2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What prospect do you guys think the Yankes would have to move for Rios? Grandy is out for a while and I need some outfield help. CHI is pretty much out of it if that helps.

Heathcott and low B I would say.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You guys know the Rockies well. If they were contending, what are your thoughts on trading Matzek and Swanner for Garza or Edwin Jackson+?

The Rockies have actually looked at acquiring Garza before. It would really depend on stats.

I think right now the Rockies are going to stick with their current rotation: Oswalt, JDLR, Chacin, Nicasio, Chatwood. If one of those players falter (most likely Nicasio) they would call up Pomeranz to take his spot.

How is Garza doing and how is the Rockies rotation performing? and where are they at in the playoff race (division/wild card)?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

This is a move I could actually see happening.

Like I said, they are quickly running out of patience with Matzek and his inability to put the ball over the plate. Even though he has outstanding stuff, his command leaves a lot to desire.

The Rockies boast one of the deepest group of catching prospects in baseball. With Rosario entrenched as the starter, and a plethora of guys working their way up (namely their recent draftee Tom Murphy), I could see them be more than willing to give up Swanner+ to pick up a front line starter.

I think you're on to something here. Come up with a proposal and we'll see what we've got.

Thanks guys. Here's the info on the Cubs and the stats for Swanner + Matzek: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2045160130

Rockies rotation:
Chacin - 5.02 ERA
De Le Rosa 3.51 ERA
Nicasio - 3.41 ERA
Francis - 4.46 ERA
Friedrich - 6.06 ERA

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

With those numbers I would say:

Garza for Matzek + Swanner

Jackson + Baker for Matzek + Swanner + C prospect


Judging by the rotation stats in Colorado, they would jump at the chance to get some fresh starters in there, especially if they're in contention.

The most realistic thing would be to send Friedrich down and call up Chatwood or Pomeranz and maybe do the same with Francis. I'm not sure if you're doing 30 team control or not though. That would also depend on how Chatwood and Pomeranz are performing.

If that is the rotation they are going with, then I say the Garza trade is fine. Especially because Garza has been pretty hot in his last 5 starts.

You got the OK from me.

Garza + Rusin for Swanner + Matzek?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thank you both very much, that was very helpful. I'll send down Friedrich and bring up Pomeranz. It looks like Francis has been pitching a bit out of the bullpen so I'll make sure he stays there. I'll probably trade Garza + Hairston (Cuddyer is struggling and Rutledge is injured) for Matzek + Swanner. Thanks again!

My laptop crashes for one day and I miss all of THIS. Geez lol.

10char Totte, you gonna give us updates on your franchsie? It sounds fun but I couldnt play in that ballpark all the time...

ERM, I THINK I WAS THE MOST ACTIVE LAST YEAR THANKS ME VERY MUCH!

Would like some feedback plz. Hypothetical situation. Say I am the Marlins and I somehow am in possession of Hiram Burgos and Chris Capuano. If I decide to deal them both for Matt Harvey, any chance of that being fair?

LOLno.

Thanks bro. I know, but I was debating someone in the 2K13 franchise progress forum about it. He said he won't make any lopsided deals that exploit trade AI. But he actually did that deal (sorry to make you cringe wih this one). I wanted to run it through here though, lol

Makes more sense, knew you weren't behind that lol. Not even slightly, remotely fair.

The Rockies don't really need Hairston. LeMahieu would fill in for Rutledge and if Cuddyer is struggling, he could platoon with Colvin. The Rockies have a ton of OF's.

I was just thinking the same thing. Besides, I think you'd be giving up too much in that case.

Matzek + Swanner is plenty for Garza.

Just my opinion.

I don't think it's really an overpay considering Swanner is hitting .400... but the Rockies don't need Hairston at all.

True, but Matzek hasn't been great.

Garza's numbers aren't sterling, but he's an upgrade over most of the pitching staff. I think a Garza, Chacin, DLR, Nicasio, Pomeranz/Chatwood rotation is actually pretty solid.

Garza is worth two high B's according to the spreadsheet. Should be plenty.

Yeah it's not a deal breaker either way, but if you want to throw in another player, don't give the Rockies Hairston.

There's the latest Garza rumor. Build off that.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Pedro Alvarez to LAD for Seager & Paco Rodriguez? I'd prefer Zach Lee but I know they won't move him. Not sure about Seager. Realistic?

Any thoughts anyone?

AC, didn't I say "one of"? I remember you liking this thread so much from day one that you very respectfully took it over on NFG's behalf.
