Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Hmm. I’m getting 56.6M in surplus for Duffy. You should be fine to move him.

As for Ian Kennedy, he had -9.6M surplus. You can move him to a team that really needs a bullpen piece but he’s not going to bring you back anything. You’re looking at a low lottery ticket piece in return for him.

Im so confused. ive went back a few pages to work out the math and im getting different numbers than you guys. i must be doing something wrong here.

DANNY DUFFY
2017 WAR: 3.3 x 6 = 19.8
2016 WAR: 3.7 x 3 = 11.1
2015 WAR: 1.5 x 1 = 1.5

19.8 + 11.1 + 1.5 = 32.4
32.4/10 = 3.24 WAR

3.24 x 9 (1 WAR Worth) x 4 (remaining contract years) = 116.6 Value
116.6 - 60 (remaining contract) = 56.6M Surplus

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I now see were i went wrong. So im hes worth around a 1 top 50 and a 1 top 100.

It’s enough to get you a 25-50 prospect and a 75-100 prospect. Others might think that is a bit too much but depending on the team, it could work.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

so using our projected new system to calculate for older players im getting Cano at 35.3, aside from the fact he has a full no trade clause how does the value look?

I don’t know if Bard wants to use that method for sure but I think it’s solid. That number for Cano is far, far more reasonable. It’s still a single prospect between 25-50 or two prospects between 75-100. For a team who is going for a World Series (you better be if you’re trading for that contract), it’s a steep but not back-breaking amount to pay.

Edit: By solid, I mean it looks realistic. I haven’t done the numbers myself yet but I’m sure you got it right.

Cardinals, Dodgers, Yankees and as painful as it is to say it maybe even the Nationals. I'll have to see.

yeah know i feel ya, i was just checking it out to see where it landed him, and i agree looks much more realistic than the 100+ we were seeing before

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Would Keston Hiura + another piece work for Taijuan Walker?

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

How would i be able to figure out the value of a controlled player?

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

I know its a prospect for prospect deal which doesnt happen a lot in baseball but I was wondering if this trade works slash makes sense to anyone else. I was thinking with Atlanta in rebuild mode and having a lot of pitching depth would and Alford for Soroka deal be out of the question? It gives Atlanta another top 50 position player and gives the Blue Jays a future starting pitcher

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

I play with real contracts but I do 30 team control as well.

how do you make It real contracts?

Taijuan Walker Surplus: 73.3M (Assuming SAL of 5.5M last two seasons)


He's actually worth a decent amount. Milwaukee would have to deal Keston Hiura and Corbin Burnes. Although I'd probably like to have that followed up on. Walker's value is pretty high and we have him going straight up for Top 30 Prospects on our Log.
