Generals Block

[Generals GM (Pete)]

Updated my team page to reflect all moves.  For those looking to win now, I have several good players available, both costly and some cheap. For those rebuilding, a lot of minors available with the exception of those listed below.  I am not looking for anything in particular, just more pieces to help with my long term rebuild.  I am looking for quality over quantity.  Thanks for shopping.    Pete - Generals

Higher Priced Major League Pieces:

CI Edwin Encarnacion 2015 $10.0; 2016 $10.0 (will require one or two top specs, I am willing to hold him until after free agency hits)
MI Brandon Phillips 2015 $12.0; 2016 $13.0; 2017 $14.0 (could be a nice rebound candidate)

OF Josh Hamilton Angels 2015 $23.0, 2016 $30.0, 2017 $30.0 (willing to take back some salary)

OF Shane Victorino 2015 $13.0  (take a flier on him, willing to take back some 2015 salary if one good spec included)
SP Jake Arrieta Cubs Restricted Free Agent (Braves Tag) TBD   (one of the best young SPs in the game, arbitration salary predicted around $4.5, or roll the dice in RFA and take home at least some top picks) - will not give away cheap

Won't be cheap, but looking to flip for a top spec or two
SP: Jake Odorizzi 15-18:$.5M PP
SP: Zach Wheeler 15-17:$.5M PP

Cost Controlled Major Leaguers
CI Matt Dominguez 2015-16 $0.5 - good source of power
MI Jemile Weeks PP 2015 $0.5
OF Charlie Culberson OF COL (passed in 2014) 2015-2018 $0.5
P Marco Estrada BlueJays 2015 PP $0.5 (could get a shot at #5 spot on the Jays?)
P Robbie Ross TEX 2015 PP $0.5 (probably a move back to the pen helps his value, check his 2013 numbers)
P Drew Pomeranz 2015-16 PP $0.5
P Nick Martinez Rangers (passed in 2014) 2015-2018 $0.5
RP Vic Black NYM 2015-17 PP $0.5

SP Robbie Ray SP/RP DET (not yet passed)
SP Tsuyoshi Wada SP/RP CHC (not yet passed)

[Generals GM (Pete)]

Updated for recent deals. Will deal Jake Odorizzi and/or Zach Wheeler for top spec(s).

Surprisingly no one has come calling yet for Josh Hamilton, don't wait, he makes a great Christmas gift for a team needing an OF with power.

[Generals GM (Pete)]

Updated to reflect all completed and announced trades. Moved Josh Hamilton's contract to take on a smaller one in CJ Wilson who was subsequently moved for prospects.

Looking to further consolidate and upgrade my minor league players. Will take back bad salary if necessary. Still some good pieces available. Since I am not as motivated to move them, Wheeler and/or Odorizzi will require a couple of top specs each.

[Generals GM (Pete)]

Bump - Generals have cap room and for those needing free agent bidding or matching spending money, here is something to consider. I will take back a bad contract (and would probably waive and take the hit) if the deal also included me getting a prospect. How good a prospect would depend on how bad a contract. I would send back a lower spec or one of my major leaguers who is not that good.
