Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

How's he hitting and how are the Marlins at 1B?

Davis is hitting .303 with seven homers and 16 RBI in 175 ABs.

The Marlins have Garrett Jones at 1st, hitting .282 with 17 homers and 57 RBI in 380 ABs, while Hech is hitting .162 with two homers and 16 RBI in 253 ABs.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Another start of 2015 question.

Cubs roster has promoted, Baez (2B), Russell (3B), Bryant (RF) and Alcantara (CF), Soler (LF) to start Opening Day.

M. Olt (74/B) is on the bench and only hit .262 with 12 HR's last season well starting most the year at 3B.

I would like to deal for him and try him at DH, as I currently don't have anyone really. Also figure he could occasionally play 3B for Seager against tougher lefties.

I have heard many people say he is worth PTBNL or cash at this point in his career, but was the spreadsheet still says 2 Low B's.

The Cubs currently don't have a CP (they are using Strop), and I have Danny Farquhar (79/C) (former CP with 16 saves in 2013) who pitched well in my setup role last year registering 4 saves and a 2.74 ERA and this spring had a K/9 of 11.18 or another thought is SP E. Ramirez (82/B) who went 4-5 with a 4.60 ERA last year for me in spot starts but was 12-3 in AAA. Ramirez's overall would make him the Cubs best SP in their Rotation (Wood-81,Strailey-79,Jackson-78,Arrieta-76).

I figure I could do both which would fit the spreadsheet, but based off of opinions I have read here, it seems like it would be a overpay

That's a possibility. Moreland could be in RF with Fielder at 1B/DH

Fielder is out for the year, and like IRL(I'm in June) I just injured Moreland... Wieters also injured...(I have done most of the real life injuries) keep in mind S-Jo is 1.90 ERA and 124 K's through 94 IP (no one said it's unrealistic to trade him, I'm trying to open a spot up for the beloved Gausman). Right now I'm seeing S-Jo/Pearce(depth piece) for Odor?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ok so I sort of suck at doing trades so I wanted to know what you guys thought of these trades I came up with during the off-season.

McCann to White Sox for Courtney Hawkins (21yrs, 56ovr, 89 potential)

Ivan Nova to Texas for Nick Williams (21yrs, 60ovr, 81 potential) or to the Angels for Ramon Ozuna (19yrs, 61ovr, 82 potential)

Nova could be the #5 in either rotation.

Any advice welcomed and thank you.

Depends on how Nova pitched for you... both seem fair, I think the Angels would likely trade for him over the Rangers..

I think the McCann trade makes sense only if the Sox are ready to compete next year. Otherwise I don't see why the White Sox would do it.

Ike doesn't seem like a fit. DeGrom+.

Just give them Farquhar and another high or mid C potential guy.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I think Olt coming off of a .260/12 year is worth a bit more than a reliever.

Farquhar and Beavan/Maurer? Theo and Jed seem to like guys like that (Doubront, Turner, Straily)

S-Jo/Pearce sounds like a great fit. That is of course if Pearce is providing some sort of value to the lineup. Do you have Profar out for the year as well? That makes things more tricky with Odor I guess since he and Sardinas have provided good depth this year in Profar's absence.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Cubs claimed Hamles on waivers in real life I see.. Been in Cleveland the last 3 days so thats some interesting news.

I guess I wasn't thinking too poorly about them as an offseason trade partner for the Phils haha.. Doubt anything gets done before the 48 hours are up right now though.

Wonder what they're discussing. My guess is Ruben is demanding Rizzo, Bryant, and Castro and then hanging up on Theo... Cubs could really put together the kind of package the Phillies could use to rebuild that minor league system, even without those 3 names I posted.

With Barney gone and Alcantara/Baez up in the show, I'd look at Castro as the main piece coming back for Hamels. (Rollins would be shipped out of Philly during the winter). I could see an OF bat like Jorge Soler being included as well. Someone that can contribute fairly soon in Philly.

But you're right. Ruben's probably asking for the moon and a big chunk of the Milky Way...

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm the Twins and I'm 60 something and 20 something near the deadline. I saw cubs and mets are rebuilding. I traded Eric young for a 59 overall c potential 1st baseman, Then the best trade of my life I traded Aaron Hicks for Travis Wood and Kris Bryant,.

Sounds like you need to turn the difficulty and the realism factor way up.

I'll be honest.. I forgot about Profar and realized about a week ago... and either way I feel bad enough injuring the whole Rangers team lol. Not on right now but should be on in a bit... off the top of my head Pearce is batting like .270 with like 2 home runs and a decent amount of RBIs if I'm correct... he has been solid and I think the Rangers would take him.. so finalizing the deal S-Jo/Pearce to the Rangers for Odor? Johnson fills in pitching needs for the Rangers, Orioles fill a hole in the IF and allow themselves to get Gausman in the rotation...

Even if we get a deal... Hamels can veto it. Cubs are on his no trade clause... if we somehow do get a good return for Hamels from the Cubs and Hamels doesn't veto it... thank the lord..

I'm just happy Amaro actually made a deal(Roberto Hernendez).
