2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I just started up a Mets franchise and I made some trades right out of the gate. Here they are:


Traded Jason Bay, Manny Acosta and Daniel Murphy to Chicago White Sox for Gordon Beckham, Alex Rios and Hector Santiago

Traded Frank Francisco and Ruben Tejada to Arizona Diamondbacks for JJ Putz and Stephen Drew

Traded a B-Potential prospect and a player to be named later to Philadelphia Phillies for John Mayberry, Jr.

Traded Bobby Parnell and a B-Potential pitching prospect to Washington Nationals for Brad Lidge and Sean Burnett




I am also currently in talks with several teams about dealing Andres Torres (since Torres is injury-prone and I can't risk any of my players getting injured; let another team deal with him).

I'm looking to upgrade my outfield and probably acquire an ace pitcher other than Santana, Pelfrey and Dickey. I'll give up any of my hitters except Stephen Drew, Gordon Beckham, and David Wright. Here are some of my trade targets:

Outfield:

Jay Bruce - Reds
Nick Markakis - Orioles
Delmon Young - Tigers
Mike Trout - Angels
Mark Trumbo - Angels
Cameron Maybin - Padres
Rajai Davis - Blue Jays
Denard Span - Twins
David DeJesus - Cubs
Carlos Quentin - Padres

Pitching:

Brett Cecil - Blue Jays
James Shields - Rays
Justin Masterson - Indians
Jair Jurrjens - Braves
Trevor Cahill - Diamondbacks
Gio Gonzalez - Nationals
Jake Peavy - White Sox
Gavin Floyd - White Sox
Matt Garza - Cubs
Jeff Samardzija - Cubs

Any ideas on who I'd have to give up to get one of my trade targets?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I just started it so he has already signed. So in this game, when you trade for a pretty big star player, and you have a team such as the Royals, if you can afford it is there a good chance they will re-sign with you in the off-season, or do they usually go elsewhere?

Braun and Gonzale along with those type of guys wouldn't fit for you money wise or be available. Quentin as long as he hasn't signed an extension in your season would cost a B and a C

5 A's for Trout, stay away from Cecil. At a dinner, so that's all I can say ATM.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Okay guys. I am a White Sox fan, but wanted to do something different this year. I have decided to take either the A's or Royals. Leaning towards probably taking KC cause I am from Oklahoma, and I absolutely love their ballpark.

What are some potential trades I could make to start season? Realism is important to me. I want to do something bold to change the outlook that people have on the Royals organization. I was thinking of trading for a big acquisition. What could I afford though with this low of a payroll?

Can anyone who knows please also tell me about who are the best players on the Royals, and best prospects, weaknesses, strengths, etc. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you so much! P.s. I have the rosters with all the prospects.

The best thing you could do is get Lowrie from HOU to play 2B and wait for the ASB or develop your young pitching.

OK, first and foremost, these are all completely fair. Two things, though; One, if the Tigers have Infante in these rosters, don't trade Utley there. Two....

Please, I'm begging you, don't trade Halladay to New York. Anywhere but New York or Boston. Please? That'd be cruel for Jays fans lol.

What other suggestions would you have for me to ship Halladay? New York offers the best package, imo.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

No way Texas does that trade for Olt...They give up way too much.

[Jacoblee23]

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So in my Royals franchise, Texas will take my worst catching prospect Cody Clark for Michael Young. Should I do it? Actually, they will take any prospect for him. They must want to shed some salary.

Why not? They already have Beltre at third, and Lee would help put that team over the top and make them a favorite for the world series.

They wouldn't give up Olt for Greinke, what makes you think they'd do it for Lee...Olt is a future All-Star.

Two of Shelby Miller/Carlos Martinez/Oscar Tavares.
B prospect

From St. Louis. I'd take that package.

Not unless you want to rip off the CPU. Some people don't have guilt. If you want to be realistic, however, then don't do it.
