MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Especially in The Show since being "hot" or "cold" can be pretty powerful and build a momentum of sorts of it's own. That may not happen the next season, or for the same duration or at the same timing, etc.

Some people wan't to make fair trades in the "Show" world while others want to make trades that could realistically happen in real life. If he is the former, your argument is fine. I was arguing for the ladder.

And I thought my fellow Boston fans were the only ones to over value prospects

Don't worry, Red Sox Nation is still dominant at this, haha.

Kimbrel for Guerra and Margot. Both top 50 prospects.

Are you enjoying the trade of two well-received prospect for a guy vastly outperformed by Fernando Rodney's $2 million free agent deal?

I also didn't really think much of those two, mostly typical Boston guys. Frazier / Zimmer >>>>>>>>>

Then again, I'm wrong. Fernando ****ing Rodney returned Chris Paddack, which is actually almost as much as Kimbrel got, so what the **** do I know?

It wasn't technically for one year of Chapman, it was for an unknown fraction of a year of Chapman.

If he'd gotten a long enough suspension he would've had another year of control tacked on based on his service time, so it was going to be for a year and a half, or a year.

what about Brantley? elite (top 5-6) LFer whose probably done for the season.

Why do you care so much about this board?

I guess - but I don't think you need to ignore what's happening in your franchise to regress a player's production with a smallish track record.

That's pretty much an irl concept. The Show probably doesn't even consider sample size very much in doing what it does to players.

BaseballAmerica says "Indians have a great top tier farm system, quite a few top 100 guys"

Operationsports says "lol indians suck and are racist"

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Is this trade fine to do in my franchise? Keep in mind the way my franchise is going and the players involved aren't the same as in real life.

Traded 3B, Matt Domingez and RP, Daniel Barnes to Cleveland for Josh Tomlin.

Tomlin was pitching to a 3.98 era out of the pen (6 starts, and saw some time in AAA) he is rated 78/C so he likely won't progress anymore. He his 31 and under contact for 2 years at 2.5 per.

Dominguez Has been a monster in AAA and I was about to call him up when I saw he would be a perfect fit in Cleveland. He was hitting .319 with 15 homers (both lead entire AAA league). He has progressed to a 77/C (79 with morale) The Indians are 1 game back of their division and have tons of pitching. They need a 3B bad because they traded Jose Ramirez to Boston earlier in the year and have lost both Chisenhall and Ureshella (spelling) to long term DL injuries.

They really wanted the deal 1-1 but I added a RP with good AA stats to top it off. Again keep in mind this isn't the Dominguez of real it's a nicely progressed 79 overall 3B. A needs swap by 2 playoff contenders.

Thanks!

Indians wouldnt do it. Tomlin has more value to keep than in a trade.

That seems reasonable based on the performances in your franchise. I think adding the second pitcher on your end was a good choice, it's always best to pay a bit more than you want when you aren't sure.

sure did. point still stands. this thread is about being realistic right? indians would find other ways for a 3B or temp 3B than trading Tomlin, he has more value to them than in a trade.

When people give us important information from their chise and tell us they want it based on that chise we go by that instead of real life. He asked fair value not the opinion of an Indians fan that all they would trade a pitcher for is Trout/Harper

from the guy who said the indians dont have an elite farm system when BA disagrees, dont worry, every one knows to throw out your opinion on anything Cleveland.

still laughing at the rangers having a stronger system, one of the funniest things ive seen ever.


who knew the indians considered Tomlin so invalueable they would trade him for a career minor leaguer.

I'm not trying to overstate my own worth, but I'm pretty sure most people on this thread don't just throw out my opinion.


Keith Law did farm system rankings and had Texas two spots ahead of the Indians.


Braves only have 6 in the top 100 in BA's Midseason top 100, so you probably think the Indians are above them too.


Also your reading either suffered or you had a bad link because the Indians have 7 in the top 100 in BA Midseason not 10.


Indians have a good farm system, not elite. I personally don't think a team with around the 10th best system is elite, I tend to think there are more like 3-5 elite farm systems.
