I'm trying to acquire Nick Markakis, hopefully acquire him while he's slumping a bit because you know he's going to turn it around.
The other owner has expressed interest in my pitchers, but I don't feel that I have the depth to deal a top pitcher. So I'm wondering if there's a fair package that I could create, which would land me Markakis while only giving up a middle-tier pitcher and a bat maybe?
Please help me out with any suggestions on trade I could propose.
Thanks, WHIR

Your team has a lot more closers than his. How are you doing on saves? I think you would want try to package one of your better relievers like wilson or bell with an OF like Lind or Wells. He probably would rather have almost any 2 of your pitchers than almost any 2 of his though so you might have to offer up a pair of pitchers to make it work for him.
Thx for the reply the other day, sorry I'm slow getting back.
I'd try to sell him Wells, Hanson, and Webb.. I know, I know.. but you've managed this far without Webb, and he's a big question mark. This guy would be selling Markakis (who is slumping), for some serious pitching upside, and getting a not-bad OF in return.
