Nevermind you dont get what im saying forget it

He's exploring his options. I do it too.

You know how Alex Anthopolous is famous for calling in every day to every GM to the point were they dread it? 'Due Diligence?' That's kinda what he's doing.

AA does a fine job and he's been tremendous at it. The Jays are gonna be a strong competitor for years to come in the AL East.

In this case I think what bugle is referring to is a little boy named MSU that went missing

I dont think you understand what I'm saying either, I said that the two trades he made are enough and that if hes being realistic thats about all he should do, also that he should have never traded for Morse in the first place, he didnt listen to what people said

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I have made 2 trades in my Royals franchise along with 2 Free agent acquisitions going into my second season. Let me see what you guys think.

Offered by Phi at the 2012 trade deadline:

KC gets:
Dominic Brown

Phi gets:
J. Guthrie
J. Mijares
one other player can't remember who a B prospect minor leaguer.


I offered this trade in the 2012 offseason. Its not the fairest I know but the CPU did accept it. I have King Felix carrying my fantasy pitching staff and after his perfection I needed to play with him.

Sea Gets
Jeff Francoeur
John Lamb (high A prospect pitcher)
Chris Dwyer (high A prospect pitcher) - Both are currently in Mariners rotation now.

KC Gets:
Felix Hernandez


I also signed in Free agency
Huston Street
Tyler Colvin

I definitely agree Bugle...I wasn't around when he was making the deals for these guys, but I wouldn't have signed off on them. For one, the Tigers didn't need to deal for bats at all. They have one of the more loaded offensive teams in all of baseball, especially on paper.

Not to mention their minor league system has been steadily weakening over the last couple years. So I doubt they'd part with guys that can help in a couple years for a fringe player like Soriano, who is pretty much an overpaid Delmon Young (who Detroit already has!) Or a Morse because Castellanos is around to come up and play OF fairly soon (he was converted to an OF position to help him get to the bigs quicker.)

But I think the overwhelming opinion that I saw from people was not to make the trade for Morse...which was ignored.

Meh, it is a game and he should do what is more fun for him. This thread helps people to make them more fair and hopefully more realistic based on what is happening in their digital universe because some people find that to be more fun. Not trying to be argumentative, just perspective.

No I get what you mean. Don't misinterpret my opposition as saying people can't play how they want. My main thing is when people come in here looking for help, get told not to do something with good reason, do it anyways, then complain when people don't agree with what they did.

It just seems like if you want to have a fantasy team, this thread isn't quite the place to do it.

Well, thanks AC for understanding

About this: "I said that the two trades he made are enough and that if hes being realistic thats about all he should do" I am not making any more trades and I never said I would.

About the Soriano and Morse trades, I think that maybe I shouldn't have traded for Soriano, but people make mistakes and at the time I thought it was right. About Morse, I made the trade because I felt like needing a bat, I know that the Tigers are a very good batting team but there were players that I couldn't bat with and I really felt I should do that. Since that Morse trade my team's been playing better and I've been playing better and Morse as been a great help...

So, on the overall, I think Soriano trade was maybe a mistake, but the Morse trade was right for me and my team. I didn't ignore your opinions, I read all of them with care and respect but in the end I went for what felt right and the results are positive.

I'm sorry if you felt like I ignored your advises but I didn't, I think you all give great tips and opinions and I have learned a lot this past few weeks. A lot about trades and a lot about Baseball

Lamb and Dwyer both arent high A's first of all and second of all that trade for Felix is the biggest rip off I've ever seen in this thread, that is absolutely terrible. And by the way that Dominic Brown trade is pointless and unfair/unrealistic too.

I'm not saying that Morse doesnt fit, its just he wouldnt have been traded and I told you that

I'm sorry man, maybe it wasn't much realistic, but I'm gonna have even more attention from now on.

your all good dont worry about it

[Totte]

Dodgers awarded the claim on A-Gon. Jim Bowden of ESPN suggests Zach Lee, Allan Webster and James Loney for him.

We're talking two B's in form of the pitching prospects and a C in Loney. Given how much money A-Gon makes, I'd call that fair

(Is Zach Lee an A? Not on the ps3 at the moment)

Toronto Blue Jays get: RHP Jair Jurrjens

Atlanta Braves get: 2B Kelly Johnson, RHP Asher Wojechowski

What do you think?

Toronto is giving up way too much...Plus why would ATL want Johnson with Uggla?
