Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
Well that narrows it down. Lol.
The more I think about it, the more JPA seems like the perfect Loria player. Just good enough to tempt the fans, but not really a player you could build around. But, still a decent enough trade chip when it's time to clean house again.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I'm narrowing it down between...
JPA + Lugo + Drabek for Lucroy + K-Rod
JPA + Nay + Jeffress for Lucroy + K-Rod
JPA + Lugo for Brantly
Looking for the best combo of fairness and realism here. I'm just not SURE on Lucroy, I don't have that "AC's 100% realism badge of approval" feeling about him. Brantly, I gotta say I do if JPA was going back. Think about it, they get a great 3B prospect in Lugo and the PERFECT Loria guy - JPA is Cuban, he was born in Miami, he hits lots of dingers and he's young. It makes a lot of sense."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

You already said that the Marlins are starting Olivo over Brantly (though I do know that you've got 30 team control, and could change that), and JP fits the mold of a typical Loria guy.
Plus, Lugo gives them something to look forward to at third base.
I say go for it.MLB 13 The Show Dynasty -- Mile High Magic Returns: A Colorado Rockies Dynasty Is BornComment

I'm definitely going to sleep on this, because God knows what's wrong with my mind at 12:30 AM, but I do think this is solid and I'll report back in the morning if I do make this trade."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

I just don't see Brantly as a realistic target at all. They just got him in-season last year and he's not arb eligible until 2016. I'm not really sure why people like that one. If he's not expensive or about to be, the Marlins have no reason to trade their starting catcher unless it's to package salary with him. You'd have a better time getting Mathis.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
JPA could be a good Loria sell and an improvement over Brantly, right? He's not arb eleigible but they get a good building piece to make up for that. I would suggest throwing in a fringe arm to feel better about it and it seems pretty solid to me.Comment

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
If you are going for 100% realism which I think you are. I think you should toss out the Lucroy deal to be on the safe side. I think you should also do the same with the Brantly deal.
No way Yadier gets traded.
Alex Avila.. maybe.
I think you should look into:
Kurt Suzuki - depending on how well the Nationals are doing, I think this would be a realistic option.
AJ Ellis - This seems like it could work. It wouldn't surprise me for the Dodgers to pull a deal off that would get them a somewhat big name catcher with power. Maybe you could even get a Mark Ellis, Punto, or Schumaker out of the deal to play 2B for you.
I think Jason Castro isn't too far out of the question.
Not sure about this one, but Ryan Hannigan? Depending on stats/standings I think it could work and JP could rake in Cinci.Denver Broncos

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I like Taillon for Story, though. It helps me in a year or two at a position of need. I don't do well with RHP FB-CB types and have a lot of depth at SP so I can easily let him go. COL always needs pitchers but they prefer sliders as well so I'm still not sure...G3no, you out there? I was thinking of keeping Taillon in case I'm a buyer though as well. Unlike Amaro, I like to plan ahead.Last edited by rjackson; 06-23-2013, 01:14 AM.Comment

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I'm playing with the Tampa Bay Rays and i'm not a fan of Jose Molina and would like to get another starting caliber catcher. I don't mind Lobaton but he is more of bench catcher. What trades could land me a solid catcher?Comment

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
Probably wise. It seems people are questioning the realism of getting Lucroy or Brantly, which is fair.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread
I'm not sure JP Arencibia is an upgrade at all. Plus, he 2 years closer to arbitration, and that really matters to a team like Miami.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment
