Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'd aim for someone like Julio Borbon or Coco Crisp. They're no top tier names but won't cost much at all to require and provide you with good defense, leadoff skills and solid baserunning.



Look at the spreadsheet linked from the first page of this thread for all player values. To acquire a player like CarGo, you'd definitely have to part with Wheeler and D'Arnaud (maybe even Harvey).

Yeah Crisp is someone I thought about and in the spreadsheet it says I would have to give up a High, Mid and Low B and High C for Cargo. Which isn't to bad but I'm not sure if the Mets have those kind of prospects give up

Yeah we'll that's the thing with the Mets. They're top heavy with D'Arnaud, Harvey and Wheeler but besides that there's not much to brag about. They'd be better off developing what they've got, focus on the draft and go after cheap veterans that can contribute like Crisp.

The Rangers could use an OF'er (and 1B depth) so Hart could be sent packing that way...thinking someone like Tanner Scheppers or Justin Grimm in return.

Send Rickie Weeks to the Dodgers for Javy Guerra and some prospect from the lower minors

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

2. It says Texas thinks highly of Andrus but if they have Profar waiting don't they have to do something with Andrus?

I think Totte answered this, but IMHO they're more likely to do something about Kinsler.

However, I'm going to up the price and get rid of the 'unrealistic.'

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So I'm trying to improve my bench by making a relatively minor trade. The move I have in mind is sending Juan Fransisco to the Rays for Ryan Roberts. I get a guy who has a lot if versatility (can play 3rd, 2nd and LF) and the Rays get a left handed power bat with some potential to back up Longoria or DH.

Fair move? Or does one side need to send a prospect or two to even it out?

Send a low C to Tampa along with Francisco for Roberts

Alright cool, so Fransisco + Terdoslavich for Roberts would work?

[Totte]

If Terdoslavich is a C rated prospect, then yes.

Is Terdoslavich a 3B though? The Braves are thin prospect wise at 3B and the Rays have Longoria long term so if Terdo is a 3B, I'd find someone else to even out the deal with.

Sorry I don't know how to quote on the iPhone app but I'm responding to AC Milan about the Tulo trade. Miller and Martinez are both A potential + Jenkins and Wacha are both B so are they interchangeable?

No. Miller and Wacha are projected as starters. Jenkins and Martinez are projected as relievers.

From most of what I've read, for whatever that's worth.

[big_tone91]

Carlos Martinez gets a lot of Pedro Martinez comparisons and the only reason people give for him being a reliever is his height. Never heard that about Jenkins but he has had shoulder problems.

Carlos Martinez is not going to be Pedro Martinez. Most of what I've read from guys like Mike Newman have him as a reliever. You're trying to trade for Tulo. They need a sure starter.

Shoulder? Automatic no. Shoulder problems on young pitchers are a very, very, VERY bad thing.

[big_tone91]

Never said he was just that's the player he's been compared to. Has he given any reasons besides his height? He has 3 pitches and everything I've read has been that he has top of the rotation stuff. Started 15 games in AA Springfield last year and had a 2.90 ERA. Yeah you're right I don't think the Rockies would take the risk with Jenkins IRL.

He really only has two above average pitches, his FB and CB.

Let's put it this way. We don't even need to have this debate with Miller, and that's why you'd have to give up Miller to get Tulo.

[big_tone91]

Right now but his changeup has flashed better than above average it's a pitch he's working on and is still at least average. He throws it quite a bit. If you're giving up Miller who is in the big league rotation you shouldn't have to give up 3 of your other top 10 prospects (1 or 2 who are in the top 5 depending on who you're going by) I just don't think it's realistic for the Cardinals to trade both Miller (in the rotation) and Wacha (just drafted) You're telling me they couldn't figure out a trade with the best farm in baseball one which is heavy in pitching prospects without giving up both of them?
