Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thanks guys. I'm not in front of my game but I'm thinking maybe a Dillon Maples or Matt Szczur lead package (depending on Szczur potential) plus 2 other C's.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

AC--Wil Myers and Bryce Harper were converted from catching because their bats play now. Myers might be a good option? PIT had a prospect C who didn't look bad. TEX alo if they didn't trade him this year (I can't remember for sure). I doubt SD looks to get rid of Hedges unless you can upgrade their SS maybe. They've got Spangenberg and what's his name who can play 3B/2B, plus a plethora of decent utility guys.

As for the spreadsheet--I definitely trust you are on the right track and know where to go with this. Thanks for the props.

Anything I miss?

Myers was just traded, wouldn't be traded again.

SS.. hmm... Bonifacio may work.

The spreadsheet is really coming along

How far is it along? How can I contribute?

Totte and I are drawing up preliminary values for every player in baseball. Once we're done, if someone wants to make a change, we'll discuss it in here, and if it's agreed upon, an authorized user will make the change.

I am in year 4 of my Franchise won back to back WS Titles with the Rays But the Yanks are offering me Robision Cano for Shields And moore. Would you all take that? Seems like a bad trade.

Sorry, you must be looking ahead to MLB13? Bonifacio is too much of what they already have, they don't need another utility guy. Another possiblility that they woud look for is a RF. Maybe a combination of RF and SP.

Look to PHI for a C prospect since they have Valle and Tommy Joseph. Others that could be interesting are Bethancourt, Alfaro, and Tony Sanchez from PIT (he usually gets a B ovr) and that Castro guy in HOU. Not sure how many starters are in that group but a good platoon could be made. Swihart and Gary Sanchez should be thrown in though I don't believe Swihart will progress that well (I have my reasons).

Anything's possible in year 4 depending on what has happened the previous 3 years but my first hunch is 'no'...in the same division as well which has a stigma

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What would it take to get Bonifacio & Mujica from Miami? Either together individually. They are in 3rd place 6 back in late May. I know it's a little early but my BP is struggling and i could use some speed.

Thanks.

If you want to keep it realistic, then where are they in the wild card? 6 GB isn't that large of a gap in May, especially if they have WC possibilities. I'd say overpay to make it realistic--not greatly but if they still havea chance then yes. If Mujica is a mid-high C, then it has to be your best C or a low B. Make sense?

What is Matt Ceasar's overall potential? I love him as a prospect so I could say both for him!

They just offered it and its about a week before the allstar break and they are currently sitting 3.5 games behind me.

Maybe Rasmus and Happ?

Swihart never, ever progresses, same with the Sanchez's. Sanchi?

Bethancourt and Alfaro seem like the future, and Joseph would be unrealistic w/ him being recently acquired and Valle isn't as good as Joseph.

I have progression on Swihart in my franchise....not big gains...but positive progression.
He's 23.......and 64/50 50/60.
(not what you want to see out of a B...)
I'm dying to see what they've done in terms of progression/training for '13.

That should do it

Amaro would so trade him for a corner OF right now. Amaro's mind doesn't work like anybody else's so I wouldn't be THAT quick to say he wouldn't do it...

I've never seen Swihart get to that level. Can't wait to see how they fix everything.

That should do it

I should be able to replace Rasmus with Gose, but what about replacing Happ? Could I get aLuebke out of them? I'm actually really interested in that.

Amaro's an... interesting GM... There are probably better options, however.

He's also not on the Red Sox any longer...he's with the Reds.
Perhaps the coaches/farm/training that they did for C's works better?

Possibly, but it could all be random luck.
