2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm pretty sure his contract is minimal in the game.

Well in 2K they actually did something right. They obviously don't have the real contracts because they aren't allowed to, but the contracts are all scaled to about 1/2 of the real value. Most even have the right number of years, even for pre-arb guys which is nice. So, in 2K Soriano is still expensive. You'd know better than me about the Show.

Any opinions on my Soriano trade 2 pages back? Whoever gave me some help (I think it was AC or WaitTillNextYear) I did ask one question afterwards and didn't get feedback. Sorry it was Totte.

Soriano would have to be paired with a really good young player for you to be able to net De La Rosa in return. That wouldn't be realistic though since Rubby came over to the Red Sox just last year and Soriano isn't really at fit in Boston with Papi at DH (and Gomes/Nava in LF)

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So you think if I did Soriano/Harriston/?(DeJusus maybe) I can't get a B/C or a B alone? Is it literally impossible to do something like that and have it be realistic if it is fair?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but I'd suggest you cycle through the contending teams and see who could use an outfielder.

Then look at their pitching prospects in the mid-C to mid-B range.

Then make a proposal and you can get advice on such a specific proposal.

Being systematic like that takes all the guesswork out and makes it more likely to nail a good trade offer on your first try.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hairston's a mid-C if you deal him to the right team.

Soriano should NOT be a high B + C if he is. That is wayyyyyy too much to get back. Remember, his contract is so unattractive that the Cubs have been offering to pay all but $2MM of it, and eating salary is not an option in the game, though I suppose you could edit his contract down after trading him and you could tack on extra money to a random guy on your team to simulate that.

How do you edit contracts?

Even if the Sox are still in it, what are the chances that Ellsbury gets traded?

If that's a yes, is Dominic Brown + Jonathan Pettibone enough?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So after thinking about it for a bit, I think I'd be willing to part with Halladay. Ignoring his real life issues, he's having a really good year in the game with a 3-3 record and a 2.64 ERA. I'm not ready to give up Lee yet, but Halladay is someone I'd part with. However, Trevor Plouffe is someone who is an interest to me. What kind of young 3rd baseman could I get for Halladay, and who would I have to give up for Plouffe (if it's realistic). I'm trying to figure out if giving up Halladay now and getting a nice prospect back is better for my team, or if giving up a few prospects for Plouffe would be a better direction to go.

How well are these 3 guys playing?

Not nearly enough for Ellsbury.

Not nearly enough for Ellsbury.

And on top of this if the Sox are in it I highly doubt they move their starting CFer.

Ellsbury - .261/.311/.438 15 HR, 20 SB

Brown - .250/.309/.369 5 HR
Pettibone (AAA) 102 IP, 55 K, 45 BB, 4.71 ERA, 4.229 DIPS

Not nearly enough for Ellsbury.

Should I just scrap the Ellsbury to the Phillies idea then AC? I really don't want them to ship away Biddle for a half a year of Ellsbury, while Lee and Halladay are regressing and getting older. The Phillies are 4 games out of the wildcard spot, and he seemed like a good option. I guess the Phils just don't have the farm to pull this one off.

And on top of this if the Sox are in it I highly doubt they move their starting CFer.

Ellsbury's a Boras client, and due for free agency at the end of the year. He's gong to demand a lot of money. Not sure if the Sox are willing to do that with Bradley Jr. not too far off. I could understand why they'd move him, especially if they have the intentions of letting him walk.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I see no reason Ellsbury wouldn't be dealt regardless of standing, but it'll be more than Brown.

Oh I'm sure he won't be in a Red Sox uni next season, but it's still hard to imagine they move him in the middle pennant race. There might have been cases of this before but off the top of my head I can't remember any team trading their starting CF in the middle of a playoff run, even if they don't plan on resigning him.

Yeah, I don't think the Phillies have enough to make a move for Ellsbury

To Texas for Leonys Martin + Luke Jackson 74 OVR B POT ? Or Perez instead of Jackson?

I see nothing wrong with that although I'd probably add in Gallo just to give it that extra push.
