Who are some available catchers that the Mariners could acquire near the beginning of the 2013 season?

Starters or backups?

Either. Montero's not doing great so far, Zunino's not ready IMO, and I hate playing with Shoppach.

So I'm the Cubs and it's currently right at the trade deadline I'm 2.5 back in the division and leading the wildcard. I'm in desperate need of a 3b or a RF, I'm looking for power out of these spots. I've considered Trevor Plouffe for 3b, the twins are 19 games out and Trevor is having a good season. He's batting .284 12 hr's 42 rbi.

What would be a good trade to get him with? I haven't really looked at RF's yet so any good options there would help too. Thanks guys.

What if you got Josh Willingham and Plouffe in the same trade?

Well I'm basically tanking the whole team in 2013 and building to actually start playing games in 2014. I also traded Stanton for the olt/profar package. I guess I'm looking for MLB or close-to MLB talent and as you know my team has a buuuunch of holes.

How about to the Dodgers where he could shift between 1B/LF for Javy Guerra?

Strictly a bat would be Ryan Lavarnway from the Red Sox as he offers minimal defense. Or maybe get Salty from the Red Sox? How about Devin Mesoraco from the Reds or Nick Hundley from the Padres?

Guessing the Twins are in rebuilding mode and they're always on the lookout for pitchers? I'd say Plouffe for Trey McNutt (don't know that many Cubs prospects)

Salty or Mesoraco are options I've been looking at. I don't really like Hundley or Lavarnway.

What would it take to get Salty or Mesoraco? I'm looking for names since I don't have the game with me to look up who's what kind of potential.

I think Carlos Triunfel would be a fitting return for either of the guys. Don't know his potential off the top of my head as I don't have the game running but he's a young SS/2B and would provide nice depth

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys started a new Athletics 'chise rather than my blue jays one because I wanted more of a challenge.
What do you think of these trades?
A's get: Bailey, Reds get: Werner and Norberto
A's get: Saunders and Seager, M's get: Choice(B), Green(C) and Gray(C)
A's get: Salty, Sox get: Taylor(B), Maxwell(C) and Robertson(C)

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

For my Red Sox franchise, I did this trade with the Cardinals:

St. Louis Cardinals receive:
RF Shane Victorino (Had a low OPS)
SP Ryan Dempster (Was declining from 82 ovr to 75)
RP Craig Breslow

Boston Red Sox receive:
SP Jaime Garcia (He had a lower WHIP than Dempster)
CF Jon Jay (Needed a 4th OF, or he could potentially unseat Jonny Gomes in LF)

Is this a fair trade? And has anybody been able to get Giancarlo Stanton from the Marlins to the Red Sox yet?

I personally don't think it is. You're giving the Cardinals an older declining starting pitcher that is more expensive for a much younger lefty that has the lowest ERA in the history of Bush. The Cardinals value Jay in center, and Victorino is significantly older and more expensive also. Breslow's value does not make up for it either. I think you'd be better off sending the Cardinals prospects instead of expensive declining players if you want it to be fair. Realistically I don't see the Cardinals trading either Jay or Garcia.

Garcia had a 5.33 ERA, and Jay was only hitting .236 at the trade deadline with 3 HR and 36 RBI. Dempster was 9-5 with a 3.something and Victorino had 12 HR and 38 RBI. However, Victorino had a low OPS and Dempster a high WHIP. Victorino was getting on my nerves too, lol.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Looking to add a young catcher to my team, and can't make up my mind. I like D'Arnaud's arm and overall talent, but his durability is a concern (only at 58). Would Zunino be a better option ?

D'Arnaud's value is set at Mid-A + High-B...what about Zunino, is it around the same ?
