Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Yeah hes there because of the trade yes. So its 2 high A's?? Glad i drafted 2 A's in 2012

Soo i guess the royals need some new pitching prospects or outfielders. 1 B Pitcher and 1 B RF?

If the Royals traded one of baseball's Top Prospects (#3), and another Top 100 prospect (#30) AND a mid B (Montgomery), then they'd want the same, if not, more than they put forward to get him IMHO...

But we could all agree that they overpaid. Just because the Royals are stupid doesn't make me think that the OP should have to pay the same price IMO.

Also, you could technically say they paid that for Shields AND Wade Davis so the price for just shields would be less than what the Royals paid

Also, he said he is in 2013 so Shields would command less of a return because he is a rental

Wade Davis has little to no trade value in the show. He's a reliever so take out Montgomery's POT (mid B) and your good. I think that AT Least and A straight up. The Royals put alot of value in him so that means they expect the same value back after only 1 year since that trade IMO...

Davis will be used as a starter on KC

Starting gives you much more value

This.

Also The Royals would be laughed at by GM's if they asked for two A's for a half year of James Shields

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Yeah pretty much. Which prospects do you have in mind?

I was thinking about RF Josh Bell and RHP Victor Black

That way i give them the #5 and #16 prospects in the pirates organization.

Folks, the spreadsheet is officially out of the alpha phase. It will be released as a beta and be expanded to include more editors within the coming days.

Huge props to Totte on this one.

irl, the going rate for a rental is usually high B, 2 mid-B's, and a low B/High C. I think that we settled on 3 mid B's on here, though. 3 mid-B's equals 1 A and a C? so that could be another option...

I don't think mid B's can ever realistically equal an A, unless a GM wants reaaaaaaaalllly wants quantity over quality, and there aren't many who are like that. I think a High B/low B/High C = Mid A/mid C

This is true and a good point. But I'm saying that if you are going after a rental and don't want to give 3 B's ala this year's Greinke trade, couldn't you give an A and say, 1 or 2 C's ala the Wheeler for Beltran trade? (though iirc, they gave more but I hope you get what I'm trying to say).

This means more quality going to that other team over quantity...

Yeah, but looking at this on a case-by-case basis, there are very few players worth an A for a rental- not even Grienke was. Jean Segura is a midhigh B.

I think Shields would probably be worth a high, high B as a rental, but he's not Grienke.

Thanks but I wouldn't have been able to pull it off and shape it into what its become without your effort and knowledge
