    undecided on a trade...

    IM sorry ahead of time because this is just gonna sound like a stupid self soothing rant.

    Im most of a realist for the most part at least with my team, so I stuck with the real roster. After going 0-11 I was getting extreamly frustrated after 2 horrible outings by Gavin Floyd, my 5th starter. Got tourched both outtings within the first 4 innings. So I signed and brought it Mark Mulder. I had another horrendous start with him going 5 2/3 giving up 6 runs. Currently im 1-14. I was just browsing thru trade possibilities and found interest in Dontrell Willis. I could get him for Mulder and my AAA catcher Dawkins along with my lowest rating (51) AAA Pitcher. It would solidfy my starting rotation especially since id have 5 quality starters, but I for some reason I feel bad doing it. Almost like im ripping them off and despite me sucking *** at 1-14 feeling like my pitching rotation (at least realistically wise) would be too good (***** stars in the game) with Contrares, Buehrle, Willis, Garland and Vazquez.

    hmmmm

      I'm the sameway. I won't trade for someone that I know wouldn't be traded in real life. I always play the first season with the default rosters, and then get my guys in free agency. I did however trade Pedro Feliz (75) for Andy Marte (64) and Noah Lowry (79) and Emmannuel Burriss (66) for BJ Upton (68).

      Hell, I have 71 million to spend in free agency, and I still refuse to sign all the top FA's and make my team the NY Yankees of the west. I'll also sign teams top prospects and trade them back to their team, since I know in real life that those teams wouldn't let someone like a Phillip Hughes become a FA.

          To avoid starting a new thread I figured I would piggy back on this once since my question is along the same thing. Im in GM mode and have been instructed to get rid of Pierre, not so sure I want too at this point but its what the owner wants. I have decided to package him with Jeff Kent and Ive gotten a few interesting offers and was wanting opinions on whether or not they would be fair to both sides.

          Colorado has offered Carroll, Tavares and Baker.
          Mets have offered Chaves and Reyes (This one seems the least realistic)
          Oakland has offered Piazza, Bradley and Kielty (This is tempting for the purpose of brining Piazza back and letting him retire a Dodger)
          Baltimore has offered Gibbons, Patterson and Mora
          Boston has offered Lester, Pena, Lowell.

          Boston one makes sense since they have nobody worthwhile at 2b. Baltimore trade makes no sense at all since they already have Brian Roberts at 2b. Oakland make some sense since they will be adding talent at two positions that would be an upgrade. Mets offer makes no sense at all. Colorado doesnt make much sense either since they have Gonzalez at 2b, albeit he isnt the most talented but he is hitting the crap out of the ball. All these trade proposals had a minimum of 90% interest by the computer with the Boston deal being 100% interest. Just looking for opinions here is all.

            Makes sense... your a White Sox fan.

            At 1-14 I don't think one pitcher will fix the problem.

              Here's one for you guys...

              I'm doing a GM w/ TB, and I am unsure on whether or not I should try and re-sign Kazmir. I would like to meet one of my goals to "acquire a dominant pitcher", but that pitcher has to be an 85 overall or have an ERA less than 3.00 last yr.

              The only two players who fit the ERA part are Johan and Oswalt, and I am not going to try and make a deal for them.

              So I would like to move Kazmir for a pitcher who is an 85 overall, and under contract for a couple more years. Who would be a good choice?

                I decided I definatly needed a trade, but instead of going after superstar Willis I grabbed Eric Milton instead.
