re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

So the trades I've worked out so far and am still mulling over are:

STL gets: Webb
AZ gets: Rasmus, Adam Reifer, Lance Lynne

CHW gets: Webb
AZ gets: Gordon Beckham, John Danks, Jhonny Nunez

TOR gets: Webb
Az gets: Dustin McGowan, Jesse Litsch, Adam Lind

If I were to make the trade with the chisox I would move Beckham over to 2b and would have an instant #2 starter in Danks, but I really like Colby Rasmus and am sick of striking out with Chris Young. Toronto's trade is tempting b/c both starting pitchers are big league ready and 'A' potential.

What to do...

I like the last two. I am going off of what I know IRL, because I don't have the game open...

Rasmus should turn out to be a monster in the game, but I am not familiar with the other two.

Beckham is a nice prospect and Danks looks like he will be a really good pitcher.

Litsch is young and looks to be improving, and McGowan (though injured) was a pretty good #3 (maybe #2). Lind is at least a .270 20 HR guy.

If I had to lean one way, I would say trade option 2-- the three decent for one great trades have had a history of disappointing. Go for the sure #2 and a pretty good SS prospect.

I could see the Sox and Jays doing the deals under a few conditions. Seem fair to me.

I would prob do the CHI one. But instead of Beckham I would try and get Getz......But you need to do the one you want to do. If you want Rasmus then get him

As a Cardinal fan, I would highly recommend you do this trade.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

I decided to pull the trigger on the ChiSox trade and sent Webbie to Chicago in exchange for Beckham, Danks, and Aaron Poreda (rather than Jhonny Nunez). B/c of injuries, Poreda pitched my next game and went 6 inning allowing 1 unearned run and striking out 5 in a 4-1 loss to the braves. The trade paid immediate dividends. Beckham is now batting cleanup down in AAA and Danks will start my next game.

Next up to move...Garland, Tracy, Byrnes

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

In my Tribe franchise I'm about 8 games from the All - Star game and have made 2 moves..

Indians Get : SP Edison Volquez

Reds Get : OF Matt LaPorta


#2
Indians Receive : OF Elijah Dukes

Nats Receive : OF Ben Francisco
OF Michael Brantley


I just pulled the Dukes trade today and just hit a HR with him on the second pitch he saw as an Indian..also a back-to-back shot after Peralta hit one the at-bat prior.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

I'm in the second season of my Orioles franchise and my lineup and rotation is almost completely different now. I can't remember exactly who traded for who at this point, but I can tell you that I would stockpile as much as I could by trading one player for two or three players and instead of releasing guys i would then trade two or three people for one player. I would do this over and over until I had the lineups I wanted from MLB all the way to AA. My MLB lineup and rotation is as follows:

1. 2B Brian Roberts
2. CF Adam Jones
3. RF Nick Markakis
4. C Matt Wieters
5. DH Jorge Cantu (Traded from Seattle)
6. 3B Mark DeRosa (Traded from Colorado)
7. 1B Lars Anderson (Traded from Boston to Texas to Me)
8. SS Gordon Beckham (Rule 5 Draft)
9. LF Matt LaPorta (Traded from Cleveland)
Bench: OF Joey Gathright
Bench: C Bobby Wilson (Traded in Mark DeRosa trade)
Bench: 1B Kendry Morales (Traded from Angels)
Bench: SS Cesar Izturis

SP: Matt Garza (Traded from Tampa)
SP: Josh Beckett (Free Agent)
SP: Derek Holland (Traded from Texas)
SP: Kenshin Kawakami (Traded from Atlanta)
SP: Brian Matusz
LRP: Koji Uehara
MRP: Jim Johnson
MRP: David Aardsma (Traded in Cantu trade)
MRP: Aaron Tulowitzki (2nd Round of Rule 5 draft, never heard of him before but he has A potential and is normally a closer)
SU: Brian Tallet (Traded from Toronto to Texas to San Fran to Me)
SU: Chris Ray
CP: Kevin Gregg (Free Agent)

I can't remember my AAA and AA lineups, but I can tell you I have:

1B Justin Smoak (Traded from Rays in Garza trade)
3B Josh Vitters (Traded from Cubs)
1B Eric Hosmer (Traded from Kansas City for Ty Wigginton, I remember that because it was the first trade I made)
SP Jhoulys Chacin (Traded from Colorado)
SP Nick Adenhart (Free Agent in AA)
SP Shairon Martis (Free Agent in AA)
RF Nick Weglarz (Traded from Cleveland)
...and more but I can't remember who as of right now, nobody really significant...

