Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

In my opinion real-life factors should matter. Like rjackson was saying... if we could apply real-life factors, why wouldn't we? It only makes the trades more realistic.

A significant amount, to be quite honest. Haven't kept track or anything, but he's missed time continually.

Those fools in Denver might not think that devalues him much--it might be the thin air.

d'Arnaud would have to be included, I'm sure. Rosario is a defensive liability at a key position so he'd have to learn to do better at 1b. Plus your highest or 2nd highest A SP--don't know who you still have? At least a mid-B RF...plus someone who did really well last year but really is not that good--if you are going for realism. It would simulate the quality of Colorado's front office (sorry Rox fans). That would be my opinion of a fair & realistic trade (and I'm assuming at how well the team is performing is similar to real life). It is just an opinion.

Let's move on--I get what you are saying, I really do. I also understand why AC asked and what he originally asked. I, me, myself, and not Irene, who has been to Denver but does not live there and who does not think much of Colorado's front office execs, who is merely a baseball fan attempting to get back to the purpose of this thread, believes that even with an extensive injury history--which is what was originally asked--does not affect Tulo's value in the eyes of those same execs I do not respect. /runonsentencefromhell

edit--AC, I'd give his value, generally speaking, between what you said in your counter and the first reply that you got . Specifically speaking to prying him from Colorado, you'd have to overypay especially considering that we are considering him devalued from our point of view but they overvalue him. Make sense? I'll leave it at that.

What's Tulo's durability rating in the game?

like 85-92% full bar

88, he seems to have injury problems every other year though...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually when you give a player a 10+ year contract that means you intend on keeping him, and personally I feel like Tulo is untouchable for the fact that the other 29 GMs wouldn't touch his contract with a 100 ft. pole so I highly doubt he's going anywhere. Plus, by the time he's in his mid 30's he won't hold much value anyway.

CarGo is a different story though, he's a year younger and has a much more favorable contract, IMO he's more desirable than Tulo. Elvis Andrus is pretty much the only high profile SS that can be had for a reasonable price at this point, although if anyone is further along in their franchise then I would look at either Nick Franklin or Brad Miller, the two cannot co-exist lol.

I'm more of a CarGo guy. AC, what's his real value 2 high B's and a mid B?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Didn't 35 already answer that for you?

There's a search function and Cargo's been mentioned many times in this thread... *hint*

That is...

AC, you are the GM, not AA. However, you still have to deal with that Rockies front office and seanjeezy is right--they didn't sign him for that long without intending on keeing him. I say it isn' realistic without you giving up the farm--literally!

I'd love to get Moosetacos and Hosemeer but I haven't figured out how to pull that one off yet...

[AC]

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Literally giving up the farm? I think you mean figuratively, the Blue Jays don't own a farm.

d'Arnaud and Moises Sierra. d'Arnaud is a ridiculously highly touted prospect (high A), so..

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys I did a fantasy draft and I'm looking to upgrade my lineup. Trying to trade for Joey Votto and wanted to know if you think that this trade offer is fair for both the computer and myself...

Trading:
SP Dylan Bundy (A Potential)
1B Yonder Alonso (A Potential)
SS Nick Punto (B Potential)

Recieving:
1B Joey Votto (A Potential)

I don't know what the Rockies line-up looks like in your franchise but they are pretty set on OF's and look to keep giving Wilin Rosario a shot at catcher (who's power is extremely under-rated). Look at their weaknesses... 1B, 2B, 3B if they don't have Arenado, RP, CP if they don't have Betancourt, and SS if your taking Tulo.

It would probably take more than an A+C to pry Tulo away.
