Mid Meeting Revieiw

According to many from the Miracle Management Team, the Winter Meetings was going to be a time to have some conversations with various owners and proudly show off our Championship Trophy.  Well we did just that but along the way we traded for another pick in the first round along with moving Kendrys Morales East to the Knights while picking up an additional 5th round pick.  The Miracles appreciate the effort from Morales during the Championship run but playing his games in the Kingdome along with no longer being OF eligible limited his flexibility.  The Miracles don't like to have just one person tied into the UTL position and thats where Morales would have been.  Even with the fences being moved in up in Seattle we couldn't be sure of the output we would get.  Hence the move.  The Miracles now for the first time have two first round picks but do not have a second or third round selection.  This will be a new experience for the veteran owner and GM Chris Renner.  He was quoted as saying that the Miracles are close to being serious contenders again but could also be close to simply rebuilding during the off season.  It remains to be seen which direction the Miracles go and it may be sometime during the season before we actually have an answer to that question.

We have had discussions over this past weekend about possibly trading either CJ Wilson, Mat Latos or possibly both.  The Miracles have a knack of securing very solid SP during the middle and late portions of previous drafts so moving these players is a strong possibility.  With both SP's playing for potential playoff teams their value is high and so is the asking price.  Both give solid numbers across the board and would be valuable to the many teams that see themselves as making a run at the 2013 eMLB title.  Along that same line of thought the Miracles have been looking as well for a solid OF before the draft...so if anyone has one available we can certainly open discussions there.

Lots of interesting trades have been made so far and I'm sure the various owners are not done yet.  Good luck to all and if interested in any of my SP's, send an offer my way.  I'm tired of answering the question of "what do you want for them?".  The better question is "what are you offering for me to consider trading them?"  I would certainly enjoy having my remaining contracted players return but lets see how the remaining Winter Meetings time plays out.
