Kyle Kendrick is a guy who'd also be two C's. You trade for him as a no 5 starter and he could turn in numbers like a solid 4, soft no 3 starter.Former modder of "Ultimate Rosters" for MVP Baseball 2005.

Another lefty, Joe Saunders, would leave Arizona for a mid C prospect. Nice no 4 or 5 guy and veteran presence in the clubhouse and dugout.
AC suggested Peavy from the White Sox but they also have Gavin Floyd who could probably be had for a low B. Not the same high salary as Peavy but still a solid pitcher.
Edwin Jackson from the Nats for a low B could work as well. Nice k-rate and he's cut down on the walks during each of the past years lowering his whip.
Bronson Arroyo is familiar with the AL East from his Boston days and the Reds have way too many starters. Two C's for Arroyo.
Depending on what rosters you use, the Reds (or Rockies) have Canadian Jeff Francis available as well. He's a single C prospect to acquire.Former modder of "Ultimate Rosters" for MVP Baseball 2005.

Pretty overrated IMO.

Floyd's an option, as is John Danks.

He's just soooooooo inconsistent haha.

He said he hopes Manny Ramirez gets cancer. I mean...

GO CANADA! We're better than Sweden at hockey! But yeah, this guy's not a chucker, but he's got control.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I think John Jaso would require giving up more than just a C prospect (not Olivio though, if that). He's a mid/upper B potential in-game (so he gains +5 in every attribute over the next three years until he's a B+ overall), and in my test M's franchise he ended up becoming a type A free agent and an all-star after hitting .313 with 26 HR... couple the rapid progression with the fact that he still would be under team control for those three years makes him a very valuable commodity IMO.Bakin' soda, I got bakin' sodaComment

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
The crazy thing was that in 2014 he was still under team control; In 2015 he was an all-star and became a type A free agent...Bakin' soda, I got bakin' sodaComment

That looks like Vita... figures haha. Honestly, he's solid, but more than a low-mid B is too much."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
Seriously though, if he was leaderboard eligible he would be 9th in all of baseball in WRC+ (144), and if you use a ratings adjusted roster then he becomes better sooner.Last edited by seanjeezy; 09-28-2012, 05:36 PM.Bakin' soda, I got bakin' sodaComment

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I am at the all star break and I'm the Rays. I feel that we need a SS, as Hak and Beckham are sucking it up in minors, and like Zobrist to play 2B and have Kep DH. Not by PS3 right now, but us and the Dodgers are still in it. They are looking for pitching and I thought Shields might be a good option. We won't be resigning him as I'm using the recent Sony roster update, which has the Gonzo to dodgers trade, and has Archer as an A potential. I did move almost all the prospects from Scott's roster over, so it still has same minor league players. I like Dee Gordon and since the Dodgers have moved Hanley to SS in real life, I feel Dee is expendable. Wondering who else would be in trade. I obviously like Zach Lee, but dont see them letting him go. any adgice is appreciated! Thank you!
Also if anyone has any trades for Upton and/or Farnsworth, it would be appreciated! Still looking for a young catcher of future.
I will get records in later tonight. Also stats for Gordon and Shields, also Upton and Farnsworth or any other players you guys need for advice in tradeLast edited by Tampafan11; 09-28-2012, 09:33 PM.Comment

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
What is Aoki worth and how willing would Milwaukee be willing to trade him? What kind of player would interest them? I don't know much about them and they are middle of the pack in their division. FWIW, Aoki is only hitting .220 and I just like his speed and platoon advantage as my line-up is filled with righties.Last edited by rjackson; 09-28-2012, 09:35 PM.Comment
