Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Haven't made any trades yet and struggling with hitting and outfield fielding. So looking to move JPA to 1b with Encarnacion to DH. And make this trade:
Get:
Saltalamacchia and Ellsbury
Give:
Lind,Blanco,Thole,Anderson and Alford
What do you think?

This is really, really unfair

Also, JPA's wOBA at 1B kinda makes me laugh a bit, then I remember he's a Jay, then I cry myself to sleep.

I'll leave this to AC for the final verdict because idk much about Anderson or alford but I say the red sox are getting ripped

It's a bit painful to read.

Anderson's my boy though

I thought it was unfair because it was 2 separate trades using the games trade logic what Prospects should I include in the deal to make it fair?

Ones that have value would be nice

Osuna + Norris/Nolin + Davis + Barreto + Thole = Ellsbury + Salty.

If Norris is an A, don't include him, include Nolin. If Norris is a B, include him.

Also, to whoever said Thole has no value, I VEHEMENTLY disagree.

DJ Davis, not Rajai, to be clear! Whoops. You know, the fast one. DJ's a really nice prospect.

Thole is just to replace Salty because Lavarnway suuuuuuuuuuucks. I think Thole DOES hold minor value though

not enough to warrant being included in this particular trade....gimme a C prospect instead

Norris is an A so went with Nolin, thanks for the help man. And I agree with you on the Thole front.

C prospect instead of Thole but then The Sox wouldn't have a major league ready catcher other than Ross as they are set on having Nap at 1b.

thats fine and dandy....if im a team getting rid of a key cog, i'd want the best return possible, no matter what position they play...accepting somebody like Josh Thole does nothing for me in the long run especially when i can sign a FA to fill in for a year if my situation was really that dire

He's a 26 year old catcher that can hit for contact and play defense

some middling C prospect isn't greater value

a 26 year old that has NO upside whatsoever.....i rather take my chances on the prospect

Sorta cool how loosely you toss around the phrase 'no upside'

His one not-above-average season was injury/BABIP-marred

Solid peripherals, and if you take out his last injured season then he's well above average for a catcher.

But sure, 'no upside.' Totally lol.

i watched enough of Thole to know what kind of player he is...no upside

Come on..

9% BB%

12% K%

Solid line drive hitter, 23%

The eyes of one NY-athlete-hating person isn't the only way to evaluate a player
