I've been working really hard to trade for a 2B or 3B. While there are lots of players not hitting, for those at 2B and 3B, not hitting is their skill level.
Its clear I'm going to have to give up a SP. Bob Veale is in the last year of his contract and wants a longer term contract than I'm willing to go with.
SP Bob Veale age 32 3.0 stars (Last year of contract)
3B Bob Bailey age 25 2.5 stars
SP Dick Bosman age 24 AAA 2.0/2.5
SP Dock Ellis age 23 AAA 2.5/3.5
For
3B Dick Allen age 26 4.5 (Last year of contract)
SP Grant Jackson age 25 2.5
RP Clay Carroll age 27 2.5
RP Robert Hansen age 23 2.5
Corner IF Corner OF Joe Lis age 21 AAA 2.0/2.5
Bob Veale wanted a long term contract which I wasn't going to do. I figured he was gone after this year. It would be nice to be able to sign Allen.
I need to spend the extension money now in case the owner cuts the budget.
