2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm in the first year with the Royals and I'd like to trade for Jair Jurrjens from Baltimore. They don't have much use for him as they have plenty of depth at SP, Jair is their number 3 Starter in AAA..

What would I need to offer for a fair and realistic trade?

Colon is an option. Frenchy could go play LF for them. Hochevar. So maybe Colon + Hoch, Frenchy + Hoch. I like the 2nd one best. Gets rid of two IRL bums.

I don't think the O's take on Frenchy's contract PLUS Hoch, who has negative value as well. I'd just send over a mid-C prospect to Baltimore.

Just a low end prospect.

that seems a bit much. Plus how am i supposed to trade 5 for 1? Max is 3 per team.

It's a little low for Cutch, definitely not too much.

The answer to your question is in the thread. Search feature.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If you want to trade Chris Nelson, I could see the Marlins, Phillies, Braves, Cubs and Astros be interested. Might fetch you a so-so reliever in return if you want some bullpen help

Which of these options makes most sense?

PHI for RP Jeremy Horst or RP Justin De Fratus

MIA for RP Mike Dunn

ATL for RP Anthony Varvaro (worth a High D according to spreadsheet) or OF Jose Constanza

CHC for RP Casey Coleman or INF Luis Valbuena

BAL for RP Daniel Schlereth

NYY (actually traded here IRL) for OF Thomas Neal or OF Chris Dickerson

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm thinking of playing as either the rangers or the braves. If I play as the rangers I'm looking at trying to acquire Chris Sale and Paul Konerko. I'm not looking for realistic but just fair. I haven't really looked into the braves though. I know profar and if I have to add ogando or harrision I will to. Just to make it fair. I know the soxs wouldn't move those two but I'm just looking at fair and not realistic

Thanks for your response man!

Hochevar (78 OVR) for Jurrjens (76 OVR) would be 1 back end of the rotation/long reliever for the other so that isn't an option.
Frenchy is too good in the game (83 OVR) and Colon is a B rated prospect.

Maybe Colon alone, would that be fair? Or is that too much/too little for 2 years of Jurrjens?

I wouldn't trade Colon if I were you. He's pretty much their only middle guy option close to the big league level.

Also, there were rumors swirling this offseason that the Orioles offered Jake Arreita for Luke Hochevar straight up so that should give you a decent idea of what you could fetch for Hochevar.

No, it shouldn't, that's an absolutely completely stupid trade by the Orioles, and Duqette should be hit over the head with a sledgehammer for thinking about it.

Link?

Really? Jake Arrieta seems to be the same thing as Luke Hochevar. Great stuff, no control. It was actually a link provided by MLBTR but I couldn't find it after a quick search.

Arrieta is younger and had a very encouraging 2012.

... 3-9, 6.20 ERA, .320 BABIP in 114.2 IP doesn't sound very encouraging to me.

If you can hold out for the offseason you can grab Jair in the rule V draft. I have simmed to the 2013 offseason in several franchises and he is always available then.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm at the end of June in my first year with the Yankees (47-31, 1st in AL East). Ichiro got hurt (248 AB .266 AVG 3 HR 15 RBI) and his replacement Brennan Boesch has played very well during the month Ichiro has been out (101 AB .267 AVG 3 HR 10 RBI, average was in the mid .100's before Ichiro got hurt). Ichiro has just been cleared from the DL and I am looking to move him for pretty much anyone. His overall is now 81 and is 39 years old. Any ideas on what I should do? Should I trade him for a D potential player or just place him on the bench?

How do Hochevars stats look compared to those?


EDIT: Thanks a lot guys for all the responses btw!

Ugh, WAR is an accumulative statistic (only 114.2 IP) and LOB% is a luck based statistic to a large extent (and certainly not a skill-based statistic to the same extent) so I don't know why you're quoting it.

Prorated to a 200 IP season, Arrieta would've posted 2.8 wins above replacement, good for t-37th (Tommy Milone) in the entire league, and muuuuuuch better than anything Hochevar would've posted in 15 more innings.

How do Hochevars stats look compared to those?

Hochevar, in 185.1 IP, 5.73/4.63/4.32 ERA/FIP/xFIP, with 2:36 K/BB ratio.

Hoch is plain terrible and Arrieta was great last year, this really isn't a debate lol.
