Stop posting your unrealistic stuff in here...you can do it all you want, but stop derailing a good, productive thread with what basically amounts to spam.

Dempster to the A's for SP Sonny Gray (B) and C Max Stassi (B)

Reed Johnson to the Rangers for OF Joey Butler (C)

DeJesus and SP Brett Wallach to the Brewers for OF Kentrail Davis (B)

Byrd and Kerry Wood to the Mets for RP Pedro Beato (C) OF Kirk Niewenhurs (C) and OF Brandon Nimmo (B)

Made all of these trades

I bolded the ones I don't like. Jokes aside;

Dempster to the A's? Come on. Never happening.

Texas has enough outfield depth.

DeJesus isn't worth a B.

Byrd is barely worth a C, Wood is retired. Nimmo? No...

Byrd is a FA after being suspended 50 games for PED's lol

Trying to get this thread back.

At the deadline I managed to get Nick Swisher (who was their 4th outfielder) for David Ross, who was hitting .290 with 5 homeruns in the backup role behind Mauer, 3B Debinson Romero (Yankees starter is Eduardo Nunez. Lol) and RF Oswaldo Arcia

I think in pure talent it might be selling Swisher short but due to the huge depth needs at C (Martin injured, Romine starting) and 3B, it still benefits the Yankees too.

First; Getting this thread back? Just curious, what does that mean?

Second; Sorry, but you ripped the CPU there.

it's basically Arcia for Swisher as Ross has no business being in this trade and the 3B i never heard of

i dont know why people include backup catchers in packaged trades for key prospects or star players....backup catchers belong in their own category and usually dont fetch more then a mid-C

Except for Jeff Mathis, he could probably fetch a few A's.

I wanted to give the Yankees some depth considering swisher was just sitting in the bench (30 games by July 31). With the Yankees in the playoff hunt I figured they would like to increase their chances by having someone better than Austin Romine and Eduardo Nunez as two of their starters

Kurt Suzuki>Jeff Mathis....not like that comparison is saying much

Depth < Swisher. Especially if Swisher was on the bench. Then, Swisher WAS the depth, and that depth is better than your depth.

sure but Swish is still a hell of a better player then Ross and whoever that 3B is combined...with them in the playoff hunt, they wouldnt be trading for Arcia

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ok, I see. Letting Swisher go after the year is over anyway, so this one sided trade is not going to impact for years to come
