Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just curious, what was your Mauer deal?

Check out the top of page 47 in the franchise link in my signature.

Thanks WTNY I want to use your deal but don't want Ruf. Anyway to get Perkins or maybe Morneau from twins and cutting out the Phil's ?

Up to you bro. Propose something.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Okay. So I'm about a 2 weeks away from the all star game in my Braves franchise. I'm currently in first place and up by 6 games.

I'm going to be in the market for an everyday 3B and a solid RH arm for the bullpen.

So I need all you fans of other teams to let me know which players you succeed with in those positions.

I could also part ways with BJ Upton if need be. I hate his batting stance in the show. Lol. Gattis and McCann have been great all season so it's been a struggle getting them both in the lineup. So Gattis could play LF if BJ was gone. Schafer has also been great so just another reason why BJ isn't a need.

Budget options would include:
*Jed Lowrie (his arm plays all over the IF and he hits LHP especially well)
*Jeff Keppinger
*Placido Polanco (1 season deal, but even vs. LHP and RHP + in the field)
*Chris Nelson (Nolan Arenado is right on his heels + 2 B POT behind him)

Slightly better players:
*David Freese
*Martin Prado

Really good players:
*David Wright (if they're out of it and you give up an OF and other youngsters)

If I had to choose one guy, though, it'd be Beltre. He's older but is sooo versatile. I'm not sure what he'd command that you'd be willing to get.

Maybe ill just take Ruf and do the deal for headley deal as well

OK, well some good options. You can toss out Prado who the Braves just traded away and you can definitely toss out David Wright. There is a no chance in **** that the Mets deal Wright in the division to a rival team.

I like the other 5 choices though. They're just good enough to play every day, but the Braves can get them cheaply (and make no mistake the Braves are pretty cheap).

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If you're big on realism I'd probably swap Elmore with someone of equal value, I don't think the Dbacks want Elmore back.

Well what about Robbie Grossman 78 ovr low-mid B + Josh Denson 58 ovr mid A for Delgado and Prado straight up?

Seems like an underpay for Delgado + Prado, but I'm not sure why you insist on trading an A prospect that you just drafted, unless you think he's gonna suck, in which case he's probably not worth an A.

I'd also double check the spreadsheet because I think Prado and Delgado are gonna cost you several B's (4-5 depending on their stats) and maybe a C, not one A and one B as you are proposing.

As WTNY said, underpay, and the insistence makes me a bit suspicious.

[BlueJays09]

Rickie Weeks requires a B + C? Figured he would be 1 not both

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hello everyone, I've been following this forum for quite some time and just want to thank you guys for all the effort put into this.

I am considering starting a franchise with the Red Sox but want to operate them with sort of a "moneyball" mentality. What would be some good young, cheap players to get for more expensive guys like:

Ryan Dempster
John Lackey
Koji Uehara
Shane Victorino
Stephen Drew
Jon Lester
and basically any older guy not named Dustin Pedroia or David Ortiz

I've read the values on the spreadsheet but don't have a good enough general idea of farm systems outside of the Cubs to piece together good, realistic trades.

Thanks for the help!

To get help here you at least need to narrow it down/prioritize by position. This question is way too vague as is (which leaves us to do all the grunt work of figuring out who YOU want to trade for. Even if we wanted to help you, which most of us do, that would be No Bueno). The more specific you can be about players and positions, the more likely you are to find help here.

Nice handle, btw.

Spreadsheet says low B + high C. Nothing wrong with that. 2B is not exactly the deepest position in the game. If you want cheaper, go for his bro Jemile.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

The CPU trading logic really overvalues age. They will trade away oldies for nothing it seems. I traded Jason Motte for Ichiro, Jeter and Mariano then traded Jaime Garcia and Jon Jay for Gio Gonzalez (Granted Gio does have a 5.71 ERA through 1 month). I knew I took advantage of the CPU but I like them as people not just players.

I forgot about the divisional thing.

The other guys rake against me.

I think there's a misperception that guys have to be an 85 OVR or up to merit attention. For an everyday player at the hot corner, I'm looking for fielding of 60-65, 65 arm strength and 60 + reaction time. That set plays very well. Anything over that is a bonus.

At the plate, I'm looking for one contact rating of 60, the other in the high 50s or above, and power ratings in the 55 or above in one power category. The Show, like no other game, gives you the opportunity to make meaningful use of players with those kinds of ratings.

Okay sorry about the vagueness I'll try to come up with a list of guys.

3B: Josh Donaldson?

SP: Jose Fernandez, Jose Quintana, maybe Patrick Corbin, Chris Sale, or Jeff Samardzija (Maybe not the last three as I can see them getting real expensive real quick)

SS Fill in until Bogaerts is ready

OF: Gerrardo Parra? or someone that can hit for power

And some studs for the bullpen..not really too knowledgable on relief pitchers


I'd like to move guys like:

Ryan Dempster
John Lackey
Jon Lester
Matt Thornton
Koji Uehara
Stephen Drew
Shane Victorino
Jonny Gomes
David Ross
and Mike Napoli if I could get a good 1B in a trade to replace him.

I could also move some prospects if need be to teams like Miami or Chicago but would rather not.

I realize that guys like Napoli, Victorino, and Dempster that were just signed wouldn't be the most realistic to be dealt so I suppose we could take them off of that list if you don't think it'd be realistic. Thanks for the help guys.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So in my Mets franchise at the deadline, I have 30 team control so I want to get Giancarlo Stanton out of my division haha. I think the most likely destination is the Pirates who are 60-46 but are getting no production from Travis Snider (just like real life). Stanton's hitting .254/.324/.459 and is set to make $10 mil in 2014 through arbitration. I know it's yet another Stanton trade...but

Jameson Taillon (A), Gregory Blanco (B), Luis Heredia (B), Nick Kingham (B), Travis Snider (B) for Stanton.

I know it's a little less than the spreadsheet value but Stanton is just doing OK and I thought the spreadsheet overrated him. It gives the Marlins a future ace, three future starters, and a replacement OF with potential. Is it fair enough?

Maybe add in one more prospect like Tony Sanchez (High C). I'd get some other opinions though, I haven't really suggested any trades before so not quite sure if what I suggest is right or not lol.
