2B Carlino Mazzolani, age 27. Current rating 3.0 stars. Contact 8, Gap 8, Avoid Ks 10, Defense 6, Speed 9. Currently making the league minimum, $200,000. Excellent young second baseman in his prime, capable of hitting .300+, also fast and a decent glove man. Basically he does everything except hit home runs, and he's playing for the lowest possible salary. Will trade Mazzo and throw in $5 million for a first-round pick. Link:

Currently making big bucks but no problem, I'll trade Coronado AND I'll pay his remaining salary AND I'll throw in $5 million more, all that for a first-round pick.
