If you are in the hunt for the playoffs, dont trade your best players. Go for mid rotation options.

Also maybe look at Cardinals SP's like Jaime Garcia, Joe Kelly Shelby Miller. All of them won't cost an arm and a leg and shoudl give you quality starts every time.

Sorry, what is GB? Ground ball because of coors?

If you were the Rockies what might you package for Masterson?

Thanks for the input.

David Dahl and Christian Freidrich?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Anybody have any recommendations on which 2b/3b or utility inf that i can trade for with speed? I'm using the Yankees in my franchise, and I primarily like to steal bases with runners on. Solarte, Jeter, and Roberts are OKAY so far, but i'd like a speed guy to change things up.

Ryan Doumit is easily the worst catcher in baseball

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Is there really such a thing as a catcher that's a defensive liability in the game? They don't account for a catcher's ability to receive pitches, and blocking doesn't come into play all that often. The biggest thing is throwing out baserunners, which I don't know how Doumit is rated in that regard.

im not sure on the exact numerical speed rating for these two guys but Leury Garcia from the White Sox or Freddy Galvis from the Phillies?

72 arm strength/66 accuracy isn't very good....but there's better overall catchers with similar ratings throwing out baserunners so yeah the ratings don't really tell the whole story

Hey guys if I'm Toronto who would i have to give up to get Shelby Miller?

Also what are some teams who would take Dickey and what return could i get?

I'd say if you have a second baseman, a CF or some bullpen arms, you could maybe pull off a trade for Shelby.

Nah, throwing out base runners is something like 70% or above who's on the mound, not the catcher. Holding runners seems to be something of a skill.

Doumit cannot block whatsoever though and he can't really hit. Erik Kratz is certainly better.

I hope one day the Show adds a receiving attribute. It's a skill.

You could get Miller+ for Reyes imo.

Also, send Dickey to an NL team for a couple of their top 10 prospects.

Yeah I agree with you. I was talking purely from the game's standpoint. They really dumb down catchers, and controlling the run game in general, in The Show. Maybe as they continue to refine the game, they'll put more of an emphasis on that part of the game.

Sorry for going off-topic a bit. Back to trade talk
