========================================= With this trade the Leathermen actually may have too many players.....so I may be in the market to trade one of my 4 backup catchers. Bresnahan and Easterly both have some good years coming up as #1 catchers. Looking for picks. Jim Shoe City Leathermen ===================================== The following Sharks are available for either draft picks or a 2nd baseman of similar caliber. SS - Buck Weaver: Full time switch hitting SS through 1920. Has a good 1913 season, and some better seasons coming up. Has 533 ABs in 1913. OF - Josh Devore: 277 ABs, .264 BA, 23 SBs in 1913 P - Bill Steen: 2.45 ERA, 13 starts, 57 Ks. Has a better season in 1914. Thanks ===================================== For all players list below, we are looking for draft picks and younger players...... 1. Honus Wagner SS - Still has some nice years left in the old mans tank. With four full time seasons left, including a .300 season in 1913, Ole Honus is ready with lead you to the promised land. Do not need a SS back as Rabbit Maranville is set to take over. 2. Johnny "The Crab" Evers 2B - The Crab has two good full time seasons left and a 3 part time season after those. He will give you solid defense at 2b and is the Chalmers MVP winner in 1914. 3. Hans Lobert 3B - Another VERY productive playe with several good seasons left. Hans bats .300 in 1913 with 573 AB's at 3B and his solid again in 1914 with 514 AB's with a .275 average. He is fast....with 41 and 31 SB the next two seasons....in fact, last season he raced a horse and won. 4. Tommy Leach CF - Another very productive player for the next two years. Tommy bats .287 with a .391 OBP in 1913 and player CF and 3B in '14 with a league leading 676 plate appearences. 5. Chief Wilson OF - The Chief has for good season left, including two very full time year in 13 and 14, and two 300+ AB season in 15 and 16.. In fact, he pretty much does not miss a game in the next two season, and will provide solid steady OF duty with VERY Good power, doubles, TRIPLES, and 10 and 9 HR's in the nex two year, pretty high even for the late deadball era. 6. OF Red Murray - Red is in his last ful time season, but is an everyday player with nice doubles power and 35 SB. Also has a decent partime season in 1915. Tom Seaton SP- 27 Game Winner in 1913 and pitches very well through 1916. Holy Toledo Batman...52 Games AND 35 Starts in 1913!!!!! Boardwalk Brown SP- 43 Games, 35 Starts, 17 Games Winner with a 2.94 era and 1.22 whip. Hank Robinson SP - A fantastic swingman from 1913-15. In 1913, has 43 Games, 22 Starts, a 1.14 WHIP and has similar seasons in 1914 and 15. Same as the hitters future pitcher and/or draft picks.......get'em all while there hot! Mike See ======================== Howie Camnitz and Joe Lake are available. Camnitz is a top pitcher for the 1912 season and I would expect a 1st rounder and a fill-in player – or a longer term offensive player with good numbers. For Lake I would like to receive a 500+ AB player for 1912. Don - Brooklyn ========================= The Flames can just barely come up with enough bodies to protect. Obviously we will consider any trade offers. John L =========================== Bombers have decdied to end the firesale after little interest. Have decided to gear up for a final chase at a championship! I do have an extra 3B if anyone is in the market for one. Take Care, Mike See =============================== ...now that the Wildcats have established what pitching is worth.... Looking for picks, future help, + replacement GS if I trade Steele. Elmer Steele P 20 GS + 20 GR, 8th best whip in 1911 among qualifiers. Larry McLean C good (for the era) hitting catcher for 3+ years. Hugh Bradley 1B 41 ab, .317 avg, .803 ops, filler next year, a good 427 ab in 1914. ========================== The Rail are looking for a 3rd string C. We have about 1/2 dozen cruddy OFer's that won't play much, including, Messenger, Barrows, Wilie, Clark, Humphrey and Hank Butcher. Hank's the best of this rotten lot. Also, Harry Steinfeld is avaialble. Looking more for defense than hitting prowess. Terry
