    Star players available - 3B, LF, SS, SP, and CL

    It looks like the good run for the Frenzy has ended, leaving me with lots of salary and not much performance. So it's time for an unofficial firesale. So the following players are available:

    3B Arthur Eicher - a perennial MVP candidate, still eligible for arbitration next season, one of the league's top stars. Won't come cheap, for obvious reasons.

    LF Chris McDill - Very good leadoff hitter, with an OBP around .400 and pretty good speed and baserunning skills (stole 58 bases last year). He'll be a free agent after this season, but would be a good pickup for a contending team without a true leadoff man.

    SS Shunsen Tarozaemon - Fine SS (or 3B), good for an .800 OPS every year. He's got a big contract, so people up against the cap need not apply, but he's only 30 years old, so he's a decent bet to maintain his current production for a while.

    SP Glen Cotner - Last season's winner of the league's Top Pitcher Award, still a top-of-the-rotation talent. He's under a fairly reasonable contract through next season with a player option for the year after that. His profile says he's "very unhappy" and I would like to see him smile again.

    CL Mike Grimes - Excellent bullpen arm, WHIP under 0.9 the last two seasons. He's a free agent at the end of the year, but a big help to any bullpen.

    Like anyone in my position, I'm looking for prospects that are reasonable close to reaching the majors. I'm especially interested in outfielders and starting pitchers, but I'd consider most any prospects. I can only take salary dumps if they are less than the salary of the player I'm trading away. Email or PM me. And remember, the trade deadline comes up quickly.
