NYY - Phi

[ezpkns34]

:PHI: Acquires
29 yo OF Michael Saunders (90/90), $7.5M
27 yo 1B Pascal Gallegos (80/80), Arb '19
22 yo SP Brett Samuels (61/80), Arb '19

:NYY: Acquires
34 yo OF Andre Ethier (70/70), $10M
28 yo 1B Logan Morrison (92/92), $4.8M


The only difference between Morrison & Gallegos is just contact (and that Gallegos is under team control for 6 more seasons), but considering Morrison has hit .247 combined the past 2 seasons, maybe that's not even a big difference between the two. After Morrison is healthy, I'll slide him into DH, and move Ramon Castillo into LF (now that could have some humorous results). Meanwhile, Philly gets a significant upgrade at corner OF and a player that can hit 2-5 in the order

[dejota]

By your logic Nick Saunders isn't even good enough to start except vs Righties but he's a 2-5 hitter....do what?

[ezpkns34]

Nearly 3/4 of the starters in this league are righties. Saunders has a .928 OPS against righties, .906 against them last season

Where would you suggest Kobie bat Saunders?

[dejota]

The point you're trying to ignore is how do you classify a guy a 2-5 hitter if you won't even start him in half your lineups?

[ezpkns34]

Half my games aren't against lefties

[Kobie]

PHI accepts. Morrison simply cannot stay healthy, and I can use a productive bat in the lineup,

Also, should this trade go through, I will need a hand setting up my lineup for tonight's sim. I'm stuck at work and don't have access to a computer with mogul installed.

[dejota]

Approve, Kobie PM me what you need and I will do my best to reply before I go to my g/f's bday dinner tonight.
