Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

No one put together a spreadsheet. I have some ideas. Nobody's gonna like them, but they'll work.

Also gonna need volunteers who don't mind simulating like 30 seasons.

Let me know what you need. I'm "working" from home the next month or so, I'll have some free time.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

In my Rays Franchise are the following trades ok:
Desmond Jennings -Jace peterson?
Desmond Jennings- Wilson Ramos?
Desmond Jennings- Kelby Tomlinson?
Desmond Jennings and Logan morrison- Zack Cosart or Eugenio Suarez?

the AI would do all these trades Im just wondering if they are fair

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Playing with the A's, looking at two trades closer to the deadline

OAK gets: 1B C. Santana
CLE gets: 3B R. Nunez (B potential), 1B R. Ravelo (C)

OAK gets: SP Z. Wheeler
NYM gets: SP D. Driver (B), CF J. Higley (B), 1B Y. Alonso (71 overall)


I'm currently 21-21 (4th in AL West), Cleveland is 17-23 (5th), and New York is 20-20 (2nd)

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Red Sox Franchise. I really want to unload one of Pablo or Hanley's Contracts. I understand I am going to have to take on a bad contract in return preferably a pitcher. Thinking one of them plus a B prospect for a pitcher. Anyone have suggestions on who that Pitcher could be and maybe a prospect that it would make sense to attach to the two albatrosses. Thanks.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Does anyone have a recommendation for young - high prospect catchers? Preferably power hitter and good fielder. Looking for stros franchise. Thank you.

Phillies have Alfaro. They acquired him in the Hammels trade, so I'm not sure how realistic it is that they'd move him.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Thinking about trading for Ross or Cashner as the Astros. Not a fan of Fiers in the game; I can't seem to pitch with him.

What would they require in return? Also willing to trade for both of them since I could just move Fister to the bullpen. Willing to move almost anybody (No AJ Reed, no Tyler White, reluctant on Bregman but will).

Ross would probably require more than Cashner. Maybe 1 low-mid B prospect, 1 mid-high B prospect, and possibly a lesser piece. (I don't have the game open right now so i can't look at specific prospects)

ALSO, Jake Marisnick could be a very realistic piece in a Ross/Cashner trade. I believe Ross has more contract length than Cashner, so that fits. Marisnick is talented, B potential guy that doesn't get enough playing time on the 2016 Astros and would be a great long term fit in San Diego.
Now, if you want to keep him for when Rasmus/Gomez leave, that's a consideration.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

An ugly contract swap seems like the most likely scenario with Ellsbury, but not for Choo. Texas already has Delino Deshields in center with a similar skillset as Ellsbury.
Texas wouldn't move Gallo for a prospect. Even Judge/Mateo. High profile prospect-for-prospect swaps almost never happen due to the extreme uncertainty.
Best case to move Ellsbury is probably a bad contract swap with a couple prospects involved.
Ellsbury's contract is long and expensive, so this is a tough one.
For example, Shields is logical, but his contract is shorter and less expensive than Ellsbury's (I believe?).
Trading Ellsbury is.... Difficult.

You don't have to tell me, I've been trying to trade him since we signed him, haha. I toyed around with the idea of a Shields + Upton Jr for Ellsbury possibility last year and almost pulled the trigger on it.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

How fair do you guys think this trade is? (30 team control)

LAA:
- OF Coco Crisp
- 1B Billy Butler

OAK:
- SP C.J. Wilson

The Angels are currently a mess at 1B/DH (whatever one Pujols isn't playing) as well as LF (Nava has been okay but Gentry has been terrible). The A's currently have a rotation of Gray-Hill-Bassitt-Alvarez-Graveman but could use an upgrade. It's essentially a swap of bad contracts that also helps fill a need or two on each team.

C.J. Wilson: 5-8, 3.94 ERA, 81 IP, 72 K's, 1.20 WHIP

Billy Butler: .260/.310/.417, 8 HR, 43 RBI
Coco Crisp: .243/.326/.380, 4 HR, 32 RBI, 10 SB

The players who would be replaced...

Daniel Nava: .257/.330/.409, 5 HR, 21 RBI (playing only vs RHP)
C.J. Cron: .183/.247/.360, 2 HR, 10 RBI
Craig Gentry: .167/.263/.296, 1 HR, 8 RBI (playing only vs LHP)

Chris Bassitt: 6-4, 4.43 ERA, 78 IP, 75 K's
Kendall Graveman: 4-4, 4.50 ERA, 74 IP, 62 K's

The Angels currently have a rotation of Richards-Weaver-Wilson-Heaney-Skaggs with Shoemaker/Santiago ready to replace Wilson. The A's could call up Smolinski/Lambo to help replace Butler/Crisp.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would it take for me to get either Joc Peterson or Billy Hamilton if I try to trade for them using Charlie Blackmon as a trade piece?

Any thoughts on this? I figure trying for Hamilton is a bit of a stretch.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What value would I have to add to a lucroy trade to the Astros for Castro, singleton, and marisnick?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would the Mets want back from Boston for Wheeler?
I'm not sure what Wheelers value is anymore. Not to say he doesn't have value just that I dont know what it is.

Considering we were going to trade Wheeler+Flores in return for Carlos Gomez LAST season, I would say his value is still pretty high.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hi guys, I'm looking to start a franchise and looking to rebuild the Tigers. Dombrowski has made some bad moves and the team is just not in a place to make a run for the title. Having said that, im willing to move The following for prospects. Looking for any advice on what to look in return for them.

SP Justin Verlander
1B Miguel Cabrera
CP Francisco Rodriguez
2B Ian Kinsler
SP Anibal Sanchez
1B Victor Martinez
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia

Yes, it's basically a fire sale and unrealistic I know. Looking for the right return in prospects for each, thanks in advance guys!
