Great stuff, thanks Leslie. The player has a rep so no Mom to deal with. I've included both players below that I think could be available. I have the money to take on a tough sign, I just want to make sure it's worth the extra cash and that I have a good chance to get the deal done.

The tough sign looks like he could stick at SS while the slot player appear to be more of an above average 3B. I like the slot player's power but the tough sign has more power. The tough sign appears to be the slightly better player but I'm unsure it's worth the risk over the alternative.
