Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

They aren't comparable. One is an established star and the other hasn't completed one year of service time.

So a team should never consider trading established players for prospects. Got it.

You know that isn't what I said. If you read my post the page before you will see that. Clearly established players are traded for prospects. I am saying McCutcheon has substantially more value than Conforto

Nobody is arguing that. You asked how they are comparable, I answered. I neither said, nor implied, they had the same value. Just the factors that are considered in a hypothetical trade.

Same as any other potential trades: ability, potential, control, age and cost.

Conforto's ability and potential are not comparable to McCutchen's even remotely

No, they are comparable. They are in no way close to equal, but they are comparable.

They're comparable in a way that Joe Ross compares to Jacob DeGrom. They are both baseball players. The ceilings are much different though

Even the biggest NYM fan cannot honestly say they see an 8+ WAR season in Conforto's future

And where exactly did anyone say that they do see that?

I'm not going to spend time debating semantics. A reasonable evaluation of Conforto would suggest an upper first division starter upside and Andrew McCutchen has been a superstar for many years now.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So I am in year 1 of my 'chise with the Rockies, and honestly, I want Reyes gone. However, I want a fair trade done, but its very hard with his huge salary. I checked the trade block after I put Reyes on it, and the Cardinals were a team interested. Here is what I came up with:

Rockies Get:
Jake Thompson SP
Carlos Ruiz C

Cardinals get:
Jose Reyes SS
Chris Nelson 3B
C Jackson Williams

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I think if you replace Reyes with Howard (he only has one year left right?) it's fair.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

In my mariners franchise I want to get rid of Taijuan Walker because I'm horrible with him. He is 23 years old 83 ovr with a high B potential. Who is a young up and coming middle of the lineup type guy I can trade for Walker?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So in my Rockies franchise, I was thinking of doing a Charlie Blackmon and Jake marisnik swap but I dont know what sort of prospect to give the Astros in return.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So really trying to get rid of Reyes in my Chise. Looking for some pitching either bullpen or rotation? Saw that Saint Louis was shopping Leake, was debating Leake and Flaherty for Reyes. Thoughts?

Lol. Haven't stopped by this thread much yet (roster editing portion of the season), but I am guessing getting rid of Jose Reyes is already a theme? Basically, you trade him for another bad contract. No other way. Certainly not getting value for a suspended, declining, overpaid player.

What kind of haul could the Brewers get for Lucroy from the Astros? Willing to trade MLB talent such as Valbuena, Gattis, Marisnick, Castro. Open to all prospects except Tyler White or AJ Reed.

If not Lucroy, who else could you see the Astros targetting, assuming it's before the season starts and they want to trade for an All-Star catcher.

Brewers wouldn't be giving up Lucroy if they wanted MLB talent. AC made a proposal of Martes + Singleton that makes sense because it spares the 1B spects that you want to keep and fills a long term need for the Brewers at 1B.

Looking to trade Erick Aybar in my Braves franchise before the season starts. I'm thinking of trading with the Rays for Jonny Venters. What else could I get in return? Looking for position player to come back with Venters.

Trade him before he even plays a game in Atlanta?

Venters? Maybe get back Brandon Guyer or Brad Miller along with him.

As the Tigers, looking to gain either a decent reliever or a solid bat off the bench at the deadline.

Main prospect I'm looking to unload is Steven Moya, you guys think he could fetch anyone decent?

Was thinking Padres for Matt Thornton. I know Thornton old as dirt, but Moya is pretty much blocked at the moment and I like Gerber and Stewart as prospects better and I'm trying to build that bullpen for a playoff push.

Padres would take that. Moya could get you a really good 7th inning option or a pretty good 8th inning option or a bargain closer.

Mets fans...how would you feel about this trade being offered to you by the Pirates:

Andrew McCutchen for Michael Conforto & Zack Wheeler

I would feel that the cpu needs to put the bottle down and stop drinking.
