Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just out of curiosity since the D-Backs are interested in trading Justin Upton or exploring the possibility, what would be a realistic return for them?

3 legit MLB starters.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

i think realistically a team would wait until late June before trading

This. After ST, teams prepare for the draft. After that, they try to sign picks. Then, the deadline deals start to warm up. The Carlos Lee deal is the earliest date to consider and that was pretty early. If the Astros are obviously sellers already, then use that date as a gauge.

No starting pitching or more outfield tbh. Look at infield positions like 3rd base and the middle infield. What team are you, Royals? The Moose would definitely have to be included in that trade.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I am wanting to trade Chris Iannetta back to the Rockies. I would like to pick up 2 former Angels prospects in return. They are Tyler Chatwood and Brandon Woods.

Tyler Chatwood = B Potential
Brandon Woods = D Potential

Chris Iannetta = B Potential

What else would I need to make this realistic? Maybe a C starting pitcher? I know getting Brandon back isn't realistic. But I will put him up in AA and depending how he performs depends on if i resign him.

Thanks guys.

As the Tribe are my favorite team and I have a ticket package I know alot about this team. Theyd probably wait till June or July and instead for te time being use options like Kevin Slowey or Jeanmar Gomez

2 starters and two good prospects. Preferably a 3B somewhere in there.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So I am about 2 1/2 weeks from the deadline in my new Astros franchise and was looking around for prospects I could send Wandy for. He is pitching fairly well so far ..

6-8 3.23ERA 85K's 24BB's 1.13 WHIP 119IP

I know I should be able to get 2 B's for him, but I was wondering if I include a prospect or two could I pull an A? I was thinking somebody like Jonathan Villar B Potential (no use with Correa), Delino Deshields Jr B potential, Telvin Nash B Potential, Fernando Martinez B potential.

Could I pull a low A with 2 of those guys added to the mix or probably not? I'm talking prospects not MLB ready talent. If not its cool I'm looking for realism, just trying to get the most bang for my buck.

3 legit MLB starters.

Not with the way hes playing right now...if you're looking at prospects I say 2 HighA's and 1 low A. Along with 2 mind B's

If you're looking for MLB ready I say 2 would be enough for his talent...3 is too much IMO

It also determines what the team acquiring upton has on the farm and if they have enough ppl to fill holes after giving up "the house" for him

realistically, why would a contending team want to take back a prospect?

They stated they aren't looking for prospects return

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

In my Mets franchise I'm thinkin about going for Shane Victorino.. I have Zach Wheller and another A poyential starting pitcher prospect.. Would those 2 A potential prospects be enough? My only untouchables are Wright, Santana, Davis, and possibly Bay... Thanks in advance..

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I dunno I feel like it must happen from time to time. Say in a hypothetical situation the Yankees had a low A potential player in their minors playing say CF. They want Wandy to be in their rotation so I trade them him and say a prospect SS who could be ready once jeter retires and maybe a 3B prospect as well. Contender's still want pieces that can work in the future I feel like.

Regardless I'll just go after the two B's. I'm thinking of maybe bolstering my bullpen a bit.
