Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You know full well THAT ain't happening



Baez + Vizcaino + Maples?

This would never happen, though.

Lets not get crazy.

All jokes aside, what can i get for Milk Carton?

Wasn't a joke.

Probably a high C.

If you're going for realism then that's what you're gonna have to give.

Fairness? Garza and Vizcaino, maybe?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If we take the realism out of the equation, and just focus on "fairness" in value...what would a package of Hultzen/Maurer + Capps + Smoak cost to the Rockies ? These three would really fill all my current needs in one trade.

Any suggestion ?

Ideally, including Story as a base, as I still think this is the most valuable trading asset I'm ready to part with.

Edit: Right now, I'm thinking SP Tyler Anderson (B) or SP Eddie Butler (B), along with SS Trevor Story (A) and something else...I just don't know what else would make a bit of sense.

Garza, Vizcaino and Maples?

I honestly don't know much about Maples, but I'm pretty sure he's a mid B, right? If so, that's fine, if not a slight win for the Jays on a fairness scale.

Yeah, hes a B. Are there any other 3B not as coveted as Lawrie?

Chase Headley or Jedd Gyorko?

Anthony Rendon intrigues me.

As the Rays who would be a good cheap fit for 1b because Loney is hitting .231 with 2 homers at the break and i can't take him anymore.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

OK input please guys (lol like Johnny 5 asking for input here...maybe some of you guys are old enough to get that movie reference ). So my Astros 'chise will be approaching the trade deadline shortly. I am currently near the amateur draft in June and have been (miraculously) hovering around .500 (seriously can't seem to get more than 2-3 games above/below .500). I credit this partially (Chris Carter and my bullpen have both been pleasant surprises, and Altuve is 'the guy') to some shrewd pre-season trades I made to shore up the team, specifically bringing in Mike Olt (BA and RBI leader), Kyle McClellan (18 for 18 in SVs, sub 2.00 ERA), Patrick Corbin (7-4 2.78 ERA), and Gerardo Parra (top 5 in AL in BBs, .315, 10-12 SBs). So, basically some judicious trades (before Eaton got hurt and Parra and Corbin actually broke out IRL) got me a middle-of-the-order slugger (Olt), a solid #2 (Corbin), a dynamic lead-off man/defensive CFer (Parra), and a rubber-armed closer (McClellan). If anyone's curious as to the price I paid for any of them, feel free to inquire, but that's not necessarily the point of this post.

The point is, although it looks almost certain I will be nowhere near 100 losses and it's somewhat of a feel good season/miracle, the Rangers have been drinking straight rocket fuel and I'm currently 7 GB or so. If I can't close that gap (the WC doesn't look *much* better currently), I will go into sell mode.

Now the vets I am interested in dealing (and praying for their stats ) include:

Carlos Pena (.225 avg, 9 HR, 30 RBI, massive hot streak currently)
Brendan Ryan (.180 avg, 1 HR, 13 RBI, solid D, starting to hit above weight)
Jason Castro (.150 avg, 1 HR, 10 RBI, solid D, great in the running game)
Erik Bedard (2-5, 6+ ERA, ....)
Phil Humber (5-2, 4.10 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, been on fire recently)
Kyle McClellan (1.95 ERA, 18/18 SVs, best closer in MLB stat-wise)

OK, so with that in mind and seeing that there's still ~ 1 month to go to see about records/stats/injuries/team needs etc...I thought up the following deals, so please opine on the fairness/realism:

TRADE 1:
Astros get - Dee Gordon
Dodgers get - Brad Peacock + Brendan Ryan

TRADE 2:
Astros get - Wilson Ramos
Nats get - Jason Castro + Takashi Saito (if Kurt Suzuki keeps starting and their bullpen stays bad)

TRADE 3:
Astros get - Yordano Ventura + Greg Holland + Jarrod Dyson
Royals get - Jordan Lyles + Erik Bedard + Kyle McClellan

TRADE 4:
Astros get - D.J. Davis
Jays get - Phil Humber + Carlos Pena (Pena to play 1st, E5 to DH, Lind to ?)

I adhered pretty strictly to the spreadsheet for the MLBer for MLBer deals. Though I didn't really know what D.J. Davis is worth/his pot etc...

Anyway with loose regard to fit, and not knowing records, anyone have any preliminary feelings on these? Maybe ranking them from best--> worst or going item by item, whatever works...Of course any suggestions on how I can improve these are most welcome! I would like to think these through before doing the deed in about 1 video game month from now.

Thanks gents!

Looking for a legit middle of the rotation starter, under the age of 30. Any ideas?

I'm actually curious how you got Olt but in terms of ranking the trades on how much you benefit, i would go:

1. Trade 3 - I like Yordano and Holland
2. Trade 2 - Ramos is cheap/solid C
3. Trade 1 - Carlos Correa could start next yr.
4. Trade 4 - Have no idea who D.J. Davis is.

Alex Cobb? Derek Holland? Tommy Hanson? Brandon McCarthy?
