Anyone know a good trade for the cardinals in order to get Clayton kershaw?

Pujols, Shelby Miller ( I think thats the name of STL's top pitching prospect), Colby Rasmus and David Freese.

Indians fans chime in...I traded a B pot Starting pitcher, who had a 3.5 ERA and was 24 for Tony Sipp (he is one of my favorite players) to give me another lefty in the pen. Good trade?

Ever since I have said he's been lights out he's been blowing it!

Looking to unload Milton Bradley, Jack Wilson, and Adam Kennedy....I don't really care who I get in return and I know they are all 3 garbage players, but any suggestions?

Re: **All Trades Discussion Thread** 2011 Edition

In your opinion, who would be the best pitcher to acquire Edwin Jackson 1.7 mil or Matt Garza 3.6 mil?

I would say Jackson. I did a huge job with him last year (played with the D'backs and went on to win the WS). I struggle a bit with him in the first two months and then he was out for one month but since his comeback, he was outstanding.

He finished his last 11 starts with a low 1.00 ERA (HOF pitching). I decided to go with him as my ace in the postseason and did nearly the same job.

I play this year with the White Sox and I'm still great with him. (3 starts 2.60 ERA).

He has two strong pitches. His FB tops the 97 MPH and his slider has a good movement.
His curve his great too.
Only his change could be better since he throws it @ 89-90 MPH which is only 7 MPH less than his FB.

He has a good stamina, a good K rating. Only his control is average.

So I would say go with Jackson. (FYI, I've never pitched with Garza !)

Anybody know a fair trade to get Cargo with the Pirates?

Most likely at least your top 2-3 prospects.

Most likely at least your top 2-3 prospects.

And probably McCutchen as well. A 30-30 outfielder in his prime, to make it fair you would have to give up a few prospects and an all star in return.

Clayton is a total beast but sadly too much for the cardinals to afford.

What would the Rangers be looking for if I tried to acquire Chris Davis?

or the A's if I'm trying to acquire Chris Carter.

A's probably top outfield prospect and a B first baseman.
Texas a good catcher and a prospect maybe relief or outfield

For Carter, I would have to say some kind of power in return, since he is supposed to one day be that much needed power hitter. Lacking that, perhaps an upgrade at third base, a position they haven't been able to fill since Chavez. They are already stacked with outfielders, starters, and the best bull pen.

Re: **All Trades Discussion Thread** 2011 Edition

First season of my Tigers franchise. Need to find a SS/3B. I'm thinking Yunel Escobar in Toronto. He got sent down a few weeks ago so he's clearly not in favor with the team. I can send Inge there for him straight up and they do really need a 3B. Inge just has not done anything for me. He has zero bat and I need a little more offense from someone in my infield besides Cabrera.

Does a straight up Inge for Escobar work? Or is there somebody else that needs to be added to either side. I'm slightly skeptical if the Tigers would even trade him, but he's doing nothing for me and I doubt they would ever send him down so I'd rather send him elsewhere.

Inge is a fan favorite in Detroit so in order to trade him the tigers would definatley want a good prospect young B or older A at pitcher or SS

Re: **All Trades Discussion Thread** 2011 Edition

I just made a trade to give me some immediate rotation help and a true lead-off hitter. Livan is on the 15-day DL and Marquis just went down for an "unspecified amount of time", so I had to do something to help my rotation. Also, the top of my order is suffering. Ankiel cannot hit lefties and Desmond is just not getting it done. I need a true lead-off hitter with lead-off speed. At the all star break, I'm eight games back in the NL East and seven games back in the wildcard race. Not quite out of it yet.

Nationals give-up:
AJ Cole (RHP, Baseball America #4 prospect in Nats organization)
J.D. Martin (RHP)
Roger Bernadina (OF)

Nationals get:
BJ Upton (OF)
James Shields (SP)

I think its fair for a couple of reasons. I gave up one of the top young pitchers in the minor leagues along with a starter and a decent outfielder with big league experience. In return, I took on the contract year of BJ Upton and took an "older" pitcher off the Rays hands. Not to mention, the Rays are well out of contention right now (16 games back).

Let me know what y'all think.

Re: **All Trades Discussion Thread** 2011 Edition

Im using the Cardinals...who should I get to upgrade the SS position? Theriot is horrible right now!!!!
I also need a better 5th starter as pitcher...

Any ideas on some good young talent?

I have Descalso as my everyday SS. I have Theriot on the block but nobody wants him.
