 season but didn't receive a contract at the end of the year. Re-signed by the Grays as a free agent just two days ago, Saltalamacchia will take his .251/.314/.389 career line as a switch-hitting catcher to the Master Batters, but he'll need to show some improvement to be anything more than a backup to incumbent starter Matt Wieters.

Trade: Haren Shipped Again


The Master Batters have sent ace SP Dan Haren ($23) to WinOrLoseHitTheBooze for SP Matt Garza ($11) and RP Francisco Cordero ($12).

Haren, 29, is the definition of an ace starter. He is durable (5 straight years of 33 starts or more), effective (career 3.61 ERA 1.18 WHIP) and improving. According to FanGraphs.com, Haren has improved his K/9 IP rate over each of his seven big league seasons:
2003 - 5.33 K/9
2004 - 6.26 K/9
2005 - 6.76 K/9
2006 - 7.10 K/9
2007 - 7.76 K/9
2008 - 8.58 K/9
2009 - 8.75 K/9
If Haren can ever find a way to make his Post-All Star stats (4.21 ERA and 1.32 WHIP) look more like his Pre-All Star stats (3.08 ERA and 1.06 WHIP) he will solidify himself among the top 5 starters in the game.

The Master Batters receive a younger and cheaper, but less developed starter in Tampa Bay's Matt Garza. Garza posted an 8-12 record in 2009 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.26 WHIP to go with a 189/79 K/BB ratio.

Garza was originally selected by the Minnesota Twins, 25th Overall in 2005. Making his debut in 2006, Garza skyrocketed through the Twins system and made 9 starts in the Majors the same year. Garza split a solid 2007 season between AAA and the big club but was traded to the Rays after the season.

According to FanGraphs.com, Garza dramatically improved his K/9 rate in 2009. It jumped from 6.24 the year before, up to 8.38. Expect that number to come down a bit and settle somewhere slightly above his career average of 7.29 K/9 IP.

The second player acquired by the Master Batters will help strengthen the bullpen. RP Francisco Cordero has had two strong seasons since signing with the Cincinnati Reds prior to the 2008 season. Last year he racked up 39 saves, pushing his career total to an even 250. He also had nice peripheral numbers with a 2.16 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. Although his K rate dropped in 2009, he has more than a strikeout per inning in his career.

Closers Dominate Early Signings


There were a few high profile signings on the first eligible day of free agent signings.

The first player to sign was SS Christian Guzman, who inked a 1 year @ $1 deal with WinOrLoseHitTheBooze at 8:42 PM. Magglio Ordonez signed shortly thereafter, agreeing to a 1 year $3 deal with the Black Sox. Next up were closers Brian Fuentes, Bobby Jenks and Trevor Hoffman, signing respective 1 year deals with the YBombers, The Screwballs and WinOrLoseHitTheBooze.

There were many other signings, but the biggest splash was made by the YBombers who added some much needed outfield talent and an elite albeit aging closer. The team was able to reel in CF Shane Victorino
and CF Torii Hunter on similar 2 year deals. The Sandman, Mariano Rivera, then cashed in signing a 2 year deal with the YBombers worth $18 a season.

Free Agency Resumes 6 AM Monday

Due to rules violations (mangers outbidding their available dollars), free agency had to be postponed for 2 days.

Therefore, all bids that were made on Saturday, January 23rd have been erased and the situation has reverted back to the way it was at the end of Friday, January 22nd.

All player closing dates have been pushed back exactly 2 days accordingly.

Therefore, Alex Gordon who had the earliest initial closing date of Jan 23rd @ 8:40 PM, has had his closing date pushed back to Jan 25th @ 8:40 PM.

I have created a spreadsheet to further track free agent bids and any manager found overbidding their available resources shall be granted just 1 more warning (and the bid(s) will be void) before a $1 penalty per dollar overbid will be applied to their salary cap.

Remember any bid made of $5 or less may only be for 1 year.

Any questions, please call The Commish!

MANAGERS HAVEN BEEN BLATANTLY OUTBIDING THEIR AVAILABLE DOLLARS

THEREFORE ALL BIDDING IS CLOSED INDEFINITELY (WILL LIKELY BE UP ON MONDAY) AND ALL BIDS MADE ON JANUARY 23rd, 2010 ARE VOID AND ALL BIDDING WILL BE RESTARTED AS OF THE LAST BID MADE BY THE STARCITY ARMS ON JORGE POSADA @ 9:46 PM ON JANUARY 22ND.

PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER BIDDING ANY MORE TONIGHT AS NO BIDS WILL COUNT UNTIL EVERYTHING CAN BE FIGURED OUT.

MANAGERS NEED TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RULES.

- THE COMMISH

Free Agent Closures Begin Tonight!

Just a reminder that any player receiving a bid within the last 12 hours of his CLOSING TIME, will have his CLOSING TIME extended back to a full 12 hours from the most recent bid.

3B Alex Gordon and 1B Adam LaRoche are the two players with the earliest closing times, 8:40 PM Eastern tonight.

Many Top 40 Players close sometime before midnight tonight (unless bidding pushes back the closure date)

Some of those players: Brian McCann, Carlos Pena, Brandon Phillips, Dan Uggla, Jose Reyes, Alex Rodriguez, Chone Figgins, Aramis Ramirez, Josh Hamilton, Nick Markakis, Shane Victorino, Torii Hunter, James Shields, Brandon Webb, Jake Peavy, Roy Oswalt, Francisco Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera, Joakim Soria, Bobby Jenks, Brian Fuentes and more..


HAPPY BIDDING!

Bidding Heating Up As Free Agency Continues

It's no shock that 3B Alex Rodriguez, RF Nick Markakis, SS Jose Reyes, C Brian McCann, CF/RF Josh Hamilton, SP Jake Peavy, RP Francisco Rodriguez and RP Mariano Rivera have all been hot commodities through free agency thus far. Each of those eight players has received an offer of more than $10 and most have been offered multi-year deals at some point. It's becoming apparent that these players are indeed the class of the 2009-2010 Free Agent Pool.

However, managers have been kicking the tires on many other players as well, and their markets will likely develop slower as managers focus on the big names on the board first.

Some managers have been quick to offer contracts to Free Agents who played for their team last season. WinOrLoseHitTheBooze made a quick claims to 1B Adam LaRoche and SS Christian Guzman. The Homestead Grays shipped out offers to castoffs LF Delmon Young, C Jeff Clement, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia and SP Francisco Liriano. The Black Sox hope to bring back big-time 2009 bust 2B/SS Mike Aviles, as well as SP Fausto Carmona and SP Kyle Lohse.

Free Agency Begins!

Since we all have conflicting schedules, and the madness that is the NFL Playoffs dominating the weekends, we will be conducting our free agent period online via this blog.

Click HERE for the complete list of free agents.
- This page will show updated (to the best of my ability) bids on each player
- Players listed in black have yet to receive a bid
- Players listed in blue are in the midst of the bidding process
- Players listed in red have been signed
- Any contract offered for $5 or less, may only be for 1 year.
- Otherwise, the maximum contract length that may be offered is 4 years
- To outbid another manager, you must either increase the price or the number of years (max 4)

- No manager at any point may have active (winning bids) that exceed their available payroll. Any such further bids will be void.
- I will do my best to update the list but before bidding on a player be sure to check the comment section of THEIR Bid Book or the Best of the Rest Bid Book to ensure there isn't a more recent bid posted. Duplicate bids (although unfortunate) will be void.
- Once a player receives his first bid, it will open a 5 day period before his signing period expires (exactly 120 hours).
ie. Alex Rodriguez gets his first bid at 8:31 PM on Monday, his signing period will expire Saturday at 8:31 PM.
IF a player receives a bid WITHIN the last 12 hours before his signing period expires (example Alex Rodriguez gets a bid Saturday at 7:30 PM), the signing period will extend back to a full 12 hours. (example Alex Rodriguez's signing period now expires Sunday at 7:30 AM). This process will continue as many times as necessary until a full 12 hours have past without a bid. The player will then be signed to the highest bidder's contract and changed to a red font.

- You will notice the TOP 40 FREE AGENTS each have their own "bid book", so it will be easier for us to keep the comments sorted.
- I will be posting an additional "bid book" for ALL REMAINING FREE AGENTS (it might get a bit confusing, but there should be less demand for most of these players)
- bids will be placed in the COMMENT SECTION of the "Bid Book" and must be placed as follows:

ex. Alex Rodriguez, 2 years @ $20

Below the comment box, there is a drop down list called "Comment As:". Select Name/URL and enter your team's name (ie. WinOrLoseHitTheBooze) in the Name box and leave the URL box empty.
