Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Gah I have work to do... thanks for helping me procrastinate lol.

Lol, the help is appreciated.

Texas?

Peavy to Texas would work. Would two B's be fine? Buckel + Grimm?

That's probably fine. P.S. Fabio is just such an epic name.

Every time I see the name Fabio, (which, I guess isn't that often) I think of the I can't believe it's not butter commercials.

I'm really high on Seager and Lee and I think I need to upgrade Garza's spreadsheet value.

Both guys definitely deserve to be top 100 prospects, and I wouldn't complain if Lee was a low A in the game. I'm pretty high on him too.

Maybe Garza's new value should be a high B + a mid B? His contract does expire after this year. I'm a little higher on Garza than most, but that's explainable because I like the Cubs. I don't disagree with where you're coming from though. IMO, Garza's a damn good rental player, and would help the Dodgers a whole lot in the #3 spot in their rotation.

Meh... biiiiiit of a stretch.

Somebody's got to overpay at the deadline, right? Lol

Yeah, that'd be fine.

I think of those Old Spice commercials.

Yeah, and Seager's a beast too.

Well, that's the thing, Garza's not great. He had one great 2011 and the rest of his career has hovered around a 4.10 FIP.

Giants are 23-20 currently...so buyers...I would be willing to swap some producing players now that Reyes is back for Blanco...Rasmus, Davis, Boni, Santos, Coco could maybe all move in deals ..Im finding it hard matching a deal for Blanco

Alright, last, but not least, and this one should make you happy. The Blue Jays are leading the AL East, but only by a half of a game. Any trades they could make to put them over the top? Because I really don't want the Yankees to win, like ever. Lol

How is he doing in your franchise? That could help out as far as getting a little more value out of him or having someone overpay for him.

OOOOH this is a good one lol. Who's performing with them? Who's playing badly?

If Anthony Gose is playing well in AAA and 2B is a black hole, Colby Rasmus for Chase Utley could work.

If we have a hole in our rotation, Sergio Santos for Rick Porcello could work.

If we have bullpen issues, a trade for Huston Street could work.

Kyle Blanks, Jesus Guzman, Casper Wells, Darin Ruf and Alfonso Soriano are all great platoon options for Adam Lind. Emilio Bonifacio for Darin Ruf is one trade I like.

If we need one reliever, if you're up for trading James Russell, you could get something nice back.

That's all I've got for now but some more information on the Jays would really help. Injuries? Strengths? Weaknesses?

Not on my PS3 right now, but I know the area most of his numbers are in. 7-7 record sounds about right, whatever it is, it's .500. ERA slightly over 3.00. Just a couple strikeouts shy of 100. Can't remember his WHIP exactly, but it's for sure under 1.50. Around 95 innings pitched, and 10 or 11 quality starts.

He's not pitching bad, and he's got at least one more start before the break.

I'll post his actual stats tomorrow. I know those are close though.

Could you actually post his DIPS, not his ERA? It's more important with Garza. And his K/9 and BB/9 would help, too. Thanks.

Yeah, I'll get as much as I can posted tomorrow morning. Garza stats, along with the Blue Jays information for you. Got a long day ahead of me tomorrow, and it's getting late.

Thanks for all the help, I'm terrible at trying to piece together trades for other teams, because aside from the top prospects, I'm not familiar with any system besides Chicago's.

Alright, good luck with your long day. I won't be on until somewhat late so I'll try and catch up. Don't make any Jays moves without me!

No problem, man, and I've got some extra motivation to help you 'cause your dynasty is so damn good lol.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What are the Giants' strengths and weaknesses?

Giants have a rough bullpen in the game with a very high ERA. Their starters are fine, Sandoval, Posey and Blanco are their best hitters. Pagan in CF has ben mehhh. They are using Brett Pill at 2B which is rough cause hes hitting .162 lol. Sandoval at 1B and Arias at 3B. Carlos Lee has been their DH and has been decent. Pence has sucked. Maybe something like Santos + Boni/Izturis for Blanco + lesser reliever? I could also use Rasmus, Davis, or Crisp in the deal.

[G3no_11]

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Do you have DH turned on for both leagues?

I think that could work, but I don't think the Giants should throw in a lesser reliever.

Santos + Boni for Blanco?

Generally that would be an overpay for Blanco, but if he is one of their top hitters this season, I don't really see them trading him away.. especially when they are probably set up for a playoff race.

In my opinion, they definitely should trade to get some help offensively and bullpen wise, but I would think they would want to keep Blanco in this case.

I guess throwing in a lesser reliever might work, but it would have to be their worst reliever. Or if you threw in Davis, you could get a decent reliever in return and possibly a prospect.

What is the rest of Blanco's stats? average, OBP, ect.

With Pence and Pagan struggling I think that makes Blanco even more valuable to them.

CPU just did Mike Olt for Lincecum and Ramon Ramirez

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ok bad news, Liddi went on the DL while he was cold, and got moved down to a High C. I may need to pursue a different 3rd base option for next year. Any suggestions?
