Roster Management

I was thinking it over and I have to get a lefty into my bullpen. Now I have Switzer in the minors an he's 25 years old but doesn't have the stuff I'm looking for and I DON'T plan on keeping him in the organization. I feel that after progession NEXT season he is still going to be AAA pitcher at best. So I was thinking of making a trade with the Red Sox.

Red Sox Would get:

Jon Switzer age 25, 3 Star Career Potential

Devil Rays Would get:

Abe Alvarez age 22, 3 Star Career Potential

Alvarez is younger and better now then Switzer is and will have more time to progess. Let me know any suggestions on whether this is a good trade or any other trade suggestions.

I would do that deal if I were you, but I think you might be able to get something better for him.

Hendrickson 11-0? Thats just silly, Yeah Arnold!

I hate those type of players like Switzer, so I understand you're logic.

Thanks for your comment I really like Alvarez's stuff. I personally think Switzer is garbage I'm not sure I might be able to get someone better but I can't really think of any other young lefty that the CPU would trade.

Thanks I appreciate fans. I enjoy your dynasty also. Anyway I checked the Blue Jays organization and Ricky Romero is the only good lefty I saw :(. But I still think Alvarez is a better pitcher.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow to complete any trades just in case anyone comes up with a better one. But most likely I'm going for Alvarez I already tested and the CPU will accept Switzer for Alvarez.

Thanks guys I really do want Alvarez he is probably gonna take over Mark Hendrickson's spot in the rotation in a few seasons anyway. Romero is listed as a reliever in UR thats why I don't really want him. I'd rather go for a starter who will pitch in the bullpen and spot-start.

Ok I finally made up my mind and I'm gonna go with Alvarez I just have a feeling he's gonna be a dominant pitcher in the league next season and will fit well with this team this season as a Spot-Starter/Long Reliever.

Boston Red Sox Recieve:

-Jon Switzer

Tampa Bay Devil Rays Recieve:

-Abe Alvarez

Abe Alvarez has been called up from AAA Durham and Shawn Camp has been sent down.

maybe you should trade for a more high profile lefty, like JC Romero of the angels. you have plenty of talent to offer, maybe you could get scott shields too and strengthen the bullpen a lot. btw who is your closer? the rays seem to have a different one every week.

Yeah but he is a starter not a reliever.

Well he's listed as a reliever and I wanna leave all the positions on the rosters the same. He may be the same age as Alvarez and have more career potential but his stamina is too low to be a starter next season.

That's only because they're slowly stretching him out (following his spring training injury). He went 7 innings in his last start and his stamina needs to be adjusted.
