Chows now in Fire Sale mode







The following Illinois players are officially on the block:

Frank Thomas -- stud DH or pinch hitter -- The Big Hurt can get those clutch hits for you to win games. Frank was rested during some home games so his usage should be back on track for Block III. Who is your DH -- is he better than Frank this year? Frank is even willing to "request" that his NASBL HOF plaque has the hat of his final team on it -- he can be immortalized as a _____________. The Hall may let him get away with it too if he can wax profoundly about his World Championship with said team.

Michael Barrett -- Want a catcher who can hit -- Michael is your man. Real solid card -- can drive in runs for you. He is also fast becoming a reason for fans to buy tickets to the game -- baseball and boxing a combination that can't be beat. WARNING -- may not mix well with A.J. Pierzynski or Carlos Zambrano

Adam Everett -- want to shore up your D up the middle in the late innings --his 1 at SS can help out your closer.

Juan Cruz -- Need some innings? Cruz has them for you and they are pretty decent innings.

Bob Wickman -- Closer burned out from all those games you are winning? Bob's not -- the Chows rarely win and when they do Halladay usually goes all 9. His low home runs will make him a solid guy in the middle of your pen as well.

Kiko Calero -- Real good card -- plenty of innings yet because he was the Chows set-up man.

Matt Thornton -- need a lefty out of the pen? Matt's your man.

Justin Speier -- Unique R/L pitcher -- can really help in certain situations. Again he has plenty of innings.

David Dellucci -- Fantastic Pinch Hitter and part-time player against Righties. Has an excellent card and has been very productive for the Chows.

Chone Figgins -- not a better pinch runner available for you -- imagine being down a run in the ninth in the World Series and your slow DH walks with one out and nobody on. Chone can PR and steal that run for you!!!

Pedro Filiciano -- will cost you more than the other relievers because he is shaping up to be good next year -- but he is a lefty who can get both sides out.

Feel free to ask about other guys as well -- would be willing to trade some of the other guys if I am getting back useful players for next year. Others I would consider dealing include Adrian Beltre, Mark Teahen, Adam Dunn, Tadahito Iguchi and Josh Willingham -- however those are guys that fit (or may fit) into the Chows future (wow the future sure seems bright with names like that!!!).

First team to act on relief pitchers can give me back a totally spent arm since I am OK on relief innings for now!!!

My needs:
