2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Using Seattle looking to add a OF bat.

Guy's I am interested in

C. Crawford or Either (LA)
C. Maybin (SD)
C. Young JR or Gonzo (Rockies)
M. Holliday (Cards)

Here is what I found so far.

San Diego would deal Maybin for T. Wilhemsen (my closer) and I figured I would throw in a OF prospect like Peguero or maybe a RP like DJ Mitchell

LA would deal Crawford for anyone on my team and for Either they wanted some type of 2B. So pretty much a package that included either Romero 74 (B) or even AA T. Lopes (B) or J. Marder 69 (B) who is listed as a 2B/C.
with E. Rameriz 80 SP (B).

Colorado also wanted a 2B or 1B and also like Romero or Marder for either Young, Fowler or Colvin.

For Gonzo. They wanted 1B Smoak, SP Ramirez and I could pretty much put anyone in the 3rd spot. (I was thinking Noesi or Bevin or maybe Marder or a AA SP like Pike.

For Holliday they wanted a SS and liked both Triunfel or Miller along with Rameriz and a lefty SP I pluged in Saunders and they would except but felt like maybe giving up Hultzen would be more fair. I really Miller so I would probably be more willing to give up Hultzen if it was Triunfel in the deal.

Would love some feed back. Also thinking of doing 2 deals. 1 for the power hitter (Gonzo or Holliday) and 1 for a speed guy like Fowler or Young.

I didn't really consider the Jays needs. Just looking to dump Aoki. Maybe they could DH him or have him split time with Rasmus. He had a pretty solid year for the Brewers last year.

Erm, no, they're both lefties, and we wouldn't give up our one legit 2B prospect for a platoon player. Hence I'm calling this unfair.

Vinnie Catricala (24 yr old low C-POT LF) to the Royals for Luker Hochevar?

And

Carson Smith (23 yr old B-POT CP) to the A's for Sean Doolittle? (Balfour is 35, so I figured they could use a CP prospect, and I already have Carter Capps)

Both are fair.

Both are fair.

...and realistic in your opinion?

I'm not sure Doolittle would be traded right to, tbh, but it's not worth losing hair over.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys im back.

So im in last place at the end of June and im starting to trade off some of my secodary players.

Both the Fowler and Young Jr have been solid- great all year long and i would like to flip one to the Royals since they are only 1.5 out of wild card and there team only lacks a reliable leadoff hitter/ center fielder

What could i potentially get from them for either of these guys?

I likely will unload both at some point because the Cubs and Meta are also in need. Obviously the Royals are my preferred destination but i just want a good deal.

I'm looking for young bullpen arms but really any prospect will do.

I think i am more interested in unloading Young first.

Any ideas?

Fowler for Aaron Crow and Tim Collins

Fowler for Aaron Crow and Tim Collins

Unless Crow was starting effectively I kinda think they could get another guy out of the Royals, like Cristian Colon or something.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Listening to the Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney back in mid March, they discussed McCann and his injury. Mentioned how McCann is heading into free agency and is a solid for a an American League team where he could catch a few games a week and DH the rest. The Yankees was mentioned as an option but let's leave it there...point is, for the O's, he'd be the main DH since he has a bum shoulder and Wieters is the superior defender. Guess he could catch like 1-2 days per week though to get Wieters a break. I don't think it's and ideal fit but it could most certainly work in the world of The Show

Venters doesn't carry much value with his so-so 2012 and arm trouble to begin 2013. McCann, Medlen, Beachy, JR Graham and maybe another lesser prospect for Machado. Keep in mind that McCann is a free agent after 2013 and that he'd be a rental for the O's so I wouldn't value him that highly since he might skip town to the land of dollars

Great advice. Thank you.

I didn't even consider the rental aspect for McCann. I was going to make sure they offered him a contract. I agree that it isn't a good fit.

Looked at NYY's farm, but nothing grabbed my eye. I'll keep shopping.

You going for fairness or realism? Both?

I'd drop Carter Capps (instead of Wilhelmsen) and Peguero to the Padres for Maybin. Getting a young stud arm like Capps for their pen would allow them to trade Street. I think it's crucial that they get an OF back as well in the deal so Peguero would work like you proposed.

With Holliday and CarGo...well it's here where the fairness/realism comes in. I'd opt for CarGo myself as he's younger. Smoak is a nice cornerstone for the deal. Take your pick with Hultzen/Walker as the second piece and then add Nick Franklin. Might wanna add another young arm for their pen as well like Stephen Pryor

You're welcome

Was Machado a target of yours because he plays SS? Because you just in general want a young middle infielder?

You might have given it a thought already but what about McCann to the Dodgers? Would slide in as the no 1 behind the plate and you could try get Dee Gordon back.

I know ya probably.. Crow's got so much potential if he ever could stretch himself out to 200 IP

It's just not a chance the Rockies should be taking at the cost of Dexter Fowler imo.

I chose Machado because he is young and can play 3B. I love his glove and his potential ceiling. Watched him coming up through the minors for the last few years (IRL), so it's really just a love affair above all else.

I hadn't thought about Gordon. That is a good idea, but would give me two starter worthy SS's that don't play a secondary position. I could always move one of them to 3B, though.
