============================
We have some useful parts, especially for contending teams - Reid Nichols, Jim Wohlford, Bobby Brown, 
Jim Barr, and Elias Sosa all can be had (individually or in combination) for value-appropriate draft choices.

Another reminder: I still have that #4(23) pick burning a hole in my pocket (one of my late father's 
favorite sayings) and looking for the best 3 guys that their current owner does not want to lose for 
nothing in the Phase 2.  We've got some time until Gary calls for protected rosters, but when I get 
a good offer, I'm taking it and closing up the trade store.

Canton is looking for picks, 2 of mine for one of yours, etc.

==============================
Gentlemen,
          The Oyster Creek Nukes, after making a couple trades, have some new trade focus.
We would like to trade separately or packaged, both John Lowenstein and Rick Monday.

Together---they offer a lefty power hitter with these credentials:

Combined:   488 AB's  131 hits-20-doubles-3 triples--21 homers-80 Rbis  79 walks 96 k's
                  Batting average --.268   OBP--.368  
Monday--1b and OF
Lowenstein--OF---VG running the bases  and a Terror Clutch rating!

WE are specifically looking for draft picks here, for Lowenstein and Monday as a combo-  --something like a 
low 2nd round pick, OR a third and fourth round pick, or a pick of some sort and an Upgrade over some of 
my lesser protected players. We will be protecting Craig Reynolds, Floyd Rayford, and Joe Cowley 
as marginal protected players. An upgrade over those guys with a pick or some combo could do the 
trick.The lowest I would go for Lowenstein is a third rounder, and preferably not at the bottom of the 
round. I have some new picks to possibly throw back in a larger creative deal if you want to talk that 
way.Of Course Lowenstein and Monday can be dealt with seperately.

Oyster Creek has decided to retain their first round pick and George Bell--but we reiterate-- in the 
right offer--one that is a doozy-- they could get some consideration. "It ain't over, till its over!"

                                                                            Thanks Owners,
                                                                              Doc S~
=============================
Looking for picks and/or SS and/or 3B for Luzinski, who had very good offensive year at 1B in 83.

Baroda

============================
As I sit and look at my 8 or so Phase 2 risks, I'm going to once again flatter Dave Lauer through imitation:-)
 
I'm going to stand pat with my marginal guys and while I'm at it - acquire a few more.  I will offer my pair of 
#4's as well as my #5, #6, and #7 if need be for the best non-protectables I get offered.  As you start putting 
your phase 2 lists together, offer me the near-misses.  You will get a pick in return and I can't lose them all,
right?  It's a win-win!
 
Let the low-level dealing begin:-)
 
Vin - Shelby Stars  

===========================
The Barons have some folks who may be of interest for draft picks.

Rusty Staub - hits .296 in 115 AB's
Richie Zisk - last year hits .242 with .285 AB's 12 HR's Ellis Valentine, also last year .240 in 271 AB's 13 
HR's

Rick Waits - 4.89 ERA in 20 games, has one more decent year.
Shag Crawford - doesn't play this year, comes back in 1984 and beyond.

=========================
The Rossville Rockets have needs for SP, long term SS and backup catcher. We have excess OF players to deal 
along with excess AB's at 3B. Always open to suggestions and never limited to just trading from my strength. 
Hope to hear from you.
 
Rick 

================================
Dave Bergman - many years of quality, if part-time, play.  This year, 140 AB of 139 OPS+ Ex 1B, qualifies in 
left.
Carl Yastrzemski - 380 AB of 106 OPS+ in his final year.  Good platoon candidate at 1b or LF.
John Castino - Last full year, but a good one - 563 AB 103 OPS+ VG at 2b and 3b.  
Bill Russell - Plays 'til 86, 451 frankly crappy AB's this year, but if you need to cover SS...
Billy Sample - Bit of a logjam makes his 554 AB of 104 OPS+ with plus speed and defense expendable.  Plays til 
'86.
Dan Ford - 407 AB's 112 OPS+.  Strong vs LHP, but not helpless vs. RHP.  Plays 'til '85.
Glenn Abbott - 23 starts at 155 ERA+.  Nice 4th/5th for a contender.
Ken Forsch - 34 league-average starts will help if your rotation is thin.
Paul Mirabella - hardly pitches in '83 but sticks around 'til '90.  
 
Obviously, I'm not looking to deal ALL of these guys, but I can't protect them all, either.  Will do packages 
for picks or slightly better players.  Make an offer - I'm pretty easy to deal with, usually:-)

Canton is looking for picks, 2 of mine for one of yours, etc.

Steve Garvey    1B          four good years left
Marty Barrett     2B         just beginning a fine career
Garry Templeton SS       8 good years left
Scott Holman    P           39 games, 11 good starts

============================= 
The East Kenosha Legends have become the firstbase warehouse, it seems.  I would offer Greg Brock, Dave 
Stapleton (who also qualifies at 2B!) and Ken Phelps for what-have-you.  Pitchers: I would offer up SP Walt 
Terrell and SP/MR's Tim Conroy, Neal Heaton and Juan Eichelberger, again, for what-have-you.  I'd welcome a 
short-term SS or a C, but I'll listen to and consider all offers.
