Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I totally agree with u, but do u think they would make THAT trade?

I doubt for Peavy no. I wouldn't make that trade. Addison Reed is supposed to be one of the best upcomming closers in baseball tho, he's the real deal as far as I can tell. He was Strasburg's closer in college. I think Rendon, Rodriquez, and Lidge for Peavy, and Reed is probably a lateral move at best. H-Rod is up there with Chapman as the hardest throwers in the major leagues, Rendon has a chance to be special, and Lidge is a solid bullpen arm. Peavy is looking like he's got it again however, but at the same time he is 31 now.

PRETTY sure he's moving to second base..

Does anyone really care where I sent this from?

He very well may, he is playing 3rd right now tho in his first action. I honestly don't know if he's ever played 2nd in his life. He was a converted shortstop, played 3rd 2 years at Rice, and DH'd as a senior.

I've all but given up on the AI trade logic. This is using OS Full Minors.

Braves:
- Brian McCann

Rays:
- Carlos Pena
- Minor Leaguer
- Minor Leaguer

I lost it when I saw this. Why on earth would Atlanta need Carlos Pena when they have Freddie Freeman? I checked and he wasn't injured so it wasn't a "must" for a playoff push. But why trade their best catcher? Especially for a position you already have?

Then, a month later the Braves traded for a catcher. Well, you don't say? You need a catcher now?

I see this all the time from the CPU where they get trade happy and trade away one position and then end up trading for that position when they could've just kept the player.

I think a lot of it has to do with contracts. There are so many 1/1 contracts that the CPU just goes all out trading them. Once you get a year or so down the line in franchise trading settles down a bit as teams keep players that have longer contracts. 90% of your team isn't 1/1.

Still, other than 30 team control I just play franchise with trading off.

Or you can just save after every game you play and THEN simulate the day, IF any stupid trades, like the one u just mentioned, happened you can just exit without saving and then simulate the day again .

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Look at this trade in my franchise.

Cardinals trade:
Shelby Miller
Tajuan Walker ( acquired from the mariners for Carlos Beltran)
Oscar Traveras

To the Braves for: David Ross (Catcher)

Yep, the Cardinals traded their 3 most highly touted prospects for a Backup catcher (Molina is healthy)

For some reason, the computer AI loves certain players. I've seen stuff like that for Ross and Elliot Johnson. I was trying a trade and it was for a good player, and I just put Johnson in it, because I was going through roster, and they would've accepted just him! I didnt do it though!

I wouldn't even do that trade for piazza numbers! He said molina wasnt even injured! Unless he was hitting like Ted Williams and babe Ruth combined, I wouldn't even look at that deal!

you're right but im just giving a situation where it'd make at least .1% sense...have no clue what STL was tryin to do but there's the trade logic for u....not that we havent beat it to a pulp yet

Ya, I know what yo meant. If he was hitting like piazza, then you could look at a deal as stl, but would only have to send 1 prospect probably!

I'm playing as the Rangers and I want to add Lincicum. I was thinking of Trading Feliz for him with a couple other players. I have problems pitching with Feliz

I assume you want to know what some of those other players can be?

Try packaging Feliz with Profar or Olt and one of the top arms like Martin Perez

Rangers wouldn't trade Profar! They'd trade Andrus way before that!

They'd have to to get Timmeh.
