Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Waiting for mizzou24 to finish his roster and will restart the season at the break (can't follow my own house rules as the O's, too much emotion). Worried the group is going to tell me it's not even close and I have to give my first born (negotiations with the wife are ongoing).

Let's negotiate here...maybe 2nd born + child to be named later?

I'd say the first born has to be part of any deal.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ok, my namesake and first born will have size but he's my engineer, my second born is my athlete but will have my size. They are 6 and 5 respectively. Let's consider them long term prospects if I get a 3rd, I'm filing some lawsuits.

With that being said, I'm willing to put Yelich in a package as the marlins are 2-3 years away from a wc run and i can replace his value in that timeframe. I was trying to help the MIN as they play in a pitchers park and have no pitching (while replacing the corner if prospect). Do I go Yelich and 2 pitching prospects or keep evoldi as someone that could help them today?

Something involving Heaney might work.

So how do you guys handle the spreadsheet once your through season 1? Do guys lose value as they age in terms of aging veterans like say David Wright? Do prospects gain value and if so is it based solely on production to date, rating or potential? Just curious how you guys handle the spreadsheet once you've played through season 1 and guys are changing in terms of ratings and in some cases potential as well.

That's what the posters in this thread are here for.

Spreadsheet is a decent base. It isn't gospel. It isn't always even effective for year one.

Heaney + Turner + Ozuna?

It's kinda hard since so many of Marlins prospects aren't listed, especially their pitching prospects. I would consider 3B Moran, but dealing a 3B prospect to get a 3B prospect back...might not make sense?

Not enough.

Kolek would work if we're further along.

To tack on to AC, there are a handful of fans in here that can assist with D. Wright and his value (using your example, the same exercise can be used for any player). I wouldn't expect him to regress with any significance for 2 years or so and then his numbers should start falling drastically. With David it's a bit easier because he is an established star with more than enough data to project. Prospects are more difficult and should be based on player game data (which hopefully will be easier in future evolutions of the game as more historical data is preserved...hopefully).

I'm not totally against the idea of Yelich+Heaney+tbd...just trying to find a match for a second player to come back from MIN because now I'm giving up quite a bit. The second piece from MIN will help determine the third from MIA.

Thoughts on that direction?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Yelich + Heaney may be on to something, actually, but I can't imagine it would take a ton more than that. Nicolino at most.

I like AC's idea of Nicolino or someone in that vicinity. Or maybe some other decent B-potential pitcher similar to him.

I just don't want to give up Yelich as I like him, but, maybe it would be worth the sacrifice and I did draft a solid OF prospect in the second round...

Though I'd rather add Yelich than Kolek. Hard to trade a 99 MPH pitcher who's already starting to hack it in AAA for me at 19.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just to be clear, neither of you two are going for any semblance of realism, right?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

In my franchise 30 team control, coming up on the break angels are trying to get Chris archer.

LAA in 1st, 3.5 up on rangers, 4 on the A's.

TB 4th in east, 9 back of O's, 7 out of wc.

Archer is 3-5 with a 4.96 era.

C.J. Cron 54ovr, 85pot, in AAA hitting .258 12hr, 40 rbi

Rays wanted something around around C.J. Cron in the proposed trade. NPC wanted to basically do it straight up, what's a more realistic package for archer.

How are Kalhoun, Cowgill, Aybar, maybe some other guys doing?
