MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Completely understandable haha, I think Webster, Ranaudo, Lavarnway for Shark is plausible if OP wants he could do Barnes instead of Ranaudo but just from a Red Sox stand point i think they would like to hang onto Barnes. Shark is 2 B's and a C if i am remembering correctly so that should be able to factor out even though some people think more highly on Webster than most Sox fans because of his control.

If for some some reason the Sox can get by without including Owens, I'd have to think Webster, Barnes, and Lavarnway would be the next option..1 high-B+1-mid-B+2 low-B's+2 high-C's would be what's going to Chi...that's why I'd be steadfast on Owens being the centerpiece instead of either Barnes or Webster

If that is what it takes without Owens then i think the Sox would jump all over that, i don't think Owens is trade-able unless it is for a huge name talent.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Oh i almost forgot... I may end up trading castro at some point to make room for baez so what kind of value can i expect to get in return?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I was lookin to get some more pitching... Do you think i could pry sonny gray from oakland? Or how about the rays with moore/archer/cobb/odirizzi/hellickson?

no I don't think the A's would give up Gray..especially with the way our rotation looks.....Moore and Archer are on team-friendly contracts so I don't think they'd be moved.....I think the most likely name out of that group to be moved is Hellickson

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Slight overpay value wise for you but you're acquiring a young lefty starter with proven MLB experience so that's valuable itself.

Hunter Morris is a nice 1B replacement so he'd have to be included. I guess the Yankees would like Jimmy Nelson over Taylor Jungmann as he's closer to the majors and maybe another arm like Ariel Pena instead of Weeks.

Mitch Moreland and Justin Smoak would be a cheaper options for you. Or sign Kendrys Morales?

I definitely will have to think about Smoak, every time I've ever played with the M's in the Show it seems like Smoak plays like Tex-Lite at least in game. The only reason I would add Weeks to the deal for Tex is salary reasons, I know he wouldn't really have an effect on the team if they were willing to trade Tex in the first place.

So if I gathered this right a better deal for Tex (if I do go for him) might be:

Morris, Nelson, Pena + Weeks (if it would make sense to do it for salary.) for Tex.

On the Miley front I think the Brewers would overpay for a guy like him who could potentially pitch at a #3 maybe borderline #2 level if they could use him as their #5.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Yea i didnt thinks so on the Gray front... I was thinking maybe Castro to the giants for some package involving Hembree or maybe Kickham from San Fran, any ideas?

They really like Brandon Crawford, I don't think they'll want Starlin. How about the Mets?

Agree with you that The Smoak Monster usually plays good in the game. There's sort of a logjam at 1B/DH in Seattle as well making him expendable.

You're right on Morris, Nelson, Pena (and Weeks) for Teixeira. I'd probably add a low C guy coming back from the Yankees as well since you still have to divide everything into two separate deals. Doesn't matter what player, grab someone half decent at a low C that you think fits.

Agree with what you said on Miley

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Playing a franchise as the Cubs and got an offer from San Diego. Wisler/Fried for Samardzija. I know Fried is out of the question, and Wisler is an A potential. Would it be realistic to keep Wisler in the package and find a C to package with him? Im looking for either relief pitching or another starter to bring over. Any ideas?

That other C pitcher could be Nick Vincent (RP), Joe Wieland (SP) or Burch Smith (SP).

May I suggest putting Hundley in the deal as well to give you a solid backup at C to Castillo?

I think it's fair for the Cubs to be asking for Wisler as a part of the package.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I cannot wait to start my Pads Franchise here soon, and I really like their team in general, as it is now, and their farm. I'm not a huge fan of some of the contracts they've signed in Maybin, Jedd, and Hundley, but I'll make do.

The only trade I'm debating, as of right now, is one involving the Cardinals and Everth Cabrera. I thought Cabrera would warrant a bit more than a High C, since he's still relatively cheap (contact wise), but like all of my Franchise's...I overrate my players, haha.

But I really think James Ramsey (AA - Cardinals) would be a good fit in Petco. Does this seem like a fair deal (or too much/little) for Cabrera?

I'd really love to get a trade (going) involving Wong or Carlos Martinez, but I don't see that as being too realistic. Plus, Wong isn't a huge need - just like as a player.

Looking closer at it, I do agree that Cabrera should be a low B. He's 27 years old, hits for a decent average, has some modest pop and can run lwith the best of them. Ben Revere is 26 years old and brings the same type of speed and decent average. We had him as a low B so it's only fair that Cabrera gets the same value.

To answer your question, yes, I do think that Cabrera for Ramsey is fair. I'd rate them both as low B's.

I'd really love to get a trade (going) involving Wong or Carlos Martinez, but I don't see that as being too realistic. Plus, Wong isn't a huge need - just like as a player.

You're right, neither player is a realistic trade target. I consider C-Mart more untouchable than Wong.

If you trade for Wong, you'd have to include Headley. Matter of fact, in our spreadsheet, their values pretty much makes a perfect fit.

Moving Wong would allow the Cards to play Carpenter at 2B and Headley at 3B. I'm assuming you'd want to play Gyorko at 3B and Wong at 2B?

To expand the deal a bit...Headley and Cabrera for Wong, Ramsey and a lesser arm like Seth Maness? (Imagine the Cards lineup after a deal like that!)

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm going to be using the spreadsheet as a guide for trade fairness with 30 team control... One quick question.

How can you tell if a prospect is a high A, B, C etc. vs. a mid/low A, B, C?
