Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

imo Segura wouldn't be moved unless it was an overpay at least for the next year or so. Brewers really like him (especially because he could be switched to 2B in the future if Gennett doesn't pan out.)

Segura since June 1: .259/.289/.346, 73 wRC+

He definitely played badly the second half of last year but I still think the team would overvalue him this year and next if someone would offer them a trade.

Yeah, they would, but his actual value, regardless of the teams' perspective, probably isn't that high. I've been looking at him as a buy low.

You still have Justin Upton at 29 instead of 26. Kind of an unimportant detail but thought I would toss that in.

Are we talking age?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Doing an Orioles dynasty. I found a roster set in the vault that is no OSFM but met all my qualifications (theres only a few prospects missing).

Anyways I am currently in spring training slowly and methodically trimming my roster down to 25. Im currently down to 28 and need to cut a pitcher before the start of the season but everyone is performing. The worst performer has been Bud Norris (Gausman is pitching lights out so i can send him down but i feel like he's definitely earned a spot). Norris is out of options so i want to see if I can work out a deal.

I always take spring training stats with a grain of salt but here are his numbers so far this spring:

2-0 4.76 ERA 19/9 K/BB 17IP 1.47 WHIP

Obviously not great numbers but his SABRs suggest he's still solid:

3.35 ERC 2.35 DIPs (His basic stats are inflated by .348 BIPA)

Despite this id like to give Gausman a shot over him.

The spreadsheet (Unbelievable work guys) says two High Cs and i figure for a desperate team that could potentially be a Low B (I could be wrong but he did fetch Hoes and Hader and Hader I think has upped his stock)

Its hard to see many suitors this early but looking at teams desperate for pitching the list of teams looks something like:

White Sox, Royals, Twins, Angels, Mariners, Rangers (Have 4 Lefty starters in rotation), Phillies, Cubs, Brewers, Rockies, Pads.

Ive eliminated teams that are obviously rebuilding (only included the cubs because Theo is smart but he has made some dome moves to get Starting Pitchers *cough* Edwin Jackson *cough*)

I dont have any position targets but At 2B, OF, and RH Starters need to be very young as they wont have a place for a while.

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this post is too long.

Trying to put together some ideas for when OSFM Drops with the Phillies. Thanks for the spreadsheet guys, that is an awesome resource.

A couple deals I'm thinking of if the Phillies are tanking in my first few months of the franchise:

Cliff Lee to the Dodgers for Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, and Julio Urias. There's no mid A in there but 2 High B prospects and a Mid B. Too much or fair value? Also, I know the dodgers rotation is deep but I think they'd still take a shot with Lee to win a world series.

Jonathan Papelbon for Yonder Alonso - their values line up (Low B) but I'm not sure why the padres would do this. Maybe I could get a few suggestions on who to target for Papelbon.

That's all I've got right now... The high prize to sell off is obviously Lee (or Hamels but he's still somewhat young and can be useful) so is there a better deal out there for Lee? I don't think the Phillies will ever truly have a firesale so I probably wouldn't make a ton of deals in the first year. But anyone have any other suggestions?

could you use norris out of the bullpen. he would be a good option if you have a bullpen spot.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Based on the spreadsheet which is great work by the way. I thought of a trade for my twins.

Would this work?

Give- Nolasco(worth Low B, High C)
Receive- Cosart (worth Low B)

or would I have to give up more as the twins because of Nolascos age and Houston being in a rebuild? Looking for fairness not realism as I know this is no way realistic.

PS. doing this as I can't stand Nolasco

personally think that you would need to trade nolasco to a contender. not many rebuilding teams are going to want him other than as the twins did, free agent signing.

Yeah I thought that might be an issue.

nor would the Astros be willing to give up a young promising piece either

Ive thought about it but he would be a very expensive reliever and I have crazy bullpen depth already but thank you for the suggestion!

The Angels need SP depth. Send Norris there as part of a package for Howie Kendrick?
