Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I think maybe at bottom, cause my lineup on top is very strong.

1. Ellsbury
2. Sweeney
3. A. Gonzalez
4. David Ortiz
5. Pedroia
6. Crawford
7. Saltalamacchia
8. Aviles
9. Cody Ross

Thanks for the help so far man

Then trade for Bourjos. He's a speedy guy who can get on base for the top of the line-up.

Whta position is everybody playing in your lineup?

Ellsbury CF
Sweeney RF
Gonzales 1B
Ortiz DH
Pedroia 2B
Crawford LF
Saltalamacchia C
Aviles SS
Cody Ross 3B

But my top line-up is very fast, I think i don't need a fast guy. Not for the top of the line-up...

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Is will Middlebrooks injured?

If you pull off a trade for Bourjos (idk who'd you give up yet) your line-up could potentially look like this:

1. Ellsbury CF
2. Pedroia 2B
3. Gonzalez 1B
4. Ortiz DH
5. Saltalamacchia C
6. Middlebrooks 3B
7. Crawford LF/RF
8. Aviles SS
9. Bourjos RF/LF

You'd probably have to give them Cody Ross, and a prospect or two.

He is not injured, is in Triple A, I'm gonna move him up, he's been red hot.

I like this line-up. I'm going to trade for Bourjos, it's a good deal and I don't mind giving up Cody Ross. But no chance for Upton? Too unrealistic?

It's not too unrealistic, but he's more of a 3-6 hitter. Bourjos could come in and prooduce at the bottom of your line-up, whereas J-Up couldn't.

If you REALLLLLLY want Upton, you'd have to give up an OF for sure, with a couple of prospects. I am not too good at the whole "he's worth this and that" thing, so NFG or AC would be a better help at the actual TRADE part.

If you get Upton, you're line-up would be sorta like this:

Ellsbury CF
Pedroia 2B
A-Gon 1B
Ortiz DH
Justin Upton RF
WMB 3B
Crawford LF
Saltalamacchia C
Aviles SS

This would make your line-up have more pop, but the bottom of line-up would suffer w/o someone like Bourjos. Thats why I think you should get him instead of Upton. just my opinion though.

What about I get Upton for those conditions and then try and trade cody ross and prospects for a good batting/speedy SS. Would it be possible?
And I don't think my bottom line-up is that weak. Crawford is hitting very well and is speedy, Saltalamacchia is the 2nd best of the team in HR and Aviles is maybe the one who is weaker but not so much.

I agree that it's not too weak, but yeah. If you want a SS with Upton, maybe get Stephen Drew, who also plays for the Dbacks and could pull off a trade for the both of them haha.

Also, look at

JJ Hardy, Baltimore (great hitter, avg speed)
Munenori Kawasaki, M's (fast but he's 30)
Brenden Ryan Mariners (great defense)

I think I might manage to pull off that trade.
What do you think of this:

D-backs give:

RF Justin Upton
SS Stephen Drew

Red Sox give:

RF Ryan Sweeney/Cody Ross (which?)
SS Mike Aviles
3B Danny Valencia

Fair trade?

ehhhh, what is Valencia's pot. ?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

B potencial if I'm not wrong.

Do you thinks it's best two separate trades? Upton for Sweeney and 2 prospects and another one, Drew for aviles and prospects.

No, it's possible for something like this:

Upton
Drew

FOR

Valencia
Ross/Sweeny
*insert prospect w/ at least B pot.*

Not looking good, they won't accept, I'm gonna trade for Upton only and try to trade for other SS.

Valencia, Cody Ross and a prospect for Upton?

What SS would you recommend?

[AC]

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Woah, woah, hang on a sec. Upton is worth two A POT and a B POT. You guys are way off here haha. What he's looking at:

Ranaudo
Bogaerts
Bradley, Jr.

Munenori Kawasaki. M's.

Won a batting title in Japan. M's signed him. He's rated poorly, but if he's used right, can be effective in the bottom of the line-up.

He's probably worth a D.

Shoot me an offer, and I'll tell you if it saounds good or not.

You already know what teams are under .500
Can you recommend a good hitter for a fair trade? Doesn't have to be Upton
