Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

neither guy is amazing but if i had to pick, i'd prolly go Bartlett over either Ryan or Barmes

Bartlett has more offensive upside, but Ryan is one of the top defensive SS in the league.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Both guys would occupy the 8th spot in you NL Lineup. I would go with the sure thing defensively in Ryan.

One more thing: What could I get for Getz?

One C (or a D) like bugle said. Depends on his stats

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thanks for opinions guys...

I'm going to trade Ryan to the Marlins for Mid C (SP Rob Rasmussen) and Low C (1B Ryan Rieger).

The prospect level is right but the positions make no sense for seattle. They have Montero and Jaso and Olivio at catcher and a plethora of SP prospects. Try and offer them RP, SS, LF

First of all, these are C potential guys meaning they will be backups or maybe fringy starters slash platoon guys. Next Rasmussen is projected to be a lugie in the MLB not a starter because he doesnt have an average breaking ball. Montero isnt going to be there long term catcher as he cant play the position. Olivo wont be resigned and Jaso contract is almost up. They could use a backup for Zunino in the future and thats what theyd be getting here.

Speaking as a Seattle fan, Jaso is under team control for three more years and Montero is a serviceable backup, and those two can hold the fort until Zunino is called up. The one position we lack depth at is first base, but if the return will be two fringy prospects, we usually take outfielders and relief pitchers.

Ya I messed up with Jaso, I read the wrong thing. But Montero will likely be the fulltime DH next year or the year after kinda like Victor Martinez is in Det, not a backup catcher. Rasmussen will be a RP which is what you said they like, and whatever C pot catcher can easily be exchanged for a 1B since Smoak is terrible and need some depth there

I didn't know that Pitcher was being projected as a RP. So that works. But Montero is serviceable enough as a backup, and they have a stud in the minors. I don't think they would move such a defensive force for another C when they have holes elsewhere. Thats all i was saying. And yeah they need 1b also, i left that out.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Athletics get:

- Erick Aybar
- Two B's

Angels get:

- Jamile Weeks



Or



Mariners get:

- Erick Aybar
- Two B's

Angels get:

- Dustin Ackley



Any of these sound fair?
I am in 15 of June.
The A's are 22GB from me and the Mariners 24GB
Jamile is .236
Ackley is .266
Aybar is .289

Any advice?

My advice is not to make either of those deals. Both those guys aren't going anywhere in year one, probably in year two as well. Not to mention that both teams would be giving away a productive guy at a tough position to get offense from, to a division rival.

Plus, the Angels have Howie Kendrick at 2nd...and he's not a bad player by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, you're right.
I need an SS though, any tip? I can give Aybar and prospects.

Jed Lowrie from Houston is a good option. Switch hitter, can play a lot of postions, solid defender. He also doesn't fit into Houston's future plans, and is in the final year of his deal.

Without looking at any stats from Lowrie I would preliminarily say he's worth a B and C or the two lowest B's you have. But that's the value I remember guys telling me when I dealt him, opinions may have changed since then.

I like Jed Lowrie.
He is .235
But since my plan is replacing Aybar (my lead-off hitter) I would prefer a speedy guy who can get to base to start the game. (I can give Aybar in exchange)
