Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

In regards to the Feliz trade, What's the Rangers record in your season? If they're having a tough season they might be open to it depending on what you're offering.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just a recommendation to those running a Mariners franchise, do not deal Taijuan Walker. I've done a number of sims and he ends up being one of the best Pitchers in the league.

Thank you for posting this. I see no reason why to give him up for a deal for Price. However if someone was dead set on acquiring Stanton, then I would be okay with it because we need a great bat to go with Cano.

However I rather see them go after someone like CarGo, who might be able to be had for a package of the next tier of arms like Paxton/Sanchez/Diaz/Pike

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

WTNY, I know it's a lot, but it's hard to analyze all those deals without stats. Like the first one for example, he's having a great year irl that would make his value much higher than a low B, but I don't know how he's doing in your chise.

True, but I am not really asking for a fine-tooth comb over of all of these. God, no. I wouldn't do that to you guys, lol. These are more just general ideas given the assumption that no one is having massively better or worse stats than you'd expect from them. For example, Murphy is doing just about like IRL in my chise. I think low B is an underpay for him anyway and I also think 87 POT for R. Alcantara is very generous--most of the other deals match up pretty well on a letter grade basis although I exercise personal judgment in some cases.

I thought you did a good job with your trade ideas. Only issue for me is that in my current Franchise the sellers and buyers are completely different, so it doesn't really help me a bunch, but if someone else had the similar buyers/sellers in theirs, then I think it's great to post trade ideas.

I also sorta like the idea of certain players in multiple franchises going to the same teams. Example you dealt Willingham to the M's and I acquire Willingham in my M's Franchise.

Depends on how Travis and Knebel are doing.

Knebel's got 23 saves in AA, 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 9.75 K/9.

Travis is hitting .286/.348/.524 in AAA, 1 homer, 5 RBI in 21 at-bats.

Rangers are 33-42 and 12.5 GB in the West, 10 GB the WC.

I'd say they'd be opening to dealing Feliz.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright guys, this is going to be a long post so sorry in advance. I need help from you guys desperately. I'm the Twins and its at the start of July (playing every game) and we're are only 4 GB of the division and 2.5 GB of the wild card. I really want to compete and overtake the Royals for first place. Here is the problem, last game I had 2 major injuries... Brian Dozier for 2-3 months (One of my best hitters) and Phil Hughes for 3-4 weeks (My best pitcher).. Needless to say these injuries will drag me out of the race without some trade help from you guys.

I really tried to hold off til the deadline to make trades, but I really need to make some moves now. I will trade any prospect besides Buxton and Sano since they are both MLB starters hitting over .300. Here is some of my prospects stats (using OSFM hybrid pitch edits roster)

Kohl Stewart: SP 19 Y/O 65 overall/93 potential. 4-5 76.2 IP 83 SO 2.82 ERA (AA)

Jose Berrios: SP 19 Y/O 64 overall/85 potential. 4-6 62.2 IP 53 SO 3.80 ERA (AA)

Lewis Thorpe: SP 18 Y/O 62 Overall/80 Potential. 3-5 81 IP 71 SO 4.00 ERA (AA)

Zack Jones: CP 23 Y/O 63 overall/83 potential. 27.1 IP 21 SO 2.63 ERA 20 SVs (AAA)

Tyler Jones: CP 24 Y/O 62 overall/83 Potential. 21 IP 17 SO 2.57 ERA 21 SV (AAA)

Eddie Rosario: 2B 22 Y/O 65 overall/85 Potential. .269 2 HR 19 RBI (AA)

Travis Harrison: 3B 21 Y/O 62 overall/81 potential. .244 7 HR 23 RBI (AA)

Adam Brett Walker: RF 22 Y/O 60 overall/81 Potential. .2628 HR 35 RBI (AA)

Trevor May: SP 24 Y/O 67 overall/79 Potential. 4-7 3.96 era 52 SO 74 IP (MLB)

I have plenty of other high quality C prospects, but those are some of the more notable ones. I also drafted 3 A potential Starting Pitchers with pretty good overalls, also drafted a 95 potential/66 overall first basemen. I could trade those guys as PTBNL.

Now I looked at all the teams that were completely out of it to see some potential deals.. I need a Catcher that can hit righties, a pitcher that can be a NO. 3 or higher, an outfielder with a huge stick, and a middle infielder that can hit and replace Dozier. Heres some players I'm looking at.

Rays (11GB)

Price: 7-4 3.06 era 105 SO
Cobb: 3-6 4.13 era 100 SO

Mets (8 GB

Murphy: .220 1 HR 12 RBIs
Granderson: .207 10 HRs 31 RBIs

Sorry for the long post, I just thought I'd list everyone that'd interest me on teams that are out of it. I'd really like a strikeout NO 3 and up pitcher, catcher hitting righties, a good hitting MI, and a good hitting outfielder. Please let me know who would be the most realistic to target and what I should offer. Thanks, for the help in advance!

Jorge Bonifacio, Danny Duffy, and Aaron Brooks for Rios and Feliz?

It appears LAD went shopping at the second hand store. That's the best they could get? CHW did well but I'm confused that with the entire OF out, they're still in the race?

Overall, it's a nice reference list as a lot of people are approaching the deadline in franchises.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Okay several people posted that Prado to the Redsox makes sense in my Franchise.

Boston like in real life also could use help behind the plate. as AJ is hitting .232 with 7 HR's and could use help in the bullpen both A. Miller and C. Breslow have ERA's over 4.00 and Middlebrooks is out for the rest of the year.



If you need to see current stats on the players I am mentioning in the trade they can be found on page 502.

Spreadsheet says for the following players
Prado ( Mid B, Low B, High C)
Montero (Low B, Low B)
Putz (High C, High C)

So that's 7 players going back.

Here are a few of the names I have come up with

(68/B) SP M. Barnes- 8-7 with a 3.52 ERA-AAA
(68/C) SP D. Britton-8-5 with a 2.79 ERA-AAA
(69/C) RP R. De La Rosa- 2-4 with a 2.27 ERA in 75 IP-AA
(65/B) C C. Vazquez- .254 4 HR 33 RBI-AAA
61/C) IF S. Croyle-.246 10 HR 55 RBI 13 SB's-AA


My thoughts are Montero would be a nice stop gap until B. Swihart is ready, well Vazquez gives Arizona a young Catcher.

Prado fills in for Middlebrooks this season and moves to the OF to replace Gomes or Victorino next season.

Putz probably won't be resigned unless it's for a whole lot less money.

For Arizona with the rest of the pieces. Barnes gives them a solid Mid-rotation guy to go with their cast of SP's they currently have. Britton gives them a #5 or LR, well De La Rosa gives them a bullpen arm and Croyle can either try and play 3B or move to 2B (I will be trading A. Hill as well)

Obviously it's not full filling all of the spreadsheet values, but do you think this is a fair trade or should Boston give up 1 more high tier prospect?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Jorge Bonifacio, Danny Duffy, and Aaron Brooks for Rios and Feliz?

If I was the Rangers and I was out of it, I think I'd do that. Seems like a pretty fair deal to me.

I think Boston should probably give up one more prospect in that deal.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If I was the Rangers and I was out of it, I think I'd do that. Seems like a pretty fair deal to me.

If I decide to go for Granderson instead of Rios could I do a separate deal for Feliz?

Duffy and Brooks for Feliz
Bonifacio for Granderson

Would these work?
