Off-season boredom has set in, Thanksgiving, Black Friday & Cyber Monday are coming up, I've been vacationing and playing the horses in Del Mar (except for Saturday which was rained out by torrential downpours but the weather has been great otherwise.)
It occurred to me at the beach today that I have no idea who to take at 1.01 in the draft.
Soooo, I am considering trading down, although not too far. I have no room on my roster to add players, so I am only interested in a strong picks offer.
Despite my inability to determine who to select at #1, the pick should have value to someone more knowledgeable about prospects than I am.
I'll consider offers that come my way between now and 12/1, after which I will start trying to decipher the prospect pool if the pick isn't moved. I'm not desperate, but I am lazy, so please save me the work. Or, you could just wait for me to commit a fatal error at #1 and have your top pick fall to you, which is a distinct possibility.

Thinking of parting with Nick Pivetta as a final move if anyone needs to bolster pitching. Picks only.
Jakob Marsee (3.3 ppg) still available if anyone wants a young power/speed combo OF. May be the last preseason to get him cheap.
