Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

This is his final year in his contract at 1.6 mil. Unsure if I can keep him for next year so he might only be a rental. Depending on how well I do with him and how much money my other FA might command, I might or might not have the money for Fowler. But, that being said, I'm hoping to sign him for maybe 4-5mil per year for the next couple of years. If I can do that, I would be willing to part with some pretty good prospects.



I tried out the sort method. But still a bit confused on who are high/mid/low. Is this just relative to players in my own system or is it league wide? For example, Player X is a mid B on my team. If I trade him to another team, could he potentially become a low B on their team if they are already loaded with prospects similar to Player X.

Also, you said that a high B could become a low A.... Could you elaborate on that? Y. Molina has struggled at the plate for me this year. He batted .310+ (forgot exactly) while putting up some decent power numbers for him. (I think 8 HR, maybe 80RBI) But this year, he is batting .255 through the All Star Break with only 1-2 HR. He is showing up as a high B prospect on my list still. (I believe the roster originally had him at B also.) So he didn't regress despite his cold season.

Just pretty confused on how these High/Mid/Low potentials work. Do they also factor in age? I noticed all my "high" A's were much younger than my older guys.

When you went to sort. We will say you had 3 A's on your roster. The 1 at the top is your highest with the 3rd being your lowest. As for your question on if you traded him. You are right. If they had 2 A's already and you traded your lowest to said team. After the trade your ex-A showed as their 1st A. Then.he becomes their highest A. As for Yadier. Players don't start regressing in the game till they are 31/32. So him being a pot. B is the reason why he didn't change if his ratings are still averaging B.

Hope this help and doesn't confuse you more.

Ok for a 3 month rental for of Fowler. 2 Solid B's, like the package The Phillies got for Vivtorino

[AC]

Wouldn't Fowler just be arb eligible, though?

Does anyone really care where I sent this from?

Have a struggling Chris Sale on my roster, it's 2015 so he's 25 years old. End of June and he's 1-0 w/ a 5.91 ERA and 70 strikeouts. I've been losing most games he starts, so I'm looking to move him despite his last 2 seasons.

2013: 19-6 234SO 2.96ERA
2014: 19-4 247SO 3.43ERA

He could be an ace for any team except for the Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers. I could trade him for prospects and go to a 4 pitcher rotation. I'm leading my division by 16 games so I'm not worried about missing the playoffs, but Sale could be a liability in the post season if another pitcher starts struggling.

What do you guys think I could expect to get for him?

Edit: he has 3 years left on his contract. 17mil per year

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Consider that ZWheeler was given for two months of CBeltran last year. I'd say to give an A potential SP plus a decent B OF and the third player depending on how much team control is left on him, most likely another B.

Does anyone else have an opinion on what to give up? Just want to get several opinions before making a move. Also, how should I balance out the player's OVR rating to make the trade fair. I have a ton of A pot SP but not all are ML ready. What OVR should I be shooting for to give to COL to make it fair.

Trading for D. Fowler:
Currently batting .328 (2nd in NL); COL is 13 games out of division; At trading deadline; Glaring weaknesses as SP, C, and 1B (Worst in MLB at C and 1B I believe); Has 1.6m left on his contract- final year; Arbitration Eligible after this year;
