I can honestly see Nick Franklin and a mid level guy like Tyler Marlette or John Hicks going to the Phills for Byrd. I'd really like to see the M's get a younger piece, but if we want that RH bat we may have to overpay.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
Thanks for the reply. I am really thinking about that trade of Plouffe to the Dodgers for Stripling or Magill plus Chigbogu.
I don't really have much interest in another 1B prospect Choi. I already dealt for Greg Bird and if I get Chigbogu, I don't know what I'd do with Choi. I am really in need of a catching spect and figured Marlette would be obtainable because Zunino is so young and entrenched. I am not married to the idea of Marlette though especially because he's not much of a defensive catcher.[/QUOTE]
Add a RP the Dodgers can use (everybody needs fresh arms for the playoff run) for Magill plus Chigbogu. AC is right (though I'd like to see him on the O's not Yanks) in this is a minor deal for LAD so it's minor pieces in return. Stripling grades out much higher for me than Magill does.
Choi started as a catcher but he is not defensive either. I really am probably the wrong guy to talk on Marlette. Even though he's blocked, I think he is very valuable. Somebody else will chime in but in the end, if you get what you want, make sure you overpay for it :-)
How are the Phillies doing? Call Jr. and make a deal for Rupp. He can pick it and they have Joseph and Valle behind him with Ruiz on a 3 yr deal."for love of the game" - B. ChapelComment

Hultzen would be fine if his durability is low. Maybe either Maurer + Erasmo or Hultzen + Marlette."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

The Dodgers really have nothing at 3B with Figgins/Uribe stinking it up...Dee Gordon is out 2 months as well. If I don't send them Plouffe, their only options for IF help would be Headley (which I think is way less realistic than Plouffe), Howie Kendrick (again, not liking the realism), Dan Uggla, Darwin Barney (lol), or Luis Valbuena. I think Valbuena to the Dodgers would be ok if not Plouffe, but it's not a "major move." But it is a smart move.
I think Hultzen (47 DUR) as the primary piece for Willingham is fine. I may try to add in a UTIL like Romero since getting J.R. Murphy from the Yankees would make Marlette less attractive.
I think this is a nice starting point (and almost ending point) for these deals. Thanks again.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
LOL. You must've gotten deuce's version of OSFM with all Mariners jacked up (kidding, deuce). In my hybrid roster, Hultzen is only an 82 POT and Sanchez is also an 82 POT. Marlette is the same in both of our rosters.
EDIT: BY the way, yes that's a big time ripoff for Stanton, so you should kick in a couple of additional really nice spects or you'll have the guilty conscience, lol.
Actually found that funny being how the only prospect on my roster that has A potential is Walker. In fact Marlette is a 65/C in mine and in real life he is considered to be in the M's Top-10.
I honestly believe they would being willing to trade Marlette for a guy like Willingham because of the huge need of a RHB. Plus Hicks who got lost in the mix somehow is actually a guy who I think will end up on the roster sooner but just as a backup for Zunino.
I don't see the M's giving up on Hultzen yet or teams trading for him being how he is hurt yet again. But then again real life doesn't affect what you can do in your Franchise.Last edited by Deuce2223; 07-13-2014, 10:50 PM.Comment

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
4 Days away from the deadline in my M's Franchise.
Still looking to do some deals for the CPU teams.
Boston needed help at OF and was going to trade Ruggiano from the Cubs but he got hurt after my last game and is now on the DL.
So I just decided to promote Brentz who was hitting .288 with like 18 HR's in AAA.
However now they just lost Middlebrooks for the rest of the season, so I moved B. Holt to 3B but that leaves them short on the bench.
Pittsburgh is out of the race and was thinking of maybe dealing P. Alvarez (.244 19 HR's 59 RBI) to the Sox, as Boston currently has a 2 game lead in the WC.
I would then promote Harrison from AAA and have him finish out the season at 3B.
Or do you think I should just promote Cecchini who is currently hitting .265 with 11 HR 49 RBI and 17 SB's in AAA.Comment

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I'd go the Cecchini route. Pedro Alvarez is not a Red Sox type player at all.
Deuce, you think Marlette over Hultzen makes more sense from your point of view? If I do that, do you have any problems with including Romero, Kohlscheen, or Brandon Mauer as a secondary piece if I add in a RP along with Willingham?Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

Another trade option would be Alvarez to the Dodgers. Any thoughts on who would be good options to go back to Pitt?
Also San Diego is currently tied for the NL West lead with the Dodgers with the other leading the WC.
They just lost 2B J. Gyorko for the rest of the year and was thinking about a D. Barney trade. Barney is hitting mid .260's with 7 HR's (must be juicing) . They also could use a better OF off the bench as S. Smith is hitting .200 with no HR's.
Schierholtz is hitting .255 with 10 HR's and 38 RBI
So Barney and Schierholtz as a package for??Comment

I could see guy's like E. Ramirez, B. Beavan and B. Maurer going in deals to acquire bats.
I don't see why the M's would give up on Romero yet as he is the closet thing we have to a RH bat who could play at the Major league level. Granted they would be getting on in Willingham, but I like the Marlette/Maurer deal better.Comment

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
What about the Dodgers? Or Tigers?
Also added in a San Diego /Cubs idea
Another player I just came across who might be a option for Boston would be G. Dobbs. He is hitting .269 with 12 HR and 53 RBI for the Marlins who are also a seller.Comment
