Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm playing as the Rangers and want to add some depth to my bench. Any suggestions on who to add. I was thinking maybe Brendon Ryan

Justin Turner from the Mets

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I started a season with the brewers and have only played 5 or 6 games so far. I always look at the rosters and see players I might want to trade for later in the season.

I know I want other SS, since i do not care for any of the old SS the brewers have right now.

I was looking at the Oakland A's SS Cliff Pennington and the Tigers JHONNY PERALTA. I think Cliff is higher rated than Peralta.

There is something odd with the so called improved trade logic because for either of those two players I can trade ANY player in the brewers team..Even D rated prospects. Point is when i mean any player I mean any player..

It doesnt make any sense to me, because both players are not outstanding but both are decent to say the least. The A's do not have a decent SS to backup Cliff nor do the Tigers. I am just talking about rating wise in the game,not how you might view the SS backups they have in real life.

Its just confusing why the CPU controlled teams, would approve those trade..because like I said I mean ANYONE will be accepted for those two players. Its just seems to not make any sense, even more so with the so called improved trade logic.

It doesnt matter when it comes down to trade..because I cant do a trade that makes no sense suchs a 38 years old D rated player for a younger decent SS with a B rating like Cliff. When i do trade I will make sure its fair, so trade logic really effects to me more what the CPU VS CPU teams due in trades. I can control it and make fair trades,,just I dont look forward to what I will see trade wise late in the season.

Singleton's not a MIIF, OF, or P..unless ur gunna simply DH him in the future.....why would the Astros wanna give him up tho?..Punto has no trade value....Iglesias could bring u back a couple of B's and a C

Any idea who would want Iglesias I kind of like the idea of trading him to Seattle for Paxton + a couple others.

Seattle has Nick Franklin in the minors......how about the Mets?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What do the Mets have in their system?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What do the Mets have in their system?

they're frontloaded with starting pitchers in Wheeler, Harvey, and Familia.....they have a couple of decent hitting prospects in Nimmo, Flores, Valdespin...Harvey and Wheeler would be the least likely to be traded

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So after getting advice on another thread, I decided that I will start one with the Pirates. I won't be able to start it for a week or two still, but in the meantime I was wondering what kind of prospects I could get for the following players.

Garrett Jones
Casey McGehee
Erik Bedard
Jeff Karstens
Kevin Correia
Joel Hanrahan

I'm also looking to find younger players to fill positions at Catcher, First Base, Short Stop, and relief pitcher. Thanks for the help.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Almost at the trade deadline and I have one more move to make. I CANNOT hit with Kevin Youkilis. Therefore I am looking to trade him.

Any ideas as far as teams, and players I could get back. Trying to play realstically BTW

For younger cathers, you could look at the Red Sox. Maybe Sltamalachia, Lavarnway, or if you are willing to wait a few years, Blake Swihart.

I'm also doing a franchise with the Pirates and will probably be trading away many of the same players. I've done a few test runs, and once teams start going into "Playoff Push" mode in July you should be able to get a decent return for guys like Jones, McGehee, Bedard, and Hanrahan. Some shortstops I'm looking at are Marwin Gonzalez on the Astros and Ehire Adrianza on the Giants. Some relievers I'm looking at are Kevin Quackenbush on the Padres, Pedro Strop on the Orioles, Kris Medlen on the Braves, and Steve Cishek on the Marlins. I'm aiming for Mark Trumbo on the Angels for my first baseman of the future, but I'll probably be trading away Luis Heredia, Jose Tabata, and Josh Harrison to get him.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright, so the Mariners are looking to acquire Jeff Samradzija (RP in my franchise) and 3B Ian Stewart from the Cubs. They are willing to part with closer Brandon League. I don't care so much about realism, but I would like to be fair. Who else should Seattle include in the trade? Alternatively, if Seattle was willing to take on Alfonso Soriano's contract (Cubs are desperate to trade him), would that change things?

as for potential contending teams, Colorado and LA Dodgers could use upgrades 3B...A+C prospect in return

what's Soriano's contract in the game?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I don't think it's too gigantic, a few million per year through '14.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

then it wouldnt make the biggest difference in the world.....so it'd be Samardijza, Stewart, possibly Soriano for League? if so u'd probably have to give them either Carp or Gutierrez and a B prospect
