Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

i forgot to mention this...how much of CarGo's contract Colorado eats, plays a huge part in what kind of prospects Colorado would receive in return

Not much. It's a decent contract, not horrible. How much is his contract again? 80M, 7 years?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

That depends.... A.) How long is my rebuild? B.) What is my farm system like?

you're speaking from a Rockies standpoint or any random team?

yep it's 7/80M....it is very affordable in today's baseball terms hence why i think Colorado can ask for a nice package depending on how much they eat

From the Rockies standpoint in trading CarGo.

I'd say eating about 4 or 5 M.

from the outside looking in, i wouldn't think their THAT far away from contending.....maybe 2-3 years? and their farm system is about middle-of-the-pack if u go by: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/...stem-rankings-

or slacking off a bit if u go by: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index...eague-systems/

From that report, they say two impact prospects (Obviously Arenado and Pomeranz), and C+ guys. C+ guys aren't anything special for a farm system. If I gave up 6-7 B's, I could bolster their farm system into a top-5 one, which would enormously help out their rebuild, rather than just two good guys. Plus, I'm not making them pay for very much of their contract, so they don't have a huge financial burden.

yeah i wouldn't say their farm system is anything better then middle-of-the-pack at best.....The attractive contract is the #1 reason why i think the Rockies would ask quality-up front rather then stockpiling quantity...although i do understand your reasoning....i just hope they realize this is a lost year and try at it next season...wishful thinking on my part probably

That 'attractive' contract actually gets VERY VERY ugly, he'll be getting paid 20M at one point.

oops..i totally didnt factor in how his contract was structured....no doubt he's not worth 20M per year especially if half of his home games are away from Coors....we'll just have to see how his situation plays out

Yeah, this is why he's worth 5-6 B's.

Look at his Home/Away splits. He's ridiculous at home, but he's not all that great away.

yep his home/away splits are indeed glaring....i believe the Rockies would be makin rash decision in gettin rid of him so soon anyway...i'd give him another year with a fully healthy Tulo and hopefully revamped pitching staff...but then again a team might not think much of his skewed numbers and give up a load for him

Yeah, you're right. If they were smart, they'd keep him. I mean, GM's probably look at his splits, and they're probably not impressed.

nope but when your team is in a playoff push and u see Carlos's name on the market, it can lead u to do some crazy things
