2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

[Totte]

What kind of value does Alex Rios offer? IRL he's been a true roller coaster from year to year but in the game - we talking a low B? There's 20-20 potential and I think we said two low B's for Shin Soo Choo a couple of weeks ago. Choo just feels "more safe" in regards of trading for an outfielder

Multi quote madness....

Whatever you say, bud.

There isn't really a way to rebuild your team unless you want to try to draft guys and wait for years and sign middling FAs then. Hell, I have Garrett Jones as my 1B.

That's sorta how us mortal, non-200MM-payroll guys rebuild, man. Drafting is a great thing.

I've tried fair trades. The CPU is never interested unless it is whooping my *** in the deal. I've offered plenty of deals where it's even and helping both of our 'wants/needs' and are even in money and ability. Not interested unless I am completely screwed by the deal.

Think about it from the CPU's perspective. It seems that you're not interested unless you're whooping their ***, as well.

I have to completely overwhelm a team just to get a decent player, even when they're completely out of the running.

They had to give you two A's to get A-Rod. That's the exact same thing.

There are never any options in the offseason for FAs. And when there is one, they almost always sign with their original team despite an offer blowing the OT's away.

Once again, drafting is such a great tool.

So when they come back and offer me something of value for something I don't need, I do it. The only deal I think might be "unfair" was the A-Rod one since I figured he'd be gone and they'd have traded a couple prospects. The others I traded steady players for prospects.

3 A's for Alex Rodriguez is more than unfair. Jurickson Profar for Mark Texiera, even straight up, is unfair. Getting anything more than a C for Russell Martin is unfair. And I don't know what you traded for Matsuz.

Responses in bold.

There's always 30-team control and the feedback you can get from us fellow gamers here on the boards. Always someone online that can help on determining a fair value in a deal or a specific player.

Like a wise man once said about 30-team control: Learn it, live it, love it.

Damn straight.

What is it that you always say AC? "30 Team Control. Learn it. Love it. Live it." ?

Anyways...back on topic before somebody says something that gets this thread locked.

I can't think of a good guy to ask a price about, so somebody ask away. AC you've always got ideas and trades floating, go!

EDIT: Totte, we both thought the same thing

Help me help you, toss out some positions and I gotcha.

Actually, I got some questions of my own. What would Troy Tulowitzki('s massive contract) cost with the Rockies not giving anything back? Contract + injuries = not much, I'd assume.

What'd a rental Brian McCann cost?

You're right, Drafting is a great tool!!! Especially for the Red Sox who now have NOBODY good under the age of 27 that's not a prospect!!!

EDIT: Oops I forgot about De La Rosa!!! Is he still considered a prospect??? He might be in our rotation next year...

I know that you like realism so I'll tell you that Tulo is untouchable.

McCann is someone that they'd prefer to resign so your renting him is taking away their chances to do so so you'd have to overwhelm them and overpay for him. Actually, just read they exercised his option but still...

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I've read enough stuff to know that Tulo certainly isn't 'untouchable,' and that we're past that era. Which actually makes me want to punch a wall.

If he didn't have a MASSIVE contract he would be worth 3 A's and a mid B IMO. Since he has a MASSIVE contract... It'll probably cost you 2 A's and a mid-high B IMO.

Plus you are definetly right... we've all watched enough baseball to know NOBODY's untouchable.

I wholeheartedly agree with the first assessment of 3 A's, but I'll counter his current value with three B's OR one A.

3 High B's I hope

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

High B's? The dude's a chandelier right now.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

chandelier

In all honesty I've never heard of that figure of speech!!!
please elaborate!!! It's probably something so obvious!!! (just don't call me stupid please)

Extremely fragile. Extremely, really, seriously fragile.

He has good durability...
So what's his final worth, because if he's going THAT cheap, I'll buy.

EDIT: Well he's not as bad as Peavy...

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Is that serious?

He played 47 games. 47. That's pathetic. He's never played a full season (gotten close, though).

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'd say Tulo is worth an A and a B
