Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Speaking of the twins, whats doziers value

[Buccosback]

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Here are the trades i made with the pirates:

Twins receive: Daniel Hudson, Josh Harrison and a top prospect (using some roster from the vault)

Pirates Receive: Brian Dozier, Miguel Sano, Jorge Polanco

i know this trade is a steal but for some reason the cpu wanted to do it. bad trade logic. i was only looking for Dozier or Sano. Twins were out of contention and ended up 66-96

Pirates Acquire: RP Josh Edgin
Mets Acquire: 3B David Freese, 2 prospects Mets finished 9 games out of WC spot

Pirates acquire: Derek Dietrich
Marlins acquire: Will Craig, Yeudy Garcia, another prospect Marlins finished 16 out of WC spot

Pirates Acquire: RP Andrew Chafin
Diamondbacks acquire: RP Antonio Bastardo, prospect Diamondbacks finished 14 out of WC spot

i feel like these three are somewhat realistic. I also made a spring training trade to get Cam Bedrosian from the Angels but i can't remember who i traded for him.

My 1-7 in the lineup all had double digit home runs

CF Marte
RF McCutchen
SS Kang
2B Dozier
1B Dietrich
3B Sano
LF Polanco
C Cervelli

In the offseason i signed cutch until he is 37 and Cole until he is 34. This lineup is my starting lineup in 2018 too.

so in 2018 so far I traded Josh Phegley for Alex Avila

my bullpen was struggling so

Pirates acquire: Jonathon Broxton
Cardinals acquire: Josh Edgin

Pirates Acquired: Brad Boxberger, prospect
Rays acquire: Cam Bedrosian

here is the blockbuster trade:

Mets acquire: Tyler Glasnow, Alex Avila
Pirates acquire: Steven Matz, Kevin Plawecki, prospect

I currently sit .5 games up in the wildcard. my offense is producing for the most part. my bullpen is underperforming still and Nova has been subpar along with Cole.

It is July 30th, what should i do?

Rotation:
Cole-93
Matz-88
Taillon-80
Kuhl-82
Nova-82

Bullpen:
Schugel-79
Rivero-79
Nicasio-81 (struggling)
Chafin-77 (struggling)
Boxberger-81 (struggling)
Broxton -82
Watson-87

Lineup:
Marte-89
MCCUTCHEN-87
KANG-79
SANO-86 (struggling)
POLANCO-92
DOZIER-86
DIETRICH-77
CERVELLI-83

Bench:
Plawecki-75
Jaso-73
Mercer-69
Jorge Polanco-76
Gosselin-74

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Im doing an online franchise with my buddies. I am going to be the braves and try to make them a winner. I am curious by 2018 deadline time I am considering dealing Freeman if we are still sellers. I wonder what haul he would get back.

Not sure if anyone has approached this yet. From a Braves fan, there would be a cold day in hell before we let Freeman go. But say it happens, knowing and following trades from Coppy(our GM), it would have to be a serious haul. If we are selling and our rebuild has failed, we would keep doing what we are doing and it would probably take 2 high potential pitching prospects, plus either a top 3B or C top prospect or both, plus a MLB ready starter. Cash would probably be included, not that that matters here. And probably more. The trade would obviously have to happen with a contender who has a great farm system, not sure there too many options out there. Freddie is a god in Atlanta and who I think is a future MVP. They only way we would let him go is if he hit a serious slump (talking mendoza line and 8 HRs lol) or if our plan completely failed and we blow it up again, which is possible but a trade in that scenario probably wouldn't happen until 2019 or 20.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

He had a great year last year and is probably somewhere around #5-8 1B in the league, but that's a big haul. (For those curious I think Goldy, Miggy, Rizzo, Votto still easily rank ahead of him)

Being a non-Braves fan, I dont think I would pay anywhere near that for him. He's got a decent contract so that helps a little bit as well. Maybe a couple B's and a C?

I was trying to give a realistic haul for the original question, in the game, you could get him for way less. And probably a little less in real life, my point was if he wanted it realistic, it would take a lot more than it what they would you could get away with in the game. I haven't messed around too much with trades in the game, I was just giving him a perspective from an ATLien, It would take a lot to get Freddie away from us. The MLB ready starter would probably be a stretch I will admit, isn't consistant with my logic of the trade partner having to be a contender, so replace that with another prospect. But we aren't in the business of trading for low to mid level prospects unless we are trading away a no-name, most prospects in the deal would have to be fairly top notch.

Reds trades: Year Two

1. Get Wil Myers for Winker, Aristides Aquino, & SP Manzanillo(2As 1 B)
2. Get Adam Eaton for Adam Duvall, Eugenio Suarez & Leury Garcia

Good move? Bad move? Realistic?

Myers is a 1st baseman so it makes no sense. And the second trade is really bad. Eaton was just traded for Giolito, Lopez and Dunnsing

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

My hometown team is Miami I love them but Im also a HUGE cardinals fan and once OSFM rosters drop Im looking to start one with the cards.

Im looking to get some speed and thought of dee gordon would that be possible?

Cardinals have ton of pitching to offer which Marlins lack and Cardinals can use an everyday 2B. If not any other suggestions to get a speedy guy? maybe jonathan villar?

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

As the Atlanta Braves, what would it take to get SP Chris Archer from the Rays?

Probably Ozzie Albies I would think.

Given the reputation of Miami, anyone making more than the league minimum can be had. I would expect Alex Reyes to be the target, though--elite prospect on an injury discount with cost control. That's coming from someone still iffy on Weaver, who also has to make sure Dee Gordon gets his fair value on a bargain contract through 2020 with an option.

What's more, I think STL is fine running a platoon of Wong and Gyorko. I think a better plan would be trying to get an OF with speed, preferably one who could move Piscotty (whose arm rates badly in RF) to left and let Grichuk be a reserve OF (30% K rate and .289 OBP don't cut it for me as a starter).

As a flexible solution, you could MAYBE look at Chris Owings. He probably isn't corner OF-qualified in this game, but ARI is trying him in RF now and they seem to have trouble getting him into the lineup because of other players.

Plus Allard plus more. Archer costs around the same as Sale

Whats doziers value and what would it cost to get archer in Colorado

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

This offseason the value was DeLeon plus. So a 55FV pitcher seems like the floor. But there would need to be another decent prospect thrown on top. Just depends on which team is targeting Dozier

My best guess on Archer is Rodgers or Dahl plus Pint plus another piece like Marquez or Tapia. Its going to be really expensive.

Weren't they talking about him in the same sort of terms as that proposed Astro's/Quintana trade? Martes, Paulin and Fisher I think was the offer (number 19, 52 and 80 on the top 100 prospect list)
