The trade just accepted by Lou also includes Lou's 16th round draft pick in 2013.

AA trades Chris Sale (RP--CWS) to Lou for a 2013 16th round draft pick and Peter Bourjos (CF--LAA), who I'm dropping. (I needed to pick a player to make the trade work.)

Is there any reasoning for the Posey-Avila trade? Doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

[DevSop]

There was a pick involved. I asked about it in chat. I don't remember the specific pick, but SG is getting a pick in the trade.

Ah, so is that ever going to be posted here before the trade goes through? (Which obviously isn't a question for you to answer, but to those involved)

[DevSop]

I'm sending a 7th round pick to SG in the Wright trade.

Avila and a 5th for Posey

[Attitude Adjuster]

Trades with draft picks included:

Moose trades Alex Avila and a 5th round pick to
SG for Buster Posey.

Dev trades Kendrick, Cespedes, Gordon and a 7th rounder to
SG for Wright and Venters.

Please remember to post any draft picks here when trades are made.

Do we have an early contender for the Nate Corbitt Rape award?

[Jack Quinn]

I noticed the other day that there is no trade deadline set for the league. We should probably fix that

[Lou]

I think 8/3 has been decided on by the people who check their e-mail.

[Jack Quinn]

yeah I should probably do that more often, just saw it. 8/3 works for me

Gimmick trades Adam LaRoche, Ricky Nolasco, Matt Garza and a 1st and 6th round pick in the 2013 draft to sanman for Miguel Cabrera, Madison Bumgarner and Rafael Soriano.

[Mikey]

There better be some major pickage included in the trade I just saw come across my email. Or it's getting vetoed quicker than you can say "Lips."

[sanman]

I accept the trade.

[Attitude Adjuster]

Mikey: Look above your post. Gimmick is giving up on 2013 already.

Is Garza keeper eligible?

Moose trades:

Eric O'Flaherty (RP Atl) and a 7th round pick

to SG for

RA Dickey

I'm not sure I like this one. Just basing it off the the stats of Bumgarner and Dickey, assuming Cabrera was the 1 that makes Bumgarner a 6 and Dickey's better than Bumgarner by a sizable margin I think.

Garza was picked in the third round, so no he is not Keeper eligible.

[Sparty]

Wait, the No. 1 pitcher in the game who is keeper eligible (drafted in the 20th round) goes for a middle reliever and a 7th round pick? Come on. I'm open to this being reworked, but as of now, I have to say veto.

[Jack Quinn]

Dickey is also a knuckleball pitcher pitching WAY over his head and is very likely to crash back to earth in the second half

RAPE WHISTLE!

[Sparty]

So, uh, are there any picks involved in this Kimbrel-for-Johnson trade?

[Lou]

No. Originally it was Johnson and Stammen for Kimbrel. For some reason SG couldn't get that to go through on his end. So I'm dropping Stammen and SG is going to pick him up off waivers.

[Attitude Adjuster]

Mikey and I are reviewing the Dickey and Kimbrel trades. We'll have a decision by Thursday, in time for the Friday games.