In the two amateur drafts I have done I have drafted a total of 9 players, 5 A potential, 3 C potential, and 1 D potential. With the 6th pick (maybe 5th, can't remember) in the 2008 draft I chose a Starting Pitcher (1st SP overall) and changed his CAPS to the CAPS posted on here for Stephen Strasburg, he tore it up in AAA this season.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

My best trade thus far has been.

Orioles Get:
Nothing

Free Agency gets:
Adam Eaton (0-6 7.87 ERA)

So far it's been working out great. :wink:

Not really but I did put Eaton in AAA and called up David Hernandez. Eaton will probably be let go as soon as Rich Hill returns from the DL.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

so far.

to PITT
Brian Giles

to SD
Austin Jackson

to KC
Kevin Kouzmanoff (Gordon out for year)

to SD
Mark Teahan

also did the Gerut for Gwynn Trade

Moved Headley back to 3B, called up Blanks to play LF, Jackson is in AAA

Currently 56-35, 4 games out

SS - Burke/Cabrera
2B - Antonelli
1B - Gonzalez
RF - Teahan
3B - Headley
LF - Blanks
CF - Hairston
C - Hundley

or

CF - Gwynn
2B - Antonelli
1B - Gonzalez
RF - Teahan
3B - Headley
LF - Blanks
C - Hundley
SS - Burke

Another thing i just did today was signed a FA pitcher who was A potential and turned him into SP Aaron Crow since its who we look to draft and inserted him right into the rotation. He is 1-0 with a 6.00 ERA.

Peavy
Young
Crow
Hill
Correia

Will probably call up Mark Prior soon too from AAA. Hope for a playoff push rotation of Peavy, Young, Crow, Prior and maybe Prospect Mat Latos. Some power arms in there.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

As the Jays I sent Marcum, Romero, and Kevin Ahrens (a 3b prospect) to the Mariners for Erik Bedard. Felt like it was realistic, gave the mariners two young, MLB ready starters and a prospect.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

I have 2 good ones. I did fantasy draft and got pretty good team. The surprising one was offered by the computer to me:
I get : Clayton Kershaw
Comp Get: Randy Johnson
Straight up stole kershaw, and the computer offered that to me. Duh, got to take that one.
My other was:
I get: A.Gonzalez
Comp get: J. Giambi, and A pitching prospect.

Something in me died a little.

I know what you mean, it's hard to self-police to that extent. You almost feel obliged to rob the computer with guys like Ed Wade employed-- (I know, I know, the Bobby Abreu trade...)

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

i have a fantasy drafted reds franchise going (14-11 a gm back of a 3 way tie for first -CHC,PIT,STL-) .... anyways my team is hitting pretty well with longoria and hamilton... i was messing around with potential trades last night and i wanted to get everyones opinion on this.....

TOR (cpu) GETS:
DeRosa
Jacobs
Gallardo

CIN GETS:
R.Romero
Accardo
PUJOLS

really? they are willing to part with him? i mean if i do the deal romero moves into my rotation, and of course pujols will start at 1st making kendry morales my pinch hitter ..... any thoughts?

[B_rad13]

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

Chicago Cubs (me) get:
Jake Peavy

San Diego gets:
3 prospects

Another trade I did was;

Cubs get:
Brain Roberts who is hitting .310 8 homers and 27 RBI's
Claimed Scott Moore off of waviers from Baltimore, the guy was hitting .325 with 15 homers in AAA-so it was a no brainer to pick him up.

Baltimore gets:
Ted Lilly 4-4 4.96 ERA
Koskue Fukodome who had no homers and batting .262
Mike Fontenot who had 2 homers and was batting .245

I also did some minor trades like getting Dotel from the White Sox for So Taguchi and Luis Rivas to the Jays for Joe Inglett.

Do it! In a heartbeat.

You did a fantasy draft and the Jays still ended up with Romero and Accardo?
