Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I don't recall exactly, but I think it involved Bud Norris, Justin Maxwell, and possibly Fernando Martinez...not 100% sure but similar to this.
Thanks for the input fellas! OK, so it appears that the trade with KC may have some legs, but needs tweaking. It seems AC's issue was that I was getting a bit greedy with quantity, but C_Shearman likes it...what about if I dropped one of the players coming from KC? So...
Astros get (pick 2): Yordano Ventura + Greg Holland + Jarrod Dyson
Royals get: Jordan Lyles + Erik Bedard + Kyle McClellan
Any ideas on which 2 from KC would be the most workable? I like the idea of Lyles, and it might seem strange to deal him, but I can't pitch with him worth a lick, lol. I guess he's my "milk carton."
As for the LAD deal:
Astros get: Dee Gordon
Dodgers get: Brad Peacock + Brendan Ryan
AC liked it, but C_Shearman's issue was that Correa would be ready next year. With all do respect, I'm pretty sure Correa will need more than 1.25 years (from prep to pro) in MiLB to be ready. Though I think your point is valid in that Dee and Correa are both young and there could be a positional blockage issue. But, Dee could always shift to 2B, CF, LF. I would plan on developing him into a jack-of-all-trades type. If he can play SS, he can handle every position but catcher (in theory). However, I wouldn't bring Correa up until 2015 at the earliest (if this makes a diff to you C_Shearman).
As for the Nats deal...
Astros get: Wilson Ramos
Nats get: Jason Castro + Takashi Saito
I actually agree this may be a stretch. Though I want Ramos, and Castro is young/valuable/defensive oriented, and Suzuki is actually starting and doing well for WAS, I'd probably need to add in one more piece of significant value (a prospect, not Saito) to make this work. Another C I have my eye on would be Michael McKenry of the Pirates, who'd come cheaper...not exactly the defensive catcher of Ramos/Castro quality but more pop...any ideas if that would fly here instead of Ramos?
The Blue Jays trade has been ruled out lol. I get the message..Not fixable I don't think. Just need to find some taker for Carlos Pena...any ideas on potential fits/returns if Pena is hitting ~.240 with 10-15 HRs at the deadline? I realize I won't be getting much at all.
I realize this is a long/involved post, but any feedback on any or all of these hypotheticals is most appreciated guys
