Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ok thanks. I don't like using force trade. I will stick to normal.

Unfortunately...force trade or 30 team control are the only 2 ways to use this thread to effectively be realistic in trades. The trade logic isn't always the best in The Show, and if used correctly either method can combat the trade logic quite well.

NYY gets:
RF Giancarlo Stanton (Mid A Mid A Mid A High B High B High C)
SP Ricky Nolasco (Low B High C)
SS Adeiny Hechavarria (Mid B High C)
3B Chone Figgins (or some throw away player)

MIA gets:
C Gary Sanchez (Low-Mid A)
OF Mason Williams (Low A)
SP Michael Pineda (Low A)
SP Phil Hughes (Hi B)
SP Manny Banuelos (Hi B)
RP Mark Montgomery (Mid B)
2B David Adams (Mid B)
SS Austin Aune [Mid-Hi C]
3B Dante Bichette Jr [Mid-High C]
OF Melky Mesa [Mid-Hi C]

Holy... okay, let's go through this.

What I see you're going for here is a bunch of high-risk, high potential guys. I think that this could definitely work, though. What I see in here with guys like, well, literally all of them except Adams and Hughes, are high-risk, WAY high potential here. I'm lower on Sanchez than most and don't think he sticks at catcher, but I love Pineda/Montgomery. I think that if the Marlins threw back another starter like Eovaldi, LeBlanc, or Alvarez, the Yankees would be more inclined to accept, because their pitching depth is turrible as is and you're killing it even further here.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thx, but this thread is all about helping keep our franchises realistic and trades fair--to keep from ripping off the AI. For instance, why would the Jays trade Dickey IRL? They wouldn't.

Yea I'm just saying... don't get me wrong, you would have to still give up a good prospect and a starter...

More concerned with fairness over realism, but what would it take for the Braves to get Matt Moore?

Teheran + Betancourt?

I would think the Braves would have to throw in another prospect as well, they would probably have to give up either Graham or Wood along with Julio & Betancourt.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright so I'm terrible with CJ Wilson and looking to move his contract, something like 6 mil a year for 3 years. My options for a straight up trade are Roy Halladay 93 ovr(9 mil but last year) RA Dickey(5 mil a yr for 3 yrs) 95 ovr. Or I could look to trade Wilson for 2 decent starters such as Cashner and Volquez

Open for any suggestions

I originally was thinking that but figured that with the variance in opinion on Betancourt, some / most might disagree. I originally had Gattis in the trade too, but I think Gilmartin would fit nicely.

My options for a straight up trade are Roy Halladay 93 ovr(9 mil but last year) Lol RA Dickey(5 mil a yr for 3 yrs) Take a look at what Jays had to give up. Not happening 95 ovr. Or I could look to trade Wilson for 2 decent starters such as Cashner and Volquez Doubt you'll get both

Open for any suggestions

C.J. Is tricky. He can be good, but has a lot of risks. Anyway, what positions do the Angels really need? They are STACKED. But, you will only really get the best out of him if you trade for prospects. I would look at the Spreadsheet to see what you can get.

I like Betancourt but I'm not sure how high the Rays would be on a no-hit catcher. I would think the Rays would want a higher upside pitcher such as Graham or Wood as opposed to Gilmartin whose ceiling is probably only a number 3 starter.

Yeah, as catchers are getting progressively more offense-based, Betancourt's bat worries me.

I think that it should either be Teheran + Betancourt + Gilmartin, or Teheran + Graham/Wood. I think Teheran + Betancourt + Graham/Wood is too much, as even though I'm VERY high on Moore, I'm also quite high on Teheran.

If I'm the Rays I'm asking for Teheran + Betancourt + Graham. But as a Braves fan no way I'd do that lol. Idk if the roster makers make Graham a high B I could see Teheran + Graham. I just don't think the Rays would have much interest in Gilmartin. Not really their MO to go after low upside SPs.

What about Teheran + Betancourt + Joey Terd? They get Julio to replace Matt Moore, future catcher in Betancourt and a young bat who I feel like fits great with what how the rays operate in Joey T.

That's the worst nickname ever.

I don't think that's enough, I'm not that high on Terdoslavich.

Lol I know! I'm not very high on Terds myself, I just feel like he's someone the Rays would be interested in. The way I was looking at it is they trade one pitcher for a pitcher of similar upside, and two players who could be starting position players (C & 1B) within the next year or two.
