2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

[Totte]

As for the reliever, there's Evan Crawford, Brett Cecil, Joel Carreno, Sam Dyson, Brad Lincoln.

Doubt they'd move Lincoln since they used Snider to get him but Dyson sounds interesting. What name do you think is the best fit for the Angels pen?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Probably Lincoln due to his experience. No one in our bullpen is off limits, trust me. Except Stroman, probably.

I'm sure DiPoto would gladly take on Lincoln. You're the GM

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Sounds ok to me



Paxton/Walker/Hultzen from the Mariners?

Leake or Bailey from the Reds? (No clear need for a C though)

Karstens and Tabata from the Pirates?

Masterson from the Indians? LaPorta outrighted, Hafner and Kotchman ain't coming back meaning more time for Santana at 1B over Russ Canzler. Only other C is Lou Marson so Arencibiba would be a fit

I almost coughed out a lung after reading this

How is Arencibia anything more than positional filler at this point? Sure he hits HR's, but he doesn't walk, strikes out a ton, and plays sub par defense. Salty does everything Arencibia does and better to boot, and we all know what his value is.

Glad it stayed put cuz that would have been a tricky surgery putting your lung back in place . Either way, I get what your saying and going back reading what I wrote, it's extremely lopsided. My vision of ponying up more than JPA for one of those guys didn't reach the keyboard as I had my head burping out names for other trade targets and just kept writing

I do however feel that JPA offers more upside than Salty and that comes from me being a Sox fan. Not saying there's a huge difference but if I were to value them, Salty would be a high C and JPA a low to weak mid B

I like the Arencibia for Richards trade though, I could see that happening straight up.

I like that too, although I wouldn't mind throwing in another arm.

I wouldn't laugh TOO hard at JPA for Paxton, because from what I've read there are GMs who think he'll be anywhere from a #2 to a reliever, so it's possible. But Hultzen or Walker... no.

Yeah Paxton looks to have dropped in value this past season without GM Jack 'I can't spell his last name' wanting to see it. He needs to hit the ground running in 2013 to regain value and consideration as a top of the rotation starter other than a no 4 or 5 guy

It was more of the overall situation, I wouldn't mind rolling with Montero/Jaso until Zunino is ready and if Z is really trying to find a platoon partner for Jaso then I'd rather he go after a defense first vet.

I'm really hoping the Mariners sell high on Paxton because he has a good chance of never reaching his full potential. Not saying he's likely to be a bust, but I don't really see him as a TOR pitcher, although Gio somehow made it work but it took him a couple of years.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

JPA would fit in your lineup nicely, if not for any other reason than he can actually hit.

Similar to how the Rays need to sell high on Hellickson.

I don't really think being a back end starter is an option for him. If he cuts down on the walks he's a #2, and if he doesn't he ends up as 7th or 8th inning guy. If he can just get his BB/9 under 4 then he becomes a legit starter.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

How much do you guys think the Jays could get for Escobar?

[AC]

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If he's not wearing eye black and he's actually hitting a couple of low-mid B's, but if he's playing like he did IRL a couple of mid C's

[37]

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

2 high C's for a halfway decent Escobar

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

2 high C's for Escobar

Gotta know his performance
