2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I might do the reds trade cause i really like hamiliton. My team would consist of bourjos, trout, carlos gomez, and hamilton haha now thats speed

You'd be running wild on the bases stealing home in every game

Zero chance the Sox do this

Thinking the Sox might take 80 cents of the dollar to dump the salary and commitment to a guy who's had some back issues with so-so command his year. Won't be long before the Sox go rebuilding the way they're playing and the way their clubhouse chemistry is poisoned

Any other team in baseball, out side of NYY would do exactly this.

Unfortunately, I agree with Nofatgirlz. BOS will never rebuild in the manner I believe they should. Not this year, anyway. I just don't see that happening within that culture with a new real life GM.

Not during year one. He'd be hung.

that trade would be like 10 cents on the dollar...even tho Buchholz isn't Mr.Perfect IRL, all u'd u want back is a 4th OF'er and a veteran RP?...Miami would fly to Boston to pick up Buchholz if they could somehow pull this off

i dont agree with the bolded part...no team would trade a Buchholz-type for a spare outfielder and a veteran RP no matter how crazy he drives u...even a team like Pittsburgh or Oakland would have enough brains to know that they'd have to give up something of actual value to acquire Buchholz....Remember, he is actually talented and has shown it

That's not what I meant.

NO TEAM would trade a Bucholtz only to recieve THAT in return. I watch him pitch often. He had LOADS and LOADS of talent. And a nasty change up (that he can even work effectively to righties! LOL!) at that.

I was commenting on BOS' disinterest in a rebuild in general, and about how fractured their clubhouse is.

I agree, that trade is so incredibly lopsided, Miami would most definitely fly there to pick up the player (as you said)!

Would the Marlins part with Dominguez now that Hanley is playing 3B? Cishek a better option than Mujica then I guess because he carries more value. What's that guy the Marlins drafted in the 1st round last year? Jair Fernandez? Good SP upside

i think the Sox would ask for Yelich 1st but yeah i dont see Dominguez being a hold-up if the Sox asked for him....i dont think Cishek is an attractive enough of a piece

Hard to see Hamilton being moved within the division but package would have to be Paxton, Walker, Liddi, Wilhelmsen and something else like Gutierrez

Didn't Andrus sign a 3 year extension just a few months ago that would keep him in Texas until Profar is ready?

I think Andrus & Profar will take the field together at some point. Profar will probably move to 2nd and push Kinsler either out of town or to a different position.

I don't think any package is going to be enough, realistically -- especially within the division. The Rangers know they are going to get the probable 2012 MVP at a big discount due to his substance issues.

Granted, the Show franchise you play, he won't be doping or boozing, so he'd probably sign for market value... I guess it all depends on the play of your franchise, but I just don't see Hamilton moving...especially seeing as how Texas is in win-now mode and not one of those prospects would crack their lineup or rotation, IMHO.

Like I said I'm not looking to make a move from a realistic stand poit I just want him on my team.

Just so you know, most of the posters here use this thread to decide if trades are realistic. You can easily get Hamilton on your squad if you don't care about ripping the Rangers off. Just hard to see them trading him in real life... it'd be like the Dodgers trading Kemp, or the Tigers moving JV or Cabrera. It's not happening, even if your deal could move mountains. If the Tigers moved Verlander there would be general mutiny in Detroit, what do you think would happen in Texas if they moved Josh today? Think about it.
