Not getting enough back

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Rockies:

SP-Chacin 85 ovr 5-4 3.46
3B Josh Vitters in AAA--A Ovr
1B Vic Buren (drafted) A ovr

Giants

SP- Tim Lincecum 2-8 5.48 ERA

I can also add Mike Olt, but i figured that was getting too much back. But how does that look? Should i consider adding Olt?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

This isnt a question about a specific trade per se, but a general question about the franchise settings.

First, should I be using force trades to get trades involving more than 3 players per team? Im assuming thats how you get them done, just splitting them up into two trades? And should ignore budgets be used also? Id like to keep things as realistic as possible but seem to run into trouble with having both ignore budgets and force trades set to off.

Thanks

If you're playing with 30-team control, you don't need forced trades to be "on" as you can accept any deal you want.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I do not have a specific trade question. I was just curious does everyone trade whenever they want? or do you wait till later in the Season June/July. I have several ideas for trades, but no need to post about it till i enter June/July. I just like waiting till later in the season for trades, I guess to be more realistic.

I want to see what others think of Alexbraun offers, Linceum is someone I want when I get closer to trade deadline. I do not think think the giants have much use for Vitters

Who else should I add in? Maybe a RP?

No need to add Olt. I view it as an overpay already with Lincecum being far from his double CY Young days. Swap Vitters for a low B or something similar instead

You really want David Murphy or is he just a filler for you in the deal?

I'd swap Murphy for one of the Rangers pitching prospects instead, someone like Neil Ramirez

I generally make some minor deals during the spring to add some minor league depth. I'm not necessarily trading for prospects in that scenario...more of looking at the depth charts and determine what I need. A slugging 1B...speedy OF'er with good fielding skills etc

Might make a move or two in April and May depending on if injury strikes. Nothing major...sort of just to tip toe around the 40 man roster and its limitations.

Then in June when the bottow dwellers and contenders start to show, I usually make up a few players to target and go from there

The trade should include 2 A's and a B IMO

I'm looking for a hitter to put me over the top. It was an idea. I'm a Rangers fan, and Murph is my favorite player on the team, and I couldn't think of anybody to target. I'm looking for more of a power hitter though. I need someone batting behind Butler. I had Alex Gordon there, but he was swapped for Brett Gardner and Michael Pineda.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm willing to trade Hosmer, Moustakas, Francoeur, and pretty much anybody in my farm system.

Yea good idea on making minor trade deals. I need other RP in my bullpen, and I cannot pitch with Jerry Blevins, I simply gave up on him and sent him to the minors. What about this simple trade. The A's can give up Norris because I have David Frietas in the minors with an A pot. I will erase Glasemann from the trade if needed. I just know I cant stand Blevins and my bullpen is hurting. The rays also need a catcher(in my franchise Molina is hurt so all they have is Gimenez)

A's

C Derek Norris Ovr 71 Pot B Age 24
RP Jerry Blevins Over 78 Pot C Age 29

Rays

RP Joel Peralta Ovr 83 Age 36
RF Todd Glasemann Ovr 62 Pot B Age 22
2B Ryan Brett Ovr 56 Pot B Age 21

I was trying to play to the "bounce back" factor that some pitchers have, cause who knows if he will bounce back in the game and dominate again thanks to the "change of scenery" excuse. However, thanks for the feedback...kinda a bummer because the Giants wont take anything less for him. Back to the drawing board!

I like Hoz but that's too much
