I am not going to throw in anyone else for Delgado. Alou had a much better year than him and I already have a decent 1B keeper in Helton. Del would only be my Util player. I only offered Alou because I have 3 keeper OF already and am thinking about keeping Cruz Jr as well.

Considering I have alot of better options still open, I'll have to pass on that for now. I'm not sure I trust Alou will be fully healthy nest year, and I'm not positive Delgado's batting average will be as far behind as it was last year... and you can expect he'll do better in the power categories.

However I may come back to this should some other prefferred roads not work out...

[Nate Dogg]

I looked at my roster and who else did you have in mind? I am not going to give up any of my other keepers. So Alou and who did you want?
Alou will be in Rigley next year so his numbers houls be comparable to last year. He will also be playing on grass which will help his health.

well, this wasn't my first choice, but it would be if you added something to it. But its seems that with what you have on your roster adding a player would either be insignificant push it obviously in my favor.

i.e. the most fitting add-on i can think would be astacio. That would make this trade my first choice. I don't think I'd be able to balance it though unless you'd want to take a flyer on Jaret Wright of Jeff D'amico

Delgado and D'Amico for Alou and Astacio

D' is the good evil twin right. DL eligable? Astacio should put up very good numbers in NY this year.
