Franchise Trade Talk

Re: Franchise Trade Talk

I'm suprised you got Sandoval. I'd never think they'd trade him, I figured he was "Untouchable". I have found a few "Untouchable" and untradable guys. I tried to trade A-Gon for Kershaw and it is impossible. Not saying I would've.

Anybody else find other "Untouchables"? I think Lincecum is another.

It's pretty much anybody over 90 ovr.

Pineda seems to be the lowest rated untouchable I've seen, and he's mid 80s

Yeah, but we know he isn't untouchable because he got traded. I mean like the 90+ ovr. superstars.

Giants are in last place, that may have something to do with it.

Also, on the transactions screen I see poor Chris DeNorfria has been traded 3 times. Padres to Yankees to Dodgers to Cardinals.

The Angels robbed you so idk why you'd feel bad/guilty, if anything you should be pissed they ripped you off...Pujols is on the back half of his career and is on the decline. Cano is a superstar in his prime, playing 2B where it's harder to get power and run production from than 1B (where the Angels have 2 guys who can produce at that spot WITHOUT Pujols)

I guarantee you if the Yanks offered that trade to the Angels, they would accept it before Cashman finished his sentence.

Re: Franchise Trade Talk

I am the Padres and the Angels offered me Kendrys Morales and someone I've never heard of, in exchange for two people in my system I have never heard of. I only had (2) 5-star potential players in my entire system I had to accept a third.

Padres Get:
1B Kendrys Morales and Bobby Cassevah

Angels Get:
James Darnell and Kyle Blanks

Maybe someone can tell me if these guys are real or not.

Blanks and Darnell are real, Blanks showed some promise as a power hitter a couple years ago and Darnell has some upside as well. I've never heard of Cassevah before but that doesn't mean he isn't real lol

Re: Franchise Trade Talk

Does anyone have any trade ideas for the Braves? I love my Braves and want to build them up so Sept 11' never happens AGAIN!

My main concerns are:
2B
3B
LF
Power hitters

The Braves have a lot of young pitchers, which makes Jurrjens and Minor/Beachy available for trade, though I'd love you keep Beachy and Minor. Dan Uggla is a BUM, plan and simple. I can't believe we signed him for what we did. he hits HR, awesome. He also bats .235 (good season) and drives in about 75 runs and thats with 32 HR. If its not over the fence then he's almost of no use. Also, I don't know if anyone else has noticed but Jason Heyward always does bad. I don't know what to do, but he is going to be the new face of the franchise 3 years down the line with McCann and Beachy/Hanson. I want to build this team right, but I've got to get some young prospects in here to build with.

Uggla is having a great spring training and did extremely well down the stretch (remember that 33-game hitting streak? And before you point to his bad performance in September keep in mind he still had a .349 in OBP as well as a .238 average both of which were significantly better than his season start and both of which were on par with the rest of the Braves during that collapse), and he's the only 2B to hit at least 30 HRs in 4 consecutive seasons (he's currently done so for 5 straight). A power hitting 2B is not a common thing (and since you want a power hitter I don't see why you would give one up for the more typical contact 2B). He'll do fine for the Braves moving forward he got off to a terrible start last year and spent the whole season digging himself out of that hole.

3B shouldn't be an issue as you can just move Prado there when Chipper retires, this would still leave LF as a problem area though (though I imagine you listed it because you felt Prado wasn't a great option in the outfield).

Re: Franchise Trade Talk

In my Pirates 'chise I had to deal Charlie Morton, as I can't pitch that sinker to save my life. Put him on the block and the Yanks offered Nova for him...I took that deal in a heartbeat, and had a perfect game through 5.2 and a no-hitter through 6 until he started to wear down and gave up a few hits before I pulled him.

Re: Franchise Trade Talk

Money may require me to deal Carlos Quentin at the trade deadline. I have about $2m in budget room, and his $6m /1 year deal is expiring.

I did the trade finder, and obviously looking for a decent bat the best thing that came up with Adam Lind (a would be nightmare for Petco Park).

Unless something falls in my lap, I'm not making any moves until after the All Star break. This roster is the complete opposite of any roster I have ever used. I'm usually the Blue Jays, hitting in Rogers Centre, now I'm using a team from the mid 80s in a huge ball park.

I want to get rid of Uggla in my franchise also. Right now, he bats under .200 and I've yet to get a homer with him. It's just like in real life it seems so maybe he'll warm up in the later half of the season. I was offered Matt Holliday and a pitcher for Uggla and a pitching prospect and I'm still thinking it over. I don't follow baseball enough anymore to know the right call.

I was thinking I could move pardo to second and have holiday in LF. Thoughts?

Heyward is batting close to .400 for me so I'm pleased. He also leads the league in triples and gives me good defense.

Prado is an infielder first, he's playing outfielder at the moment because he is so versatile, since Chipper will be gone after this year (heck you may have already reached his retirement in the game), he'll be moving to 3rd for the 2013 season. He'll also be on the hot corner whenever Chipper rests a game.

So yeah moving Prado to 3rd is a good move, you may also consider moving him to 2nd if you are dealing Uggla (that's where he spent most of his time). If you have Prado on your team look for deals involving an outfielder, so you can move him to the infield.

Re: Franchise Trade Talk

ok. Soriano is killing me in the field.
He's like a wet slug out there.

Can't move him back to the infield.
Trade thoughts? He might find a happy home in the AL.


also, It doesnt look like there are correct start times.
I dont see any 3pm or 8 pm start times out there
