2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So Seager + Miller + Paxton + Truinfel for Lawrie + Gose + Anderson?
I like the idea of grabbing some outfield prospects to see who I'd like to keep around for my long term plans. With Guerrero so young my outfield is completely wide open.

Anderson is like 19 lol. He's really, really raw. Gose is a nice fit though. Better than Thames haha.

That trade looks fine. Just know it's really unrealistic lol. But quite fair.

Yeah I've stayed pretty realistic so far and knew I couldn't be perfect. I just thought with the pieces I had to offer it wasn't necessarily out of the picture to get Lawrie especially since the Jays pitching was struggling in game so Paxton would be nice for them especially with his sharp boost in potential. I realize Gose should have a larger upside but for me there is a point where you need to realize the game's value for certain players is vastly different than real life, and with those players I just want to keep it fair if I can't keep it realistic.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Chatwood and Belisle for those two would be a big loss for you. You could probably get a nice prospect (wait, the White Sox have no such thing ) or a guy like Dayan Vicedo if Chatwood was in there.

I was thinking I may have slanted that a little heavily in Chicago's favor. What about throwing in Danks? Rox are in desperate need of some starting pitchers. If I add Danks, I could move Juan Nicasio to the bullpen, where his three pitch mix is a better fit anyway.

If Paxton's value is boosted this is fine. Gose is just screwed up in the game lol.

Lawrie was nearly dealt for Pineda so this isn't THAAAAAT bad.

Danks, Quintana, Floyd, take your pick lol.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey so I'm in late June in my Nationals franchise, and just like in real life Dan Haren isn't cutting it as my 4th starter. We are in 1st place, but Atlanta is hanging with us, so I was looking to acquire a middle of the road stater to replace Haren. I was thinking about going after Hellickson of Tampa, and I was going to send over Goodwin, Cole, and Skole. Is this enough or would I have to include more? Also are there any other startes to consider going after?

Kenny Williams would be all over that. Getting decent prospects (high A's compared to the CWS farm system) and shedding off Danks' salary would make him do it Gangnam style. I think that would be fine, especially since Danks has pitched BADLY IRL of late. You may want to toss yourself some sort of additional C prospect too--Chatwood is highly regarded.

This is fine as is. I'm assuming Goodwin and Cole are high B's and Skole is a mid B?

If so, that's pretty much on point.

So Goodwin + Haren + Cole + Skole for Hellickson? Hmmm...value-wise it's not bad, but the Rays would never trade for a guy like Haren financially or otherwise--their MO is to develop pitchers. Hellickson might be available for prospects only though depending on the current state of your league.

Other pitchers you might be interested in:

Clayton Richard (SD)
Chris Capuano (LAD)
Matt Garza (CHI) [would not accept Haren]
A starter from the Blue Jays depending on how they're doing.
Bud Norris (HOU) [would not accept Haren]
Dallas Braden (OAK) [would not accept Haren]
Jhoulys Chacin (COL)
Mike Minor (ATL) though the Braves and Nats dealing is unrealistic
Kyle Kendrick (PHI)
Ricky Nolasco (FLA) ['spects only, can't include Haren]

Lol. Thanks. I need to pick up some salary somewhere if I want anyone to take Belisle's contract. I enjoyed using Belisle the last couple of years in The Show, but not so much this time around. I'm ready for a younger, stronger arm at the back end of the 'pen.

Yeah Paxton shot up from a high B to a mid A, he is now above Walker and below Zunino in regards to potential I believe. He was just the oldest and as a Mariner's fan I'm attached to a lot of prospects, he was just the one I'm least attached to. I would never trade Walker or Hultzen.

Oh no, I'm not looking to include Haren in the deal, because I know nobody would want a struggling veteran making $12M per year. I was probably going to either put him in the bullpen for the time being.

You want any suggestions on that? Look at Mikail Claito (is that his name) on St. Louis. That guy throws GAS!

Oh damn. I think you could probably get another small piece, in that case, a decent pitching prospect?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Yeah, I'd definitely love another pitching prospect. I don't know anyone on the Jays really and I can't get to my game right now. Do you know anyone that might work? If not I'll check their roster later and find one. What prospect level are we looking at here?

What are their potentials? Are you interested in fairness, Realism, or both? Hellickson is realistic as the Tays were shopping him this hot stove season.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Looking to move Scott Baker in my Cubs franchise but I am at a loss for what direction to move him. I mean I know his value on spreadsheet but I cant find a home for him that I feel would be a realistic move. I would love some speed from a middle of the diamond position in return, but hoping I can get some insight into a team that could use him.
