Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Matt Joyce is definitely one of my favorite platoon options.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I am looking for a someone to replace or split with Torii Hunter. His defense is atrocious and he is slumping really hard in my franchise. I am in 1st place in the division but I am sitting at .500. I am eyeballing a few players:

Nate Schierholtz - 1.1M - Cubs - .259/.304/.419 270 AB 11 HR 35 RBI

Michael Cuddyer - 7.4M - Rockies - .317/.361/.563 167 AB (been hurt) 12 HR 27 RBI

Seth Smith - 630K - Padres - .236/.321/.264 72 AB 0 HR 5 RBI
Padres are in 2nd place in their division and 1st in the WC. They don't seem to use him, though.

Matt Joyce - 1.2 M - Rays - .244/.344/.398 246 AB 10 HR 42 RBI

All of these players are in the last year of their contracts (I believe). I am looking to see what they would ask for in return. All teams are out of it, barring the Padres. Cuddyer is the only one I'd expect to be priced high, but maybe I could afford him as a rental.

Also, there are no preexisting injuries going into this franchise. I didn't feel like going through all 30 teams. So Jose Iglesias is up and Eugenio Suarez is available. Austin Jackson and Drew Smyly are gone due to the David Price trade.

I am looking for you guys to kind of haggle me. I don't want to just look up what the spreadsheet says because I don't want to give up the "mid C" guy that I want to give. Trying to make it unbiased.

Using Willingham as a market reference (understanding it was a waiver trade), I want either J.Crawford or K.Ziomek for M.Joyce. No haggle necessary, you can pick which one

I love Matt Joyce.

Ziomek is a 76 C potential. That's good enough?

The Rockies would probably ask for the Soria-package for Cuddyer (Crawford and Knebel).

Agree with AC that Joyce is a really nice platoon option.

Schierholtz/Smith could probably be had for someone like Drew Verhagen (Cubs) or Tyler Collins (San Diego)

The Rangers received Jake Thompson and Corey Knebel. I completed that trade as well. Would Cuddy be available for a Crawford and something else deal?

Yes. 2nd rd pick from '13. Plenty enough. And he's another Vandy kid

If SD is in a chase, I don't think they would deal from MLB depth. Good deal for Schierholtz, much cheaper option.

Since its just a rental, you think just Crawford would be good enough? Soria had an extra year. Crawford is also more advanced than those two.

I think it's Crawford + Moya. Or Ray straight up. Cuddy is the most expensive of the group and is raking (no surprise) in the franchise. This one will hurt a little more.

Haggle, haggle

Yea, I know. haha

How about Crawford and another pitcher or Devon Travis? The Rockies OF is stacked already and Travis is blocked by Ian Kinsler. Rockies definitely need pitching and they don't have any 2B prospects that are worth anything.

Middle infielders are a dime a dozen, I want your next thumper...and I want him in Denver. Of course, if offered Crawford and Ziomek, I'd be a fool to turn it down. IRL Cuddy will retire in Denver and be a hitting instructor or something...

Do the Joyce deal, it'll help you sleep at night knowing you gave the Rays some kind of value in a trade. Price deal was a steal for DET.

Thanks for all the help. I am torn on Cuddy or Joyce.

You really think he will retire there? That'd be cool with me, they are my fav. NL team. I think had he been healthy, he may have been trade bait this season. I wonder if they can really afford him, too. He is getting up there and they are limited in the money game.

Everything I've read says they love the guy and it's mutual. Expect team friendly numbers.

Besides, I have a feeling DEN payroll is going to open up some room sometime around the winter meetings (i.e., Tulo or Cargo).
