Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I disagree. I've seen Tate rated as high as #18 (MLB.com or BA). In most places, no lower than 30. While I am a Texas fan, I try to remain unbiased. And I think a top 30 player, plus Profar, is simply too much for a 30 yr old catcher. Three years ago Profar was the top prospect in baseball. And it wasn't a lack of production that made him somewhat fall off the grid. It was injuries. And, he appears to be healthy now.

I get what you're saying but we are talking about a catcher who could very realistically accrue more than 10 WAR over 2016 and 2017 while only costing $9.2 million combined. A healthy productive Lucroy is a huge asset and will cost a fortune

Thought this was funny. Check out what Lucroy says about big city's

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I could see the Pirates going after him.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So what would be the most realistic package for Lucroy for the mets?
Something like:
D'arnaud
Rosario
Wheeler

I don't really think there is one. Lucroy doesn't like the city and the Mets aren't going to meet the asking price on a guy sure to bolt in 1.5 years time. Check out the post 2 posts above yours. I think you'd want to re-phrase as "most fair".

Chris Withrow has been fantastic for me. 15.2 IP 0 Runs allowed 10.34 K/9. He could be had for pretty cheap.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I wish it was the trade deadline so Lucroy can finally be traded, which I think he will be, so we all will know what his value is. A lot of fans don't want to give up top prospects for players. They feel their team will never trade thease players to get a top catcher. Which is fine. We all do it. I am just having a hard time trying to trade Lucroy in my franchise b/c I want to be fair & realistic. I really like the Rangers & Red Sox prospects. Ive read guys like Gallo or Brinson or Tate or Moncada or etc. would never be included. So I have no idea what to offer. I will probably just come up with one where I think is fair b/c again this is just a video game. It's meant to have fun & not letting my OCD get in the way😀

FTR, I never implied that the Rangers wouldn't trade one of their top prospects in a deal for Lucroy. I just seriously doubt they would trade two. Or Profar + a top prospect.

Brewers wanted Mazara/Brinson, Luis Ortiz and one of our young SS's....

In mid June right now as Detroit. Probably out of the race but I'm gonna wait until the week after the all star game to reevaluate. James McCann is hitting. 320 with 5 hr and 26rbi, and 1.81war. At this rate what kind of value does he have? I'm completely fine with resigning Salty because of his switch hitting and picking up something for mccann.

It depends on what his potential in game is, but I'd say a either one pitching prospect with a potential of 81-84, or two prospects, one High C, one Low C.

Realistically, if you sell him to a team in desperate need of a Starting Catcher, you could get that Mid-B prospect. But if it's a team that just needs depth or backup, probably the C prospects.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I swear I've ran way too many franchises this year, but I kinda like this trade for both teams:

Braves Get:
Wil Myers

Padres Get:
Julio Teheran

Both teams rebuilding, both players fit a need. Braves want a young ARB to pre-ARB RH power threat, Padres need pitching. They traded Tyson Ross right before this move to the Red Sox for Owens and a few other prospects. Wil Myers goes to LF for the Braves, I'll figure out something with Olivera later, probably keep him and see how he plays.

Not nearly enough for the Braves...

I dont think that the Padres would be willing to give up Wil Myers if he is playing anywhere near to what he is rn, what are their stats?

I'd say he definitely has a low b value with those stats, at least. What teams are contending and need a catcher?
