2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Two questions: Is there anyway that I can get Trumbo from the Angels for a deal involving J.A. Happ? Secondly, out of choices one and four, which one is the most beneficial to me?

I think the Nats deal is more beneficial as you get to young arms back. Berry is nothing more than speed and never will be while Crosby might fade put as a lefty specialist.

To get Trumbo, you'd have to pony a nice prospect along with Happ to begin with. Happ himself doesn't carry that kind of "heavy" value you need to send back in a Trumbo deal so a prospects need to be the main piece and Happ a filler

Depends on your views of Perry.

No chance of getting Trumbo, who I assume is the starting DH for LAA, for a deal with Happ as the centerpiece. (what is it with Trumbo to the Jays deals lately anyway? lol)

I also think Texas isn't giving up a solid young RP in Ross for a P they'll have access to as a UFA soon.

The Nationals deal is also a stretch IMO, Ryan Perry has decent value.

The Tigers deal is ok in terms of what you're getting back, but I just don't see them adding another SP unless someone's out for the year. They already have the problem of having too many SPs.

In general, you're not getting a key cog for J.A. Happ unless we go back to 2010 first.

Teams you might consider (depending on if they're contending or not):

PIT for Chase d'Arnaud/Jordy Mercer + Justin Wilson/Chris Leroux

SDG for Alexi Amarista/Jesus Guzman + mid C prospect

LAA for Taylor Lindsey (this is my favorite for you)

CLE for Lou Marson + Cord Phelps

KC for Chris Getz + low C prospect

How about a couple of edited versions of Scenerio 2 and 3: (see original post for stats)

Scenario 2: Los Angeles
Mark Trumbo for J.A. Happ, Steve Delabar (basically same stats as Lincoln), Kyle Drabek, Ryan Goins and/or Moises Sierra

Scenario 3: Texas
Robbie Ross and Josh Lindblom for J.A. Happ, Luis Perez and/or Dustin McGowan and AJ Jimenez

What'd ya guys think? (Yes I know I'm bad at judging trades...)

Probably too much for happ, these two.

But I like the idea of Alex Yarbrough+ for Happ

Yeah, I would just stop asking for Robbie Ross and Mark Trumbo if I were you.

Hmmm.... I like that deal with Pittsburgh.... I don't really know the Pirates system so who is better d'Arnaud or Mercer and Wilson or Leroux?

Mercer + LeRoux is a good deal for both sides.

Ok. No Lindblom either?

Yeah I was just thinking that. How close is Mercer to the MLB and LeRoux pitched for Team Canada at the WBC right?

He's fine, not Ross.

Mercer is close, and yeah that's the LeRoux. He was great.

Ok. I'm going to try to work a deal around Lindblom (it's gonna be bad). Lindblom and Baker for Happ.

I like this Mercer and LeRoux for Happ deal...

Nothing wrong there.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Nothing wrong there.

Wait... Did I just make a decent trade proposal?!?!?! Anyways, which deal is the better one:

Josh Lindblom and Jeff Baker for J.A. Happ

Or

Jordy Mercer and Chris LeRoux for J.A. Happ

I'm slightly leaning toward the Texas deal but I don't have an available spot in my bullpen so I may convert Lindblom to a starter and leave him in Triple-A.
