Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

How should I make this trade realistic?

The Rockies offered me a trade and here is a little background first. I'm completly out of it right by the All-Star game and the Rockies are leading the WC by .5 games and are 1.5 back in the division. There lineup has been amazing besides 3B. Were they have a relovling door of .220 hitters with no pop. So they were interested in Danny Valencia who is putting up good pop numbers in Target field. They offered me.

Twins trade: Valencia ( In Major Leagues ) B Potential 27 Y/O High overall. Hes hittting .260 while leading the league in doubles with 27. He has 10 home runs and 40 rbis. Also is playing great D.

Rockies trade: Hector Gomez ( In AAA ) C potential 23 Y/O Batting .280 without much pop.
Pomeranz ( In AAA ) A potential hes 8-6 with a 3.3 ERA with 78 strikeouts and 38 walks.
Nolan Arenado ( In AAA ) A potential hes batting .229 with 2 home runs

What could I do to make this trade fair? I want to make the trade but with a variation to make sure its fair because its actually a good idea by the CPU to get a legit starting 3B.

Take out Arenado and Pomeranz and add 2 low B's

Thanks, exactly what I was thinking. How about this...

Twins trade: Valencia B potential.

Rockies trade: Alex White B potential and Hector Gomez C potential.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright I just want to see what people thought of the trades I made with the Twins, since I'm rebuilding.

Twins trade: Span B pot ( hitting near .300 more walks than strikeouts was 4th in SB and 1st for gold glove. )

Yankees trade: David adams B pot ( .260 8 hr 40 rbis ) Joba Chamberlin B pot( 5.00 era in AAA ) and Jose Campos B pot ( was in single A )

Twins trade: Valencia B pot and Glen Perkins ( B overall but C potential )

Rockies trade: Alex white B pot, Another B pot SP who had B velocity forget his name, and Hector Gomez C potential. ( 3B and Relief pitching has been horrid for the Rockies. )

Twins trade: Eddie Rosario B pot 20 Y/O, Oswaldo Arcia B pot, Levi Michael B pot 21 Y/O

Blue Jays trade: Brandon Morrow B pot. ( Needed a guy who can strike guys out and lead a rotation. )

Twins trade: Wilingham ( had big power numbers but thats about it )

Giants trade: meija ( Low B potential pitcher who was on a cold streak ) Giants are right in the race but have the worst offense in the NL. Wilingham has been a monster for them..

Twins trade: Carlos Gutierez B potential 23 Y/O, Joe Benson 23 Y/O B potential ( athletic ) Nishioka B pot 26 Y/O

Phillies trade: Dominic Brown A pot ( Was hitting .220 in AAA with no power. )

Hey, if he keeps it up IRL, I guess you could make a case...

First trade; It's fair, but I don't think Joba is a fit for you.

Second trade; It's fair, and I like it for you.

Third trade; I'd hate it IRL, but it's fine in game if the Jays are out of it.

Fourth trade; It's fair, and pretty good for you.

Fifth trade; I wouldn't have given up Benson tbh.... if he was playing THAT bad.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

@ MattGarza13: regarding your trades, i'd rather substitute a C prospect for Joba as i think 3 B's are a bit too much for Span...nothing wrong with your 2nd trade....with the Jays trade, i dont see gutting a mediocre farm system for a hit-and-miss veteran as much sense....fine with your 4th trade....Phillies wouldnt want Nishioka in return so i'd probably substitute another prospect

Yah I'd agree about the Joba statement he has a 5 era in the Majors for me.. But I look at it this way hes young and has nasty stuff. Hes a low risk high reward. He'll either die in the Minors or be a good setup guy.

Yah the Jays are one of 2 teams totally out of it in the East.

I only gave up Benson too because he was blocked. I have a young and talented OF and I like Brown so I thought what the heck..

I agree but I thought it was a move the Yankees would maybe do in real life if they were in a 3 team race for the division and wild card spot. Span would put them over the top

Well to be fair my OF is stacked and I have my SS and 2B for the future already so I didn't need them as much. I wanted a guy that I could hold on to for 3-4 years and be a solid number 2.

and for the Phillies Polanco is hurt for 4 weeks. So I thought they'd want a super utility guy that can play pretty much any position.

Ugh, The Show hates my Jays...

I would've packaged Benson in a different deal for something better.
