Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
Here is the trade I am hoping to pull as we get halfway through the season.
(Earlier in the season the Twins made a trade to pull in SP, Carlos Martinez from the Cardinals... He has gone 0-9 this season with a 5.87 ERA and 78 Ks with 37 BBs)
Indians Get -
SP, Carlos Martinez (High B) - with stats posted above -
Martinez has a ton of potential, but I highly doubt that he'd like to stick around Minnesota as he is in the final year of his contract. We have a solid rotation but really need to improve the back end of it with a potential game changer like Martinez rather than who we have currently.
3B, Trevor Plouffe (High C) - .221 Avg, 5 HR, 23 RBI -
With Chisenhall out for the season we are not having luck with our backups filling the void. We need someone that is proven and can step in for the rest of the season and maybe longterm if Chisenhall can't stay healthy. At 27 and in the final year of his contract Plouffe fits nicely into that role for us.
CF, Eddie Gonzalez (66 OVR, B Potential) -
He is batting .210 in AAA and can play any OF position which is huge as we have already lost Michael Bourn to injury once this season.
Twins Get -
SP, Zach McAllister (High C) - 3-2 with 38 Ks and 19 BBs. He had a rough start to the season and we moved him to AAA for a month before we needed him to come back in mid-June. He has won a couple games but isn't really what we see in the future of our rotation.
1B, Nick Swisher (Mid-B/Low-B) -
.284 Avg with 9 HR and 33 RBI. Swisher hasn't been starting much this season and has been a nice pinch hitter, but with our 1B situation as deep as it is, he never really plays as much as he arguably should. He will be a great DH/1B as the Twins only really have Mauer to fill that role.
3B, Michael Culver - (65 OVR, A potential) - He was moved up from AAA to cover for Chisenhall and hasn't produced enough for us to keep him around. His.190 Avg. and 7 RBI in two months of playing are disappointing and we feel he might be better elsewhere.
