It's May 1st, 2009, Bobby Abreu is hitting .198 for my Angels and my offense is worst in the league in every category except walks. Magically I'm still in first place because my pitching is STELLAR. Anyway the Mets offer me Fernando Tatis for my backup catcher Jeff Mathis, and eventually I finangle the trade to Bobby Abreu and Maicer Izturis (hitting .097, 4 errors less than a month) for Daniel Murphy, Nick Evans, and Cory Sullivan.

I feel guilty getting rid of Abreu, but I needed a spark for my offense (the next game they scored 12 runs on 21 hits, woot woot.) Izturis wasn't a big loss I have plently of young middle infielders.

Murphy is hitting .319 now after going 3-5 in his first game with me, Sullivan was in the minors for NYM but he took Abreus spot and went 2-4 with a walk, and Evans is chilling in the minors. I saved money, got younger, and a nice spark of offense which should turn around that part of my team.

I think this is the best trade I've ever completed, what about you guys?

By the way, Nick Evans was a throw in, it was originally Abreu and Izturis for Murphy and Sullivan and I figured I'd try another prospect and the Mets didn't seem to mind.
