MMM says: If anyone thinks that Matt Joyce or Nate Robertson are going to have bounce back years just make me an offer. Would like to free up some roster space. Also, no-card rights can be had as well.

SHS says: SHS is treading water this year. I most likely will keep my 1st round pick but my second can be had for a better pick next year/prospect/player or combination of those.

MBB says: Maine is genuinely interested in one year wonders, future HOF pitchers at the twilight of their careers, and shortstops with overly optimistic D ratings. During the draft if you see a guy available that you want, let me know and we will see if we can deal. The best bargains are at midseason, but I would pay you more now to keep them the whole season. Pretty much the only carded players I would trade are Cody Ross, Brett Myers, Okajima, and Russ Springer.

Manage Your Depth Chart

Posted: 2/21/2010

Borrowing from some of the real baseball sites, I've created a depth chart tool that allows you to visualize your squad by position -- it's now a link inside each team's clubhouse page. By default, each player is assigned to his primary position -- that which he appeared at the most in 2009 MLB. However, from your profile, you can manage your depth chart, assigning players to different positions and setting the rank order (0 is on top, then number 1 for the first backup, etc.). This feature has no official bearing, obviously, but I think it's a great way to quickly visualize how different teams are shaping up.

Card Ratings Added

Posted: 2/10/2010

Rosters and the free agent list have been updated with actual fielding and endurance ratings (thanks to Mike for help), as well as actual lefty/righty ratings for both pitchers and batters. Like last year, I calculated these ratings based on card numbers and a neutral (1-10) ballpark, with 100 being league average, above 100 being pro-offense, below 100 being pro-defense. (If you're a pitcher, a 50 is excellent -- but not if you're a hitter).
