Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

How much do you guys think Mike Olt costs if he's sucking? And what about Edwin Jackson?

Low B for Olt and High C for Jackson with both being pitchers?

Who is most realistic to be traded between: Cespedes, Kemp, Bruce

Well, Kemp's contract is horrible (so thats sure as heck going to eliminate a lot of teams from acquiring him) right off the bat, therefore I imagine he is going to be the most unrealistic.

Cespedes seems to be the second most realistic, but would the A's really part with him now?

Bruce is having a bit of a rough season, and the Reds aren't doing too well. Granted that's taking real life MLB in to play, but I can't see the Dodgers trading Kemp specifically because of his contract, and Cespedes seems too valuable to the A's, therefore Bruce, to me, seems the most realistic to be traded.

I traded Edwin Jackson to Anaheim for 2 High C players I believe (can't remember who exactly I got). He had a 3.80ish ERA for me when I dealt him in July.

Olt is tough to judge. He didn't hit at all for me, but he's rated decently well, and he's still young and controllable. I would say probably a pair of C's.

Well I'm the Mets, so if they really wanted to they could take on Kemps contract.

Ugh, I really want Jackson but I doubt there's room in my rotation for him. I'm gonna send Chase DeJong (low B) and Kyle Drabek (probably high C) for Olt. I REALLY want Olt because of the platoon opportunities he gives me with Lind, Lawrie and a guy I'm claiming off of waivers.

Out of curiosity who is in your rotation and who is the claim?

Dickey/Morrow/Buehrle/Miley/Hutchison with Stroman, Nolin and Sanchez waiting, and the claim is Jeff Keppinger, who was recently DFA'd. I'm going to be doing positional and handedness platoons involving Kepp, Olt, Lawrie, Lind, Navarro, and Kratz.

I'll be starting this file tomorrow or so and starting a dynasty on it so all the planning has to be done soon lol.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Trades I just made in my Rays franchise.

Ryan Hanigan has been traded back to the Reds for Bryan Pena. I had to get rid of Hanigan. Had to. He was killing me at the bottom of the order. I went through so many scenarios to acquire a catcher and he was the best I could do in a one-for-one.

I also acquired Andre Ethier from the Dodgers for Tim Beckham. I sent Kevin Kiermaier back to Triple-A. Also sent Sean Rodriguez to Triple-A and called up Wilson Betemit. Rodriguez was batting .056 in a part time role. Brutal. David DeJesus will now serve a bench role. Had him as my leadoff hitter and he has 13 hits in 50 at-bats but no RBI.

The two trades have really allowed me to better balance the lineup with some more lefties. It was very right handed heavy. Here is my lineup now.

1. Desmond Jennings , CF (L)
2. Ben Zobrist, 2B (S)
3. Andre Ethier, LF (L)
4. Evan Longoria, 3B (R)
5. James Loney, 1B (L)
6. Wil Myers, RF (R)
7. Matt Joyce, DH (L)
8. Bryan Pena, C (S)
9. Yunel Escobar, SS (R)

Haha interesting. You really don't have room in your rotation and you kinda seem to be developing platoon splits that would make Bob Melvin proud!

Im always curious to see how people put together teams.

Again out of curiosity what else do you have to plan?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Still thinking of potential trades for my chise....

Like the idea of getting Smoak that Totte suggested a while back and I'm wondering if I could get Ackley in that deal aswell? I also don't really like Scooter Gennett personally and I know he could be possibly dealt to the Jays.

Brewers Get: Smoak+Ackley & Drabek/Buehrle(he might be to much for Scooter, not sure)

Mariners Get: Hunter Morris, Mitch Haniger, Ariel Pena

Jays Get: Scooter Gennett

Would really like to make a three team deal like this if I could, just would like suggestions if I don't have the values matched right.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Beginning on my online franchise. Two teams want to pull this deal:

Milwaukee Brewers Get:

C Jordan Pacheco
2B Josh Rutledge
RP Scott Oberg

Colorado Rockies Get:

C Martin Maldonado
SP Jimmy Nelson
RP Rob Wooten

What do you guys think? Fair

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What would I be able to get for Jon Jay? Just looking to trade him away.

Maldonado is a decent backup catcher but Pacheco is more valuable by far. Rockies should probably get another High C, because Wooten isn't worth much either

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So in my Reds franchise I traded

Ismael Guillon, Chris Heisey, and Skip Schumaker to the Padres for Cameron Maybin.
