So this is my dilemma. I've got 5 players for 4 positions. So far, one of them has always been injured, but that streak is about to come to an end, barring some attempt by the game to spite me and put McKay Christensen out of commission. Rather than bench one of them, I'd rather trade one of them instead. This is where the rest of you come in. So here are the 5 guys:

1) McKay Christensen: 49 CH/54 PH/82 SP. He's putting up stats way better than those numbers. He's leading the NL in batting average, 5th in the NL in slugging average, he leads my team in doubles, RBI, and runs created. You better make me a nice offer for him if you want him; he's one of the best leadoff men in the National League right now.

2) Devon White. 55 CH/66 PH/72 SP. My leadoff man before he got hurt and I discovered McKay Christensen. He's been hurt, as previously mentioned, but right now he has an 8% day-to-day injury which I expect him to get over quickly. He's got an OBP of about .360, and he can hit for power. He's 39, but his contract is up after this year anyway. He's good outfield help if you're looking to put up some W's this year.

3) Jim Edmonds. I don't think I need to elaborate.

4) J.D. Drew. Same.

5) Tino Martinez. 52 CH/72 PH/49 SP. If you're in need of a great-fielding first baseman who can hit, and hit for power, and you're in a position to take on a little payroll, this is your man right here. Be informed that he and White are the two guys I am most likely to move, in that order.

Again: All 5 of these guys are playing well enough to make my starting lineup. When you make me offers for them, keep that in mind. Also, once one of these guys is traded, the other four are going to stay on my roster probably for the rest of the season. So if you want any of these guys, act fast!
