I think he was saying Schierholtz/Hairston + Marmol for McPherson

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hello, I am seeking some advice on the realism of a situation.

I am having a truly difficult time selecting a team to run in franchise. I love the blue jays but very much dislike the team on paper in this game.

To that end, I decided to go back in time a little and edited the OSFM roster to undue all of the trades they made this off season.

That is my starting position.

I have created 1 prospect at third base (essentially creating the draft from 2012).

I would like to move Jose Bautista and or encarnacion.

Given that arencebia and D'Arnuad are essentially the same guy on paper, one of them needs to go as well. I am undecided as to which, but I believe J.P. has slightly more value since he is established. (Thoughts on that?)

I am looking to regroup the pitching staff, just like they really did, but rather than with veterans, go with young arms that will pay off in two or three years and a solid number 2 now that can eat up innings (like buerle) but also win a few (unlike buerle).

I want this team to break even or close to it now but win three years from now, when my prospect hits stride.

I am moving Lawrie to second now.

Is it realistic to believe a team could trade away its face (Bautista) now when he has some value to rebuild since it has been mostly a loosing team (no playoffs) for twenty years?

Any thoughts on trades along with realism are appreciated, even if it is to say I am way off.

Sorry for writing a novel for my first post.

Maybe change one of them to Marmol? He would be a good addition since Grilli is declining and they don't have a great bullpen.

But giving them Marmol would make their situation worse.

4th OF and a reliever who struggles to keep guys off base still aren't worth McPherson

Don't see why the Pirates would trade a decent starter for a reliever with literally negative value and a 4th OF

Hey, any Blue Jays related novels are welcome!

I have created 1 prospect at third base (essentially creating the draft from 2012).

If I were you, I'd be moving Encarnacion to a team with some good pitching who needs a 1B. To me, that team is the Oakland Athletics. You could trade him for a package similar to Thomas Milone, Daniel Straily, and Brett Anderson.

Given that arencebia and D'Arnuad are essentially the same guy on paper, one of them needs to go as well. I am undecided as to which, but I believe J.P. has slightly more value since he is established. (Thoughts on that?)

Well, you're wrong in the assumption that J.P. has more value, as he's not the best player *cough*, but you could probably get a nice piece from a team that needs a catcher. You could send him off to the Phillies for maybe Dominic Brown? Or maybe Roman Quinn?

I am looking to regroup the pitching staff, just like they really did, but rather than with veterans, go with young arms that will pay off in two or three years and a solid number 2 now that can eat up innings (like buerle) but also win a few (unlike buerle).

See some of the trades I suggested. Milone fits that description, and you'll like the other trades.

I want this team to break even or close to it now but win three years from now, when my prospect hits stride.

The trades I suggested fit that description.

I am moving Lawrie to second now.

Smart move.

Not really, honestly.

I wasn't saying that those 2 guys were worth McPherson, I just wasn't sure if everyone knew what he was implying...

I knew he was referring to both but I just used your comment as the final answer to his request

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm looking to unload Kyle Lohse

Would the Rockies like him? They're 3.5 games out of the west and 5.5 out of the 2nd WC....but they've been very hot recently they were close to 10 games out about 25 days ago

Lohse for Pacheco and Tim Sexton?

[WaitTilNextYear]

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Fair or realistic? Brewers JUST signed Lohse so it's not realistic...

A lot of people think they're going to try and trade him if they are out of it at the ASB

Dont see Bautista getting moved...dudes a beast...EE you could probably sell high for a nice package like AC mentioned...I would move d'Arnaud since he has more value and stick a power bat like JP 6-7 in your lineup

I'm not sure who a lot of people are, maybe you're tuned in more to the Brewers, but teams don't usually take the risk of signing someone to a multi-year contract (3 years $30M, right?) that they don't really want. It's also really risky to make a commitment like that to a pitcher merely to flip him when he could very well get hurt first.

And that's not even factoring in the draft compensation they have to give up for just signing him.

Are there any examples of a team signing a pitcher to a 3+ year deal and trading him the same year? There are probably a couple of examples but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I don't think the Brewers expected to be as bad as they are this year. It's clear there are lots of problems with the team.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright gentlemen...

In addition to my Rockies 'chise, I'm thinking of starting up a "rebuilding" franchise as well. I'm really intrigued by the Astros, but I want to approach it from the story line of a young, brash GM coming in and blowing up what he deems to be a "glorified minor league team."

Here are a few deals I have formulated out of the gate. Let me know what you think:

Houston gets: CF Gerardo Parra
Arizona gets: 3B Rio Ruiz (56/B), RF Domingo Santana (64/B), C Max Stassi (62/C)

Houston gets: OF/1B Tyler Colvin, RP Edgmer Escalona, IF DJ LeMahieu, LHP Christian Friedrich
Colorado gets: 1B J. Singleton (62/B), SP N. Tropeano (64/B), RP W. Wright (78/C)

Houston gets: SS/2B Dee Gordon
Los Angeles gets: SP Brad Peacock (75/B), SS Jonathan Villar (63/B)

Also, I want to pick up a power hitting catcher to build around (can't stand Castro, never hit well with him), and I'm not a fan of Dominguez, so I would like to find a long-term solution at third base. I know WTNY traded for Olt in his 'chise, and I'm open to that idea. But, if there are some other 3B prospects that are close to MLB ready that could be had, I'd be interested.

Thanks for your input guys!

Sorry guys, on my phone and can't open the spreadsheet...

I am wanting to move Brendan Ryan... Like in real life, he is hitting around .200 for me and has lost his job to Carlos Triunfel... I am wanting to trade him so I can call up Nick Franklin.

Any ideas?
