Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

At the all star break in my 30 team control Yankees franchise using the OSFM roster. I wanted you guys opinions on what I would need to give up to get a few of the guys I'm targeting.

1. SP Rich Hill. Stats: 4-10 record, 103.1 IP, 101 SO, 5.75 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, 1.41 WAR. Hill is a guy I really want to acquire as he could be a big boost to my rotation. I'm willing to part with any prospects except Judge and Meteo for him.

2. RP Ryan Madson. Stats: 1-2 record, 46.0 IP, 49 SO, 2.74 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 0.97 WAR.

3. RP Arodys Vizcaino. Stats: 1-1 record, 37.1 IP, 32 SO, 2.65 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 1.04 WAR.

4. CP Jake McGee. Stats: 1-4 record, 25.0 IP, 29 SO, 3.96 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, 0.44 WAR. I would really like to acquire Jake McGee over the other relievers listed here as he's a lefty.

5. CF Charlie Blackmon. Stats: 341 AB, 9 HR, 31 RBI, 270 AVG, 314 OBP, 1.41 WAR.

I'm likely looking to acquire 2 of these guys. Preferably Hill and McGee. If any other stats are needed let me know. Any feedback is appreciated.

How is a guy who is 4-10 with a 5.75 ERA a "big boost to your rotation"? With him performing like that, you could get him for cheap but it would be unrealistic because you are taking advantage of ratings.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Tmizzle, the catcher thing is tough. Mesoraco and Lucroy shouldn't be traded in your game universe because they are playing bad. If they played better, the respective teams could get way more. They would be selling very low. Swiharr is the same deal, but a prospect (kinda). The Red Sox could give up on him if they see an offer that they don't think Swihart can become because they are panicking. I would look at the Wil Myers trade for reference, but give less because Swihart isn't close to where Myers was.

Pitching like that, Pomeranz would be a prime trade candidate. Go for him and find someone close to Espinoza's value. Or pay less for Corbin, but not too much less. He is pitching pretty similar to Pomeranz and is also controllable. You would need to pay up for either.

In my opinion, it would be unrealistic to trade a player in one position and make a trade for one as well, even if they weren't in the same trade. The most realistic option is to either bench Rendon and either use some internal help or trade for a new 2B/3B. But I don't think it would be realistic to trade Rendon. He still has value but you shouldn't sell low on players as it is very unrealistic. So like I said, either call up someone or trade for someone.

Because ERA and Wins are not a good measure of a pitcher.

Devin isn't playing bad he was just hurt.

Your probaly right, I'll pass on Hill then. Can you give me your opinion on what I need to give up to get Jake McGee? That's probaly the guy I want most then.

You already have Miller/Betances/Chapman, why do you need another reliever? But we literally just saw his value this offseason, basically Corey Dickerson for McGee. Problem is you don't have a "Corey Dickerson". He's also a rental.

Anyways, probably gonna need to do Kaprielian. He isn't a top-100 prospect and has some injury stuff, but probably would intrigue the Rox

Hmm I think I would be willing to do that. I will probaly have to think about it for a bit before I actually pull the trigger on that though but at the moment I think I like it. I could see myself trying to retain McGee in the offseason if he does well.

Chapman hasn't been doing all that well for me. Miller and Batances? They have been great. Chapman? Not so much. This isn't really something that just started recently so I'm not just looking for a new relief arm over a few bad relief appereances. Besides maybe doing the McGee deal I'll probaly just stick what I have i geuss.

Thanks for the response.

Ratings are like projections - if a player is performing far below them, it's reasonable to expect them to perform more in line with them going forward, barring evidence to the contrary.

So if his ratings are strong and point to him being a solid pitcher (I don't know what his ratings are), I could see him paying his "real value" because he's not paying for the 5.75 ERA he put up before, but the possibly better, more-in-line-with-ratings performance going forward, which he hopes would be worth whatever he'd have to deal.

Of course, if he does go cheaper, that's happened. Teams can sell low/give up on a player that might just be ripe for a bounce back - but if they can get something that seems more imminent (or promising), they make the move.

Anyway, I guess I'm saying that he wouldn't/shouldn't necessarily go "cheap" because of current performance if he has ratings that would seem to point to a probable bounce back.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Well I'm in 2018 with the Padres and after a 5-18 July so far and I'm at 7/31 right now the Padres sit at 47-59. Went from on the outside looking in for the Wild Card to in another state. I'm 9.0 GB in the WC race and it's unrealistic I make a run. I'm 17.5 GB in the division and my team isn't talented enough to compete.

Anyways: I want to move 3B Yangervis Solarte who can also play 1B/2B/SS/LF/RF. He's 30 years old making $3.4M this season with one more year of arbitration. He's having a decent season with an uptick in power and a drop in BA.

2018 stats: .246/.296/.421 with 16 HR and 51 RBI in 390 AB's
He's played 152+ games each season the past 3 years and rated 86

Texas Rangers 3B situation:
Kyle Kubitza (27 yrs old 76 OVR) - .148/.234/.258 with 4 HB 14 RBI
Adrian Beltre (39 yrs old 70 OVR) - .254/.287/.405 with 7 HR 23 RBI - regressed hard
*Nobody in minors to step up*

Cleveland Indians 3B situation:
Giovanny Urshela (28 yrs old 77 OVR) - .213/.297/.293 with 4 HR 19 RBI
Yandy Diaz (26 yrs old 69 OVR) - .256/.369/.385 with 3 HR 14 RBI
*No MiLB ready*

Chicago Cubs 2B situation:
Ben Zobrist (35 yrs old 75 OVR) - .247/.356/.294 in 86 AB with 0 HR - regressed hard
They have Javy Baez and Tim Beckham who can play but Solarte is a clear upgrade. Baez is a career .212 hitter with 14 career HR and a 74 OVR.

Nationals SS situation:
Trea Turner (24 yrs old 76 OVR) - .217/.269/.310 with 1 HR (4 career in 456 AB)
Murphy is struggling at 2B and is 33
Zimmerman is doing poorly at 1B as well.

The Nats have the worst offense by far. 25th in run scored, 24th in BA, 26th in HR, 27th in SLG%. They have a 3.0 game lead on the Mets in the NL East. Their pitching is clearly leading them to victories so some extra pop in the lineup would be huge. Right now this feels like the best spot for Solarte.

The Nats could also use an upgrade at closer as they are rolling with a rookie, Billy Lopez (74 OVR B POT). He's doing pretty well with a 4.19 ERA and 16/17 saves, but I have Brandon Maurer (78 ovr 27 yrs old) who was just overtaken by a stud young guy in my organization. Maurer is responding with a solid season as he's posted a 3.09 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 35 IP (15 bb 27 k). Maurer has 75 careers saves to his name.

I could also throw in 34 yr old veteran Carlos Villanueva who has a great 1.88 ERA and 0.67 WHIP in 24 IP.

Some guys I like from WAS:

SP Reynaldo Lopez (25 yrs old in AAA with a 4.53 ERA and 1.42 WHIP - 73 OVR B POT)
3B Carter Kieboom (20 yrs old in AAA with .269 avg 5 HR 26 RBI - 67 OVR B POT)
CF Victor Robles (20 yrs old on the MLB Squad but hasn't played - 70 OVR C POT)
SS Trea Turner (24 yrs old and as stated above he's not playing too well. Great glove, poor bat)

Does a deal with the Nats seem feasible?
