Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Also, Kohl Stewart got hurt in my franchise so someone will need to replace him in the Mesoraco deal. I am looking at Gonsalves or Thorpe.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Just a general FYI, but I don't respond to trade proposals via PM. So if you are PM'ing me about this deal or that deal, I will not respond and you should post it in the thread. It's a slippery slope that I don't want to go down.

Biting him in the butt do to the fact he won't have a chance at a ring this year. Texas isn't winning the ship. Also, how was it the Brewers choice? Lucroy vetoed the deal, not the organization lol

From what i've heard, the Indians were willing to decline Lucroy's 2017 option if the Brewers were willing to take less back in the trade. The Brewers weren't willing to do so, because they could get better packages elsewhere (like Gallo from Texas). That's how its the Brewers choice

Texas has the best record in the AL, and with the addition of Lucroy + any starters they can add, they'd be in prime position to contend for the World Series.

Edit: Thanks GamecocksLaw.

Those are two different people. But yeah no reason to call him a moron

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

They have some value. Just not the right pieces for Myers.

I been thinking about what you said about having to give up something you don't want in order to get a player like Myers. With that being said I have another proposal:

NYM Gets :
Myers

SD Gets:
1 of Rivero/Matz/Ynoa
20 yr old, 62 OVR, 99 potential SP. Just drafted him last year so he's sitting in Single A progressing.
And maybe Conforto ? Since this is 2015 he's a bit different than real life but he's a 72OVR with 89 potential and looks like he's gonna be a big power hitter ( 74 power vs righties and 66 vs lefties. )

Giving away a 99 potential starter def hurts but I feel like that could be the missing piece you were talking about.

Making it sting is good, but dealing away a 99 POT might be a bit too painful? He probably won't get to 99 OVR since he has a long way to go, but what about Conforto + Matz for Myers instead? That way, the Padres are getting a pitcher and are basically replacing Myers with a player not quite as good. And you get your man and save your 99 POT guy. Not necessarily the most realistic deal, but there's something in it for both teams.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I posted this last night but no one really helped me. I am thinking of getting Lucroy in my Stros franchise. What would it take? Gamecocks gave me a little advice but not much. Here's what he said:

Thinking it would involve Reed. The Brewers don't really have an answer a 1st, and Reed could be that. Basically it will hurt but no one would expect you to send Bregman.

Only prospect I don't want to move is Bregman because a.) he is the best prospect in the MLB right now b.) I have more depth (7 top 100 prospects according to Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com) and he is my 3rd baseman of the future. Also I'd like to keep Daz. Anyone else is fair game. I'd prefer to hang on to AJ Reed but I will move him if it's absolutely necessary.

99 POT? That's an upside of being one of the best handful of guys in the game and he might get there. If he has the ratings to handle AA at least, I'd put him there and see if he doesn't do well and get an accelerated timetable as a result.

WTNY is right that it's tough to get there, but it can happen. Raised one of my pitchers from 60 to 99 (in MLB14-15) in my carryover.

If you do that 99 POT pitcher - that would be it. Him and one of those other guys (Conforto or one of the trio). I think that's plenty fair for Myers.

Conforto + one of the trio + a solid B pitching prospect (around 85 POT and bonus if he's closer-to-ready so more "safe" and potentially immediate young help), would be enough. If they want more than that, I'd just look for someone else.

There's "make it hurt" and then there's hurting your organization.

Just wait until Lucroy actually gets dealt in the next 12 hours or so and model your deal after that with the same types of prospects at the same/similar positions. It wouldn't get any more realistic than that. I don't think you would need to include any of the guys you don't want to (Bregman, Reed, Cameron) if the Indians' failed attempt can be used as a template. You're probably looking at a couple of back end Top 100 guys and a couple other decent specs.

I never used to u til recently because t seems this thread gets on one topic and roles with it. Especially the guy who got banned like 5 times and kept coming back, why even respond to that guy? But I do answer PM's and most of my trade evaluations come through private messaging. People helped me with the Mesoraco dea as well as my possible Nunez deal. That's cool
You don't and I will kee that in mind.

You guys are telling me everything I was hoping to hear lol. I wasn't really trying to give away my 99 potential guy but I probably would if I took a couple days to come to terms with it. I've had one 99 potential guy in previous years and I couldn't get him to 99 OVR but that was before I knew about the carry over feature so he does have the possibility to get there. Anyway both of your offers were good I'll see which one will benefit SD more because at the end of the day I want it to be fair on both sides.

As always thank you guys for the help.
