2K13: Off-Season Transaction Thread

John Sickles on the Rule V guys http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/...layer-analysis

I love this one, about Braulio Lara--

"An athletic lefty, Lara can hit the mid-90s and looks like a pitcher physically, but his curveball and slider need work and his command is more of a vague idea than a reality."

D'Backs sign Brandon McCarthy to a 2yr deal
Reds re-sign Ryan Ludwick
Andruw Jones signs in Japan

Brutal off season for my only leagues so far. In the NL I lost $4 Bonifacio in the AL I lost a $3 Revere and $6 McCarthy.

This is why i don't play only leagues. Might be a good time to consider upgrading to mixed.

I play in mixed leagues too, they are too shallow, so I don't consider them an upgrade. Gotta be a 12 team only league (or 13 for NL), you know the leagues where Willie Bloomquist has positive value.

Andruw Jones signs in Japan

This is sad, but I guess I should have expected it. On the positive side, I lose the temptation of wasting a roster spot on him.

On the other hand, are there any Japanese roto leagues around here?

Now that would be hard core.

I want to do a World Baseball Classic draft

sounds good, I'll probably start to gauge interest in January, the games are March 2nd to the 19th I think...

Kevin Correia to the Twins. 2 years, $10 million. Looks like an overpay to me, and contradictory to the Twins' supposed aim to add power arms rather than the "control artists" they've favored for too long.

A panic move once management realized that they'd actually have to have a starter for 162 games...sigh. Dare to be mediocre Twins...

Pirates re-sign Jason Grilli to a 2yr/7mil deal. A 2yr deal for a 36yo reliever? Sure, why not? The going rate has been 3 years

Grilli took less money to come to the Pirates. Wonder who they were bidding against?

This could signal a trade of incumbent closer Joel Hanrahan.

Yanks sign Youk to a 1yr, $12m deal
