Is he someone PIT would've considered offers for if they were looking like at another sub .500 year come the ASB? What would it take to get him?

How old is he again? I'd figure that you'd need to give up prospects, but you don't have prospects as the White Sox that'd match up with Pittsburgh, so it doesn't look good off the bat.

I think he's 25 (IRL).. I think they would be willing to deal him, but I'm not sure what it would take... especially if they aren't doing to well in your chise.

I have no A prospects but there are a good amount of B's and high C's. I guess he is 25, been playing MLB for 3 years, is a career .237 hitter, but popped 30 HR's this year. So, in my digital world, he is like a career .230 hitter but has A potential when he probably shouldn't. Blah. He's hitting like .270 iirc. I know SD asked way too much for Chase Headley so he isn't going anywhere. I'm not going to turn to Hanley Ramirez. All that is left is Carpenter and he doesn't look like he'll be better than Morel in all honesty. Blah.

They want Flowers (B+) and either Castro (B+) or Nestor Molina (B+). Big need at catcher so I get that. Thoughts?

What do the pirates have at 3rd if Alvarez is gone?

Josh Harrison?

Yep. But if the season's a waste, what's it matter? Get ready for the future instead...

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What do you think of:

Flowers (B)
Molina (B+)
Gregory Infante (C)

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I want him bit I think I will leave him be. If he is an A for whatever reason, they will want to keep him. If it was a walk year, I'd go for him.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Slow day at work so I figured I'd kill time by valuing some White Sox players

Peavy - 2 low B's
Rios - 1 low B
Dunn - 2 high C's
Konerko - 1 mid B
Floyd - 2 low B's
Crain - 2 mid C's
Thornton - 2 high C's
Ramirez - 2 high C's
Viciedo - 1 low B
Pierzynski - 2 high C's
Danks - 2 low B's

Just a general idea of their value without performances in mind. Y'all agree?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'd say Konerko is worth at least 1 high B or two mid B's. other than that, it looks pretty good to me!

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Peavy - 2 mid B's
Rios - 1 low B, 1 high C
Dunn - one low B
Konerko - 1 high B
Floyd - 2 high C's
Crain - 1 high C
Thornton - 2 high C's
Ramirez - 1 low B
Viciedo - 2 high C's
Pierzynski - 2 high C's
Danks - 2 high C's

Approximately what I think is about right.

I forgot about Gordon Beckham. Low B and high C? There's still upside and a change of scenery might do him some good

Mid B, high C.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Beckham is an A potential in the game (remind you of that Pedro Alvarez stuff last night?). Peavy may be injury prone but the standard rental deal for a pitcher his caliber has been 3 B's.

I'm going to be a buyer this year, though, so it doesn't matter but I do appreciate it--might use it next year because I'm sure Paulie will retire and maybe AJ as well.

Right now, I've got a black hole at 3B and Youk is not an option. I'd also like a LF, preferrably with speed who can hit righties. My team is very station to station and Viciedo mashes LHP but is weak against RHP. At least one of the 3B or LF needs to be a LHH. Eric Chavez is an option. He's only hitting .150 and maybe NYY are misusing him? Scott Podsednik still isn't signed either. Thoughts?

Current bench for Royals are: Giovatella, Falu, Sal Perez, Bourgeois.

Doumit being my DH, he's doing horrible against lefties and my bench are mainly for pinch runners and defense.

Looking for a power righty off the bench. Wondering if I should also get a power/contact lefty for bench, but I don't think I'll need with such a lefty dominant lineup (gordon, moose, hosmer, dyson)

Sorry for rambling, but now that you know my situation, who is a good righty power bat for the bench (i don't mind them being under team control since doumit may not come back) and what would I have to give up? I was looking at Casper Wells for starters
