I feel that if someone isn't going to put time into their 'chise and will just restart it soon anyway, why should I care enough to help them find a deal in a doomed 'chise?

    Just a thought...back on topic now!

    To the potential Twins deal (Hicks for Crisp), let me just say that Coco Crisp might have a bit more value than people realize. I'd say with all the prospect depth in the OF that the Twins have, Hicks would likely not be untouchable. Maybe, adding a bit more to Coco Crisp could make it a bit more fair, like Josh Donaldson, Grant Green, or Sean Doolittle etc..
    So yea this is directed at me I assume, I understand usually though it takes me a while to finally find a franchise I'm having fun with but once I ge one going I usually play through, last year I played through 4 seasons with the giants after starting like 3 or 4 before it.

          Actually, my comment wasn't directed at any one poster, and I'm sorry if it struck a nerve. It's just a general thing I have seen with a handful of people who keep asking for trade help and then the next time it's for a totally different team.

          Good luck in finding a team to stick with, I know it can be tempting to try other teams!

              OK well that makes a bit more sense, but assuming the Sox need imminent help at DH, wouldn't that probably mean they'd be averse to trading their #2 starter because they're in the playoff hunt?

              If the Sox are in contention they likely wouldn't deal Peavy or Kepp.

              If they're out of contention, they'd probably not have a need for Morales.

              That's imo.

                    I just think Crisp carries sneaky value, a lot of it comes from speed and defense which is traditionally hard to measure (hence why the A's are a good fit).

                    Also, I was more thinking about Twins 'spects like Buxton, Kepler, Arcia, and maybe Sano in LF eventually. It just seems they have more high impact OF prospects than most, and in the off chance that they were contending, I think Terry Ryan might deal from depth.

                      Haha. TAKE A PICTURE of this deal! It might be the most fair and logical deal ever offered from video game AI! Rickie Weeks would fill a need for the Dodgers, and the Crew could use another long-term starter in Billingsley though he's toast in the short term. Tolleson is just gravy.

                        Yeah, but he's not Hicks-valuable.

                        Sano in RF, Hicks in LF, Buxton in CF is the likely outcome, and since prospects - shocker lol - bust every so often, why trade anyone now?

                          Where's Oswaldo? DHing? Sure they bust often, but you'd like to get MLB talent back before it happens if possible. If the Twins are contending, they might listen on Hicks is all I'm saying. I'm not saying Crisp by himself is worth Hicks. I was more to the point that people were 100% discounting Hicks getting dealt in any way shape or form.

                              It's actually a really good deal. I was surprised.

                              Is Oswaldo really sticking in the OF? Regardless, that's a problem you deal with in the future, not by trading for an aging speedster now. Hicks would be dealt but I will 100% discount him being traded for Crisp.

                                They were playin Arcia in CF but I think hes a better fit at DH or in LF with Coco in CF ..Hicks hasnt played much and was batting below .200 so I figured Id help em out now to make a playoff run
