lol, man I can't imagine what my season would've been like if I called up Delgado earlier.

He just threw a 1 hit shutout vs the Bo Sox at Fenway.

He certainly has the stuff to be a top of the rotation pitcher.He could be a big boost for you without even having to trade anything.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Not really trade talk but.

Have you guys ever signed or traded for someone that is poorly rated and then had them just put up unreal numbers? Has happen a couple of times for me in the past but like second week in the season my third basemen was playing like crap. I didnt want to call up Sano even though he is my best 3rd basemen in my system. So I traded for Erick Almonte have always liked him used to be on the yankees was a high prospect but after that he has been floating around used to play SS and 3rd now plays 1st. Has like below avg contact and same with power.

As of right now this is his stat line batting last and playing third for me.

Eric Almonte: AVG: .810 , AB: 21 , H: 17 , HR: 1 , RBI: 7 , 2B's: 4 , Triples: 1 , Fielding%: .955

I have no idea what it is his batting stance or the fact he isnt a good hitter so they give me strikes but I will hit decent liners all day with him. I'm not moving him from the last spot or editing his position in fear of jinxing this lol

That's amazing lol, but I know what you mean, that guy for me last year was Cody Ransom.I'm only 5 games into my Blue Jays franchise so I don't know who it'll be this time.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

o ya another thing I ment to ask everyone. What our your personal house rules signing free agents? Because normally there our some soild players in there and if your using the OFSM roster you got Jorge Solar and such in there?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So this is the trade I ended up doing:

Tigers get:
2B Johnny Giavotella - 25 year old with B potential
SP Jake Buchanan - 23 year old with C potential

My Astros get:
RP Al Alburquerque - 26 year old with B potential

This gives me Rhiner Cruz, Wilton Lopez, and now Al Alburquerque as solid guys I can bring in from the bullpen.

I still need to find a decent left-handed RP though.

Have your tried hideki okajima? I play on pretty hard sliders and he has pitched fantastic for me I signed him very cheap to. If you want to try and trade for a soild young lefty rp Rex Brothers straight up throws smoke. But I would really look and okajma I have been very happy with him

Okajima's a little old for me. I'm looking for a somewhat young guy that can grow with my team.

I'll definitely be looking into Rex Brothers though.

Scott Elbert from he dodgers he been lights out for me

I'll be looking into Elbert as well.

Thanks fellas.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Im the Cubs, i am looking at getting Santana from the Mets, what is a fair deal for him?

[Helios12787]

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

To the question about free agent house rules:

1) I sent Soler to the Cubs since that is where I believe he will end up.

2) Since I'm using 30 team control I will be bidding on FAs (in the offseason that is) based on each team's needs / available cash. I don't want CPUs stacking up on players they dont need, nor will I be doing it either.

3) NEVER, and i mean NEVER sign a free agent just to use him as trade bait (people used to do this in my Madden leagues and it would drive me crazy).

[BamaFan1309]

i'd give up 3 B's for Beltran

Any suggestions on which ones?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Here are the guys I've been looking at:

Jake McGee - 25, B Potential, Rays
Zach Braddock - 24, C Potential, Brewers
Matt Reynolds - 27, C Potential, Rockies
Scott Elbert - 26, C Potential, Dodgers
Troy Patton - 26, C Potential, Orioles

I use the Orioles and I get absolutely shelled every time I bring Patton in relief, so BEWARE.

John Lester is on the trading block in my franchise and it looks like they will accept a straight up deal for friggin' Chris Davis. I am so tempted to do this, but it feels really unfair.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Trade Gerald Laird C, minor league prospect (C potential) for Brett Gardner LF.

I managed to trade Brandon Inge 3B to the Blue Jays for Jeff Mathis C.

There were other lesser knowns in the trades but can't remember who they involved.

These trades solved my depth at Catcher situation, and gave me a legitimate lead off hitter. I was able to move Austin Jackson to the 2 hole and sometimes down in the 7th or 8th spot depending on the lineup I am trotting out.

Best part is that I didn't deplete my minor leagues.
