I gotta say, man, Iwakuma would probably be the best fit. Not that many great fits right there.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

TBlackley is still with OAK and instead of setting an arbitrary number of trades via house rules and considering slight yet magnified differences from IRL to digital rosters, I use 30 team but consider what the CPU wants/thinks it needs. IRL he went to HOU for Goebbert early in April. I am thinking Fautino for Blackley. Fautino sims better than he plays and I play all games. ZiPS must have liked Blackley, though. He seems more valuable digitally than IRL.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Blackey's who you're talking about? Mid/low C.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I knew that but that is the preconception I was trying to avoid. Somehow, digitally, he was worth a bit more. He is the most realistic, though.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Anyway to unload Ichiro to someone? 2 yrs left, 40yrs old. . Should i bother with stats or am i stuck with him? I dont need anything of value in return and can add a prospect or two if needed.

How's he doing? How far along in the season? Could anyone use an outfielder?

Could work. Contenders? Who needs the players you're willing to give?

It's only May. He's hitting .159 with 44 ABs. He hit .257 last year. I benched him and started playing Mason Williams this yr.
I can't handle Ichiro anymore. He hit like .100 in the 2013 playoffs and i got swept in the alcs.

I can add Romine, or pitching prospects. I'm mid game so i'll have to look at the DL on what teams need an OFer.

Worst case scenario i just send down a reliever and call up Boesch and just let Ichiro collect dust on the end of the bench.

Nope. Too early and he's not doing well enough. You're stuck with him. Play him or release him are your options.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You could trade him back to Seattle, a la Junior, for a D prospect or something. I kinda like that idea tbh.

This is assuming Seattle's sucking, which is fair, 'cause y'know.. Seattle.

It's May 21 in my franchise, so there's still lots of "contenders".

- All of the AL East is at or above .500, with the Orioles last at 22-22.

- The Indians (16-28) sit last in the Central, 9.5 games back of the Tigers (25-18)

- Houston (10-35) is 19.0 games behind AL West leading Texas (29-16), while Seattle (26-20) is third, three games back.

- The Braves (32-13) have run away with the NL East, with the second place Mets (24-21) eight games back, and the Nationals (16-29) sitting in last (16 games back). Three teams are more than 10 games behind the lead.

- The Brewers (28-16) are leading the Central, while the last place Cubs (15-29) are 13.0 games back. All the other teams are above .500.

- The Dodgers (26-17) lead the division with a two game lead on the D-Backs (25-20). All other teams are below .500.


I'll come up with a list of who needs what I'm willing to give up.

I would wait another 2-3 weeks.
