I was offered the following trade:

Ugueth Urbina
Danny Graves
Roger Cedeno

for

Troy Percival
Orlando Palmeiro

My main concern is Urbina for Percival. I dont know much about Urbina and would appreciate any advice. Percival has not played much this year so far and I know the person that offered the trade is very eagar to deal Urbina.

Another trade offer I received was:

Craig Biggio for Fernando Vina

They seem pretty even but again I would welcome some input!

My team has been doing very well (currently in 2nd) but my areas of weakness are AVG. and Whip.

OMG hahaahahh! that's me! urbina was boston's closer back in the "before the closer by committee days" and i suppose he was in the top echelon of his job then, but boston couldn't afford him and he signed with texas. and that's why i couldn't get rid of him- people were afraid he wouldn't get save opportunities with texas (actually that was also a concern of mine). evidently, we're all wrong, he's racking them up.

i suppose you're wondering why i wanna get rid of him, then. well i have huge holes in my lineup, as i built a pitching team. that's where palmeiro comes in. and my pitching staff being what it is, woody williams and oogie urbina are the only guys im willing to trade ones.

i'm asking for percival coz 1. i've always been a big fan, and 2. as a replacement for oogie, i wouldn't mind the stats dropoff, coz i get palmeiro who i desperately need.

i'll have a look at your team and then post again my suggestions (btw, i'm number 3, right behind you)

wow. your lineup is solid. if i were in your shoes, however, i'd start vina (even if he has the lesser stats, i'd put my money on him turning things around soon...), and trade vasquez who'd have really good value right now. get rid of kenny lofton, and i'm a little iffy on tim salmon, as i'd really much rather upgrade than keep someone like him. your bench is deep...

colon is colon. gil meche isn't someone i'd slot as ur number 2. trade worrel while his saves total is high. when nen comes back, his value will plummet...you should let dreifort play...trade livan. the only major hole i see here is another reliever. you should have another closer here coz, like i said, worrel's not a long-term solution. almanza's ok, but his 0 saves leaves something to be desired...

i'm no expert but i hope this helps. wait, why am i helping you? you're one spot higher than me...grrr...:D
