Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Too much for Cutch. He's worth a really good prospect not an elite one. I think AC calculated his value at $58 million

I get that but I was just stunned that a team would offer me an A prospect plus a high C prospect for Cutch and I didn't have to take on a bad contract, but I also do believe Cutch was having an MVP type of year

Let us know what his stats are and maybe he's worth that big a package.

And Hampshire, that deal seems good to me. The potential of Harvey should be enticing enough

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

We all know I'm an O's fan (maybe you couldn't tell by the big bird beneath my user id) and I brought this type of trade up earlier but it didn't really get worked out and now I've changed it a little so...

BAL - J. Marisnick + C. Moran

HOU - H. Harvey

'B' arm for a player and a maybe/should be. Don't want to be a homer but I think I'm there...thoughts?

I think its a good trade, but do you really need Marisnick. Don't the O's have 4 OF's.

Yeah but none of them can "go get it". Helps a little this year with a very poor defensive OF but next year, Jake takes over in CF (I don't care if he doesn't hit, I have plenty of bats) and Jones moves to RF to start saving what he has left in his career (I will retire him as an O). Let Hardy walk next year and move Manny over to SS to show him I really want him in Baltimore with Moran taking over at 3B (again, I don't need him to hit, just man the hot corner).

Harvey has the projectable talent but also has a small frame and has show injury concerns. Time to let another club take a crack at him. Maybe he develops, maybe he doesn't but I don't think I'm asking a lot from HOU to take the risk. Also helps with their farm depth as Mr. Gammons has told us HOU really, really wants Archer.

I think you should add a C prospect to that deal to make it a little bit more fair. Thats just my opinion, but otherwise its a good deal. And who is your 4th OF

I can do that. As I said before, I prefer to tax myself for personal trades and will find a suitable, young AA farm hand with C POT to include in the deal (the infamous PTBNL). IRL, I'd even consider an international bonus slot.

I'm slightly confused as to "your" 4th OF. If you're talking BAL, I'll keep Kim and probably just add a vet FA for next year if needed. If you're asking for HOU, Fisher or Hernandez are really close and should be able to fill in this year (I'll wait until the deadline to make this deal) and D. Cameron is on a fast track for late '18.

Let's get another deal working and get some of the noise in the rear view mirror.

What I mean is that you have Kim, Jones, and Seth Smith as your starting OF's. Who is you OF off of the bench. Since Trumbo is your DH, Davis plays 1B, and Mancini is your backup 1B/DH who is your go to OF late in the game if you need

Gotcha. I will use J. Marisnick in that role (along with the recently resigned M. Bourn) this year with both getting spot starts to provide days off for all 3. Smart money tells me S. Smith doesn't make it a full year without getting some kind of ankle/knee/hamstring/3 day flu issue and Kim hasn't shown me quite enough to be an everyday player (yet). Both Jake and Bourn are true OF's where Mancini, who I like, just doesn't have the speed/glove of those guys. Trumbo is getting 11 mil a year to hit bombs, the only time he leaves the bench is with a bat in his hand.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

How is O'Flaherty pitching? It was rumored the Braves were interested in Szczur during spring training.

I'll look.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Hi again I'm with the jays and I'm looking to add an right handed arm for my bullpen. My bullpen as been a little weak recently and I need an upgrade. I'm looking for a guy with high velocity fastball and a good strikeout pitch to go with it like a slider or curve with lots of break. The only guy off the top of my head I can think of is Bruce rondon but I'm sure there are lots of others out there.

I'm open to any recommendations.

Thank you.

Aren't we all?! Have you looked at Pap in the FA list? He's pretty easy to make happy which ticks his OVR up slightly and has acceptable stats for simming. You know your roster better than I do but you don't think SRF is ready for that type of role yet?

If the pirates are out of it you could go with Daniel Hudson, Trevor Rosenthal (STL), Hector Rondon (CHC), Greg Holland (COL), Kelvin Herrera (KC), Brad Brach (BAL), Neftali Feliz (MIL) are just a few

Pap isn't really a high velocity type reliever anymore

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

True. However, if you give 8-10 mph difference from the FB to the breaking ball/change, 90 looks like 95.

Your recommendations are expensive, mine were cheap or in-house. Just giving options/choices for a team that may not want to break the bank for somebody short of a closer.
