Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Looking to trade Kurt Suzuki. Looking for a decent starter or long reliver. Want to do a fair trade without taking advantage of any week logic. Washington was willing to trade Jordan Zimmerman for him but I couldn't bring myself to do it, not realistic at all. Any suggestions?

what teams could use Suzuki?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Looking to trade Dillon Gee. Team that popped into my head was the Rockies as they're tied for first in their division here in June.

Gee is 2-5, 64 ip, 50 ks, 4.75 era

I'm not expecting a huge return, but was thinking maybe for Story or Herrera? I could also add Farnsworth or Parnell to give them more bullpen depth. Both are having great seasons:

Farnsworth - 2-1, 34 ip in 30 appearances, 26 ks, 1.85 era
Parnell - 12 ip, 14 ks, 8 saves, 1 blown save, 2.25 era

Obviously I'd prefer to keep Parnell since he's been a reliable closer and I tend to pitch well with him. Farnsworth I could care less about though if he helps the deal. The Rockies do have a pretty weak bullpen so I'd think he has atleast a little value to them.

if I was the Rockies, obviously I would take Parnell over Farnsworth....now, if u ask me, Gee's stats don't exactly wow me nor do I think an addition of Parnell would be enticing enough for the Rockies to give up Herrera (unless you sub in another SP)....you can probably land Story however

That's what I thought, I'm just trying to see what the most young talent I can get from any one team in a Bautista trade

Switch him back to 3b and maybe look into the Dodgers or Yankees? Not extremely deep farms, but both are big payroll teams that could use a 3b.

Or possibly the Mariners to give Cano some help in the lineup. To the Mariners obviously leave him as an outfielder since that is their big weakness.

Story is what I was thinking. They actually don't even want Farnsworth. Looks like they will take Gee for Story straight up, but when I add Farns they decline lol.

Angels farm system wouldn't be the first team you'd look at lol

Story is what I was thinking. Do you think Gee and Farnsworth for Story is a solid deal?

Parnell would have more trade value if you're gunna package him with a underwhelming Gee

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Teams with lower rated catchers where who I were mainly looking at. Mets, Reds, Padres and White Sox were at the low end, St. Louis has Molina but no backup other than a 60. Suzuki is at 76 I believe. Nats do have a weak catchers but they're young.

the Cards do have surplus SP depth so maybe Suzuki + a small piece for Jaime Garcia?

Agreed. But I think Parnell could command more than Story, even more so considering Hawkins is struggling for them this year with a near 5.0 era.

What do you think a package of Gee and Parnell would be able to get me? Id like it to center around either Rutledge, Story or Herrera. You tell me what you think is most fair/realistic (with realism as the priority).

EDIT: Also, do you think Gee for Story or Rutledge straight up would be an option? I only say Rutledge bc LeMahieu is hitting .348 on the year, granted its only 96 abs

in realistic order based on what you're offering I would go Rutledge/Story/Herrera....if you really want Herrera, replace Gee with a SP that is pitching better...as I stated before, Story wouldn't be an issue..***tledge either...what other prospects do u like from Colorado?

Those are really their only prospects I like. I do like Dahl, but he's out of reach in this scenario.

I edited my previous post. Do you think Gee for Story or Rutledge straight up would work? Neither of those guys is playing well, both with BA under .250, plus LeMahieu is hitting .348 in 90ish at bats.

with nobody performing well between Gee/Story/Rutledge, you can grab another non-major piece from Colorado

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Pittsburgh prospects CF Austin Meadows and SP Nick Kingham for Texas closer Neftali Feliz (assuming he is healthy and not on suicide watch). Who says no?

The Cardinals wouldn't trade Jaime for a backup catcher who won't play most of the season. If you want pitching depth from St. Louis try Tyler Lyons or maybe Tim Cooney. Both are lefties like Jaime.
