Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Eh, it was at least partially biased, but the main reason I liked it was that you posted facts and backed up your thoughts.

Appreciate it man, I was hoping to get back into someones good graces since I tend to flip dynasties a lot and that bothers people.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hamilton + Ceingrani for Headley sounds good. I was wondering about Wright, but true it would be unrealistic with his new extension now that i am thinking haha.

EDIT: One more before i play another game. Kyle Crick for Alex Gordon... .270/12HR/59 want more stats just ask

You know, I thought this would be a solid trade and I thought Gordon was about a 4 WAR player, but no, he's ridiculously underrated. 14.3 fWAR over his last 1605 ABs. Plus, the Royals are trying to compete. And the Giants don't have the farm to acquire that big a piece.

Ah there's nothing wrong with flipping dynasties. When people can't stop trading (5+, 10+ a year) and clog up the thread with every other post, it gets to be annoying, but multiple dynasties are fine.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

OK, so I was talking about it being best for a player to break in at 19-22. This is an argument more about age than anything. No one expects Olt to be a player of this caliber. But, someone, I think it was G3no actually took direct aim at my "age of debut" argument, saying it doesn't matter when players matriculate. And I am defending it as factual--at least in an empirical sense.

No, at the time it was more of an argument about Papelbon for Olt and the values they both had and I felt that making an argument against Olt because he was 24 was splitting hairs.

Edit: I wasn't making an argument that Olt will be a HOF even though he's 24 and in AAA. I was basically just saying Olt's "ceiling" is still very valuable even though he hasn't produced in the bigs at age 24.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So right now none of my right handed batters can actually hit for any power. David Wright is doing OK.. but i need another right handed power bat.So any suggestions on a Right Handed Power Bat, and middle infielder that is all defense that i can use at the end of the game?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Now that the debate (which was an interesting read) has calmed down I'll try this again.

I'm looking to add a right-handed power bat to come off the bench for my Cardinals. One thing I failed to mention in my previous post is that Boggs has been sucking badly for me. So much that I sent him to AAA. I'd be willing to deal him. He's got an ERA of 5.51 in the majors. Any suggestions? Oh, it'd also be nice if the player I trade for could play OF since Beltran went down with injury. I've called up Taveras but he's a lefty and also a starter. Wigginton doesn't cut it as a bench option who can hit for power.

Also might be looking to upgrade at shortstop. Kozma's been productive enough, but I'd like to have a plan just in case he slumps and I'm in the playoff hunt.

Aramis Ramirez and Brendan Ryan?

Sergio Santos and J.J. Hardy, Zack Cozart, or Jimmy Rollins?

Trade Deadline day is here.

Not enough for Utley, too much for Strop, not enough for Venters.

By looking at his real life stats i think he is a realistic option for sure.

Not enough for Utley, too much for Strop, not enough for Venters.

Utley is hitting .240/7HR/37 RBI if that makes a difference.

Ideas on adding/subtracting other two?

I'm just not sure the realism of the trade 3 weeks in.

What's his triple slash?

Strop's value is minimal and give a decent prospect for Venters.

I'd be interested in dealing for Hardy. What do you think it would take to get him? Boggs+C? Any suggestions for that power hitting outfielder who could come off the bench?

.247 AVG/ .329 OBP/ .352 SLG

Strop 2.70 ERA/ 63.1 IP/ .209 AVG/ 2 HR/ 7.82 K/9

I'll find someone for Venters.
