Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ahh okay.. What about one of these guys in Greene's place..

Sebastian Valle - C, 22 Years old, B potential
Gabriel Lino - C, 18 years old, B potential (one of their recent draft picks?)
Michael Stutes - RP, 25 years old, B potential
David Herndon - RP, 26 years old, B potential

They're definitely not trading Valle.

perhaps Valle (not for Wandy tho)...highly unlikely on Lino (they got him in the Thome trade).....and imo Stutes and Herndon are too *old* in prospect terms....they dont provide much upside at all

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

They're definitely not trading Valle.

The others would be fair game though? This is tougher than I thought because like I said earlier most of the division leads are in double figures (which is kind of weird). Then many of the teams "in contention" have pitching staffs that wouldn't realistically want Wandy (like the rays for instance.. for contract reasons and their pitching staff is doing very well). Then I really don't think the Astros would trade him within their own division (or am I wrong here) so that eliminates another group.

yea.. I may be back to square one here.. which makes things difficult as I mentioned in my previous post.

I'd think so, yeah. Valle was a recent draft pick, too, and is their catcher of the future.

this is just my opinion....if a contending team in the NL Central blew them away with a offer for Wandy, i dont think they'd turn it down

They'd probably trade him in division

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Your fine its just tough to evaluate a trade with 4 teams and 10 plus players in it

Dang, I went through with the trade before I posted it on here... Now I feel guilty.. I guess Ill trade B prospects to the Giants and Twins to make it more fair...

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright so I've got some new options now that I am also looking within the NL Central. The Brewers are playing lights out (70-29) with a team ERA of 2.65... so moving on. The Reds and Cards are separated by 1 game and currently are #1 and #2 in the wild card.

Any of these players attainable in a trade for Wandy? They are all B potential. I am looking for the 2 B's for Wandy type of trade (he is pitching about as well as one can hope for). The Reds didn't have many guys I was interested in that were 'B' potential, so here is a list from the Cardinals.

Eduardo Sanchez CP - 23 years old
Jordan Swagerty CP - 22 years old
Stephen Piscotty 3B - 22 years old
Zack Cox 3B - 23 years old
C.J. McElroy CF - 18 years old
Charlie Tilson CF - 19 years old

no to Piscotty (2012 high draft pick) and no to Cox....any combination of the other 4 are fair game imo assuming they werent drafted this year or last

I'd go with St. Louis, too, Cinci has more depth.

I'd go with Cox, as they have Freese at 3B.

I'd then be picking between Swagerty and Tilson. Swagerty has literally the best name ever for a closer, and they have Sanchez, too. Tilson, I picked in the rule 5 draft once. He stole 40 bases off the bench.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thanks NFG and AC. Sorry it took me about 10 posts to determine what to go after lol, but in the end I sent Wandy for Sanchez and McElroy. McElroy and Tillman were both selected last year, but McElroy was selected outside the top 100 so I was okay with it (Tilman was their 2nd pick).

Thanks again!

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys. Could use some help here.

I'm in a offline franchise with 3 friends. We are the NL East (except WSH) and I am controlling the Mets. We're about to hit July 2012 and I am 5.5 back of WSH.

Seeing as I'm a Cubs fan and don't really keep up with New York, any ideas on what the Mets would need to upgrade? Right now Ike Davis is carrying the load (leads in AVG, HR, and RBI!) but I could use some help to get to October.

I'm thinkin J. Upton?
