2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You're being a bit picky lol. Aceves + Brentz/Swihart?

Sorry, certain players I'm just attached to. I think I can do the Aceves + Swihart one.

This didn't work by the way, they declined it. I think because it said "One or both teams are not able to take on more salary expenses at this time."

As the Cardinals, what kind of package would I need to build to get Moose from the Royals?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Looking to trade Giancarlo Stanton to the Padres.

Marlins get:
Matt Andriese
Jaff Decker
Max Fried
Jesus Guzman
Jedd Gyorko
Dale Thayer
Austin Hedges

Padres get:
Giancarlo Stanton
Ricky Nolasco(?)

What do you think? Somewhat fair? Any realistic in regards to real life?
And if it isn't how can I improve it?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

It seems like the Twins finally have some budget room to allow me to trade for 3B Trevor Plouffe. They really want to trade for 2B Rickie Weeks probably to replace Brian Dozier who has a low rating in this game. They have Miguel Sano so they would miss him. What else should I get in return from the Twins? Its not a fair trade straight up. Plouffe is worth two high C's and Weeks is worth two low B's.

Also while I am asking, I need to pick up a long term option in RF. Scott Podsednik was only a one year thing and none of my outfielder prospects are ready to come up to the majors. I would be willing to trade a couple 60's/ B potential prospects to solve this problem. Any suggestions?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

July 1st in my Astros 'chise. Miraculously I am within shouting distance of the 2nd Wild Card spot in the AL at 43-39.

Problem is my starting pitching, specifically spots 4 and 5 have been an absolute black hole. Harrell and Patrick Corbin (acquired preseason) have been solid as 1/2, and Phil Humber has actually been quite good as my #3. Bedard was so bad as #4 I had to waive him. Young P's Jordan Lyles, Alex White, and Jarred Cosart have not fared well either as #5. Brad Peacock, who was pitching well, was already traded to the Dodgers.

So, I have my eye on the Rays pitching, and since I don't have the assets for Price, I am looking at Hellickson. His Rays are currently 37-45 and well out of contention in the AL East. The Yankees and surging and the O's are right on their heels. And I am actually about to start a 4-game set with TB. So, plan is, if I battle them to 2-2 or take the series, I think it's safe to call TB sellers.

Hellickson is doing about what you might expect, something like 6-5 with a 3.70 ERA. He's listed as high B + high B + low B on the spreadsheet.

I am willing to deal away these major leaguers: SP Jordan Lyles (currently AAA), 1B Carlos Pena (.210 13 HR 43 RBI), C Jason Castro (.145 1 HR 14 RBI), SS Ronny Cedeno (.265 3 HR 10 RBI), RP Kyle McClellan (1.25 ERA, 28/29 SVO), RP Rhiner Cruz (6.40 ERA)

I am willing to deal away these prospects: 3B Rio Ruiz, OF George Springer, SS Jake Elmore, C Max Stassi, C Carlos Perez

Can you guys see a good fit from this pool of players for Hellickson?

[Totte]

Once again, any input on this trade?

I think you're overpaying slightly for Chacin with Hembree and Ramirez. Add a low-to-mid C coming back to you as well. Pick the position the prospect plays yourself

[Totte]

Guess Aceves is what's holding the deal back since he's the guy making the most money. How about Brentz/Swihart plus another prospect (high C)?

How do you know who's a high C and a low C?

As the Cardinals, what kind of package would I need to build to get Moose from the Royals?

Kolten Wong would be the main piece of the deal. Add Carlos Martinez to that and you should be good to go.

Or are you looking to dump Freese on the Royals in the same deal?

Get an extra bullpen arm like Burton with Plouffe for Weeks?

It would have to be an inter division trade but what about Travis Snider for the RF spot? If the Pirates are out of it, I guess the Bucs would trade him if you send over a nice prospect. More speed and less pop but Jose Tabata?

Michael Taylor from the A's for Thornburg?

Not realistic at all. Padres are terrible and they aren't undoing all their hard work in building a farm system to bring a single power hitter to a pitcher's park. Not that fair either since most of the 'spects headed to Miami are very raw. Realism is impossible here, but for fairness any deal involving the Padres for Stanton needs to include a major leaguer or two. Something like Everth Cabrera/Yonder Alonso/Yasmani Grandal/Kyle Blanks.

People are forgetting Sano is 19. So, no they wouldn't shed Plouffe "because they have Sano." And the Twins are awful and aren't in any hurry to pick up a second baseman who makes more money and who will K 150 times. So, I'd table that thought. Besides when have the Twins NOT been happy to roll with scrub middle infielders? I can't remember the last stud MI they had.

As for the outfielder, this is probably doable, but are you the Brewers (I am guessing based on you having Weeks)? And who did you have in mind?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Okay. Final draft (hopefully)

Deck, Matt Olson (1B 19 yr old C pot 50 ovr) and Grant Green (25 yr old 69 ovr) for Jimmy Rollins? And if thats an overpay, throw in a low C pitcher from the Phils?

I don't have many B's haha

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'd love to get Michael Brantley from the Indians. He could probably take over the leadoff spot from Podsednik.

Hmmm. I'm not sure there's a great fit for that. But Axford, Gamel, Taylor Green, Wily Peralta are some guys you could consider. Among prospects, Hellweg, Gennett, Morris, and Thornburg could be a part of that. Really depends on what you're willing to give up--and hopefully that fits the Indians needs (1B 'spect, 2B 'spect, SP 'spect are best fits there).

Holy crap your bats are sucking lol, but I'm following your franchise so I already knew that. Give them Springer, Stassi, and Elmore.
