Re: Just traded for Todd Helton!
It's his game and he can't do what he wants. Don't compromise the integrity of the game.

He meant that the trade is TOTALLY unrealistic. Granted...it is YOUR game and you can do as you wish, but why take advantage of the trade logic. Seriously, this trade would never happen, but my hat's off to you for finding a way to get Helton.

I don't see why you say that it is totally unrealistic. First off, not all 3 players were having bad years. Martinez was up and down yes, but since joining the Rockies he is on a 10 game hitting streak. Marrero was hitting .305 with 15 homers and 41 ribbies, so why do you say that the Rockies would never do that trade? Fassero they did take, and do you want to know something they traded him away. The Rockies are appx, 18.5 games behind the Giants for the West, and at least 11 games back in the wildcard. Maybe they are trying to get better for next year. Remember this, sometimes you have to spend a nickel, to make a dime. In baseball terms, sometimes you have to trade your star player, to get better. Just ask the Expos, Phillies,and Mariners.

Re: Just traded for Todd Helton!
I think the trade was made because the game over-values Eli Marrero. Last season his hitting blossomed once he moved to the outfield (I know some scouting reports that theorized his hitting was bolstered by the lowering of defensive responsibility) but the game reads him as being a top ten Catcher I would suspect-- much the same way it regards Scott Hatteberg, though he doesn't catch anymore either. The game doesn't take into account that Marrero's good hitting is very much dependant on his NOT catching all the time. Hence, a trade of a very good catcher and an average but serviceable 1st baseman for a great 1st baseman makes more sense. I might sumise the trade happens even without Fassero thrown in.
However in real life... not a friggen chance. Maybe if the Cards replaced Fassero with JD Drew I could see it. The point is, teams don't trade in there best players for older players. They rebuild with youth.Comment
