Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Included Hudson because I think his value is minimal due to injury risk but he's someone to make it look like MIA is trying, so our difference is really on Delgado being included.

Skaggs + Bradley + Eaton + Davidson + Delgado?

That's more than fair. It's just slightly less realistic due to Delgado being recently acquired but I don't think it's that dealbreaking.

Hudson does have less value due to the injury but I think he can at least be a #3 in a playoff rotation if he recovers nicely. Plus, he's still an A (or maybe high B but I'm not at my ps3 ATM) so he develops into a solid pitcher

I don't think there's a single prospect that could be unrealistic when trading for Stanton, aside from trade eligibility issues (recent draftees). Actually, someone was discussing with me, I wonder how a Buxton + Sano for Stanton trade would end up for both sides, and you're a Twins fan, so I want your opinion on that. I found it fascinating, honestly. Stanton is... Stanton but Buxton > everyone but Tavares and Profar for me, and Sano's incredible.

I think Hudson's a mid/high B. Either him or Duffy, usually get them confused.

Good point about the no unrealistic prospects in a Stanton trade. At the end of the day, who wouldn't want Stanton?

About the Buxton+Sano for Stanton trade, I personally wouldn't do it. If the Twins were sure they were able to compete soon. I don't see them competing while Stanton is under team control. Mauer+Stanton= but I just don't think a Stanton trade would be the greatest trade for the Twins to pull right now.

I don't mean in terms of team success, I just mean..

If you threw standings aside, so standing-neutral, if Stanton was traded for Buxton and Sano, who would win the trade.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I just pulled off the trade of...

Red Sox (Me) trade away: Trevor Rosenthal (on Cardinals IRL) and Joe Terdoslavic (on Braves IRL)
Braves trade away: Jordan Schafer, Alex Wood and Anthony Varvaro

I dont see this as unfair, definitely unrealistic but that's why it's a video game...

Also, I think Im gonna look at re-acquiring Terdoslavic, any thoughts on what would be fair to give up for him??? Thanks!

I think you are losing that trade. Even though Wood is looking great irl right now, you're giving up the best player in the deal, Rosenthal.

I'm the twins and we desperately needs some speed on our team. Was thinking about Dee Gordon. What's a fair trade for him

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just thinking of it Mauer and Stanton 3 and 4 would be unfair if they had a decent team around them. I'd think Stanton would be almost guaranteed to get 150 RBIs a year

If I remember correctly, there was a discussion involving him back in the thread. Try searching that up...

Yeah Rosenthal is a fantastic pitcher, he's actually doing pretty bad in my game right now and I have Bard who's playing well and also picked up Jordan Swagerty from the Rule 5 Draft (which I dont think he would be a part of IRL, lol)... and he's pitching very well too... along with my other pitchers, I dont have a spot for Rosenthal... Im also trying to keep my team together and not have a too-good of a team, that's the main reason I wanted to trade Rosenthal....

Any thoughts on what to give up for Joe Terdoslavic...???

I'm not high on Terdoslavic at all, but he's a mid C I believe, so I'd assume if you sent back a mid C in return it would be fair.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

It's June 25th in my franchise, and I thought it would be interesting to give you guys an update on my Mark Trumbo trade I did a while back. Please excuse me if this is misplaced, I just thought it would be cool to update how the trade worked out about 2 months later. I traded Biddle, Tommy Joseph, and Delmon Young for Trumbo. Trumbo is ice cold hitting .221 with 11 HRs and 34 RBIs.... Tommy Joseph and DElmon Yong are doing ok, but the real issue is that Jesse Biddle got moved up to an A and became a "Top 50 Prospect". He just moved to AAA and is red hot. Needless to say, this trade can be chalked up as a failure thus far haha.

Updates are encouraged!

There's a reason I don't like Trumbo lol.

Yeah, I'm more upset about Biddle, haha!

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Tyler Colvin + Christian Friedrich for Singleton

Friedrich + Rob Scahill + Colvin + Charlie Culberson for Singleton + Tropeano

The problem with this trade is it assumes that Tyler Colvin actually has value. As I've been trying to say, he's a replacement-level player thrust into a favorable situation. Look at his HOME/ROAD SPLITS if you don't believe me...Luhnow would be immediately fired if he did this one. Both Singleton and Tropeano have value.

I'm the twins and we desperately needs some speed on our team. Was thinking about Dee Gordon. What's a fair trade for him

Well Dee is listed as high B + low B + high C, which is probably a bit high given how the guy just never seemingly shows any improvement.

I'd go with,

Dozier/Plouffe + low-mid B SP/MI prospect
