Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

While a lot of the major publications have Taillon and the Pirates' best prospect, not everyone agrees and I'm one of them.

Here's a good article comparing the two if you're interested.

I also like that Gerrit Cole has experience being the ace of a staff (UCLA).

I think Taillon has the most trade value and if Allie develops well I think he can be as good as Taillon. I also like McPherson's potential to be a good #2 or great #3.

fair enough...im not familiar with how prospects get rated so i'll take ur word for it....well if ur seriously willing to trading Taillon, im sure u could get a Brett Lawrie-type guy back in return

Wade Davis from the Rays.....it wouldn't take any top prospects to acquire him...maybe 2 *C* prospects

I'm the Cubs sitting at 11-21 right now. I'm in desperate need of offense. I'm looking to deal Soriano and Randy Wells. I'm willing to part ways with my two young A-Potential and B-Potential first basemen.

Any ideas?

If you want to, you can sign Roy Oswalt for a year and use him while Drabek develops for another year in AAA.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I just started a franchise as both the Brewers and Indians. Brewers I am not looking to make any moves, but for the Indians I am looking to move Travis Hafner. I would move Duncan to DH and Brantley into left. The biggest reason is so I can find room for Jose Lopez so I got more options off the bench. I like Kotchman over Hafner because of the fielding and contact and I have done well with him in the past and Hafner I would get a bit more for I think.

If I could use anything to get for the MLB club it would be a RP, but I am not really in need or want to move one. What do you guys think I could get a for a prospect or 2? 2 C's, 1 C, 1 C & 1 D ect. I don't think he commands a ton of value for his age, but I wanted to get someones thoughts on the deal as I might be under valuing him.

I really don't want to wait towards the deadline where I probably could get more for him from a contender as I don't feel my bench can hold up with only 1 backup infielder where with Lopez on the squad I have potentially 3 backups at 1st if needed a 2nd infielder and a ton more speed at left.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

In a last effort to shore up my catcher position with a defensive catcher (Soto is absolutely horrible for me), Kurt Suzuki was on the block.

I'm trying everything I can the A's don't seem to budge for any position besides a C in return and 3rd base. I like to keep trades realistic in terms of whats given up/given in return.

Cubs get:
C Suzuki

A's get:
C Soto
3B Ian Stewart

Sound fair for what I'm getting. I feel like maybe I shoud throw a mid-level prospect in there. C potential OF or P might do the trick eh?

EDIT: I am also looking for a LH utility type player who can pinch hit, play 2B, and play 3B sparingly. I just need another LH bat for my bench. I got 1 lefty and 4 righties.
I was thinking Chris Getz from the Royals. Maybe a swap for 2B Jeff Baker? He's 2 years older, but also cheaper and a little better hitter.

How about Drew Sutton? Can swing it a little bit and is a switch-hitter.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

he's a utility guy....i wouldnt trade for him to be anything other than that

Yeah. Isn't that what he was looking for?

[JJohnsJR244]

No chance any of ur proposed trades would go down....a 37-year old knuckleballer isn't gunna fetch much in trades much less guys of Cargo's status....all those pitchers u just named are still relatively young...why would they take back Dickey?

Because he is the freaking man!

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So when the OS rosters come out I think I'm going to be running as the Mariners because I love their young talent in Smoak, Ackley, Montero, and the pitchers. My first order of business though will be to trade the 2 players that I've never been able to produce with: King Felix and Ichiro.

I'm thinking of trading Felix to Tampa in exchange for D. Jennings and a couple of their pitching prospects (Felix loves pitching against the Yankees). I'm not too sure what to try and get for Ichiro though. What do you guys think for both players?

I would be really surprised if Tampa traded for Felix. They're a small market team and historically do not trade prospects for big name guys. Also being a small market team no way they take on Felix's contract in which he is owed $18.5 million in 2012, $19.5 million in 2013 and $20 million in 2014.

Mike Minor. Still under team control for a while, decent upside. The Braves would trade him for the right price, and we know the Jays/Braves will deal with each other.
