I moved up Cervelli from AAA to backup martin at the catcher position since it was Romine backing up at the start of the season, and I put Rodriguez as Jeters backup. I actually simmed a season earlier today before this new franchise to check out stats at the end of the year and was offered this trade during the sim, and I thought wow pretty good deal, especially at the end of the simmed season I saw Rodriquez jump 8 points in overall lol. And jeter has retired in both of my simmed seasons while checking out stats so I think it works out pretty good overall.

I would've asked for more than just S-Rod from the Rays because Romine's a pretty good prospect.

Haven't had to do anything yet, but assuming Chipper retires after the year I'll need a LF since I'll move Prado to 3B.

I traded to get Rizzo back

Yeah I see what your saying but I can take the trade positively also, In Rodriguez I have a young solid defensive short stop whose got some speed and progresses pretty well, which I need since it seems Jeters retires after 1 year in this game all the time. And in the catcher aspect I can resign Martin and Cervelli for 1-2 years while I look for upgrade in free agency or draft another catcher prospect.

Traded for a few guys for my Red Sox chise. I traded for Ubaldo Jiminez ( Horrrible Pick-Up BTW ) , also got Justin Masterson who has been awesome. Another notable guy I got is Johhny Venters who is also really good. These are real trades too BTW, I'm not controllling all the teams. I think they were great trades. I got rid of Dice-K, Lackey and Jenks in the end.

Edit: Also Got Heath Bell, Francisco Rodriquez and Boone Logan. All three are pretty good. I think my chise has an excellent bullpen!



What do you guiys think? Good or Bad Trades?

Depends on who you traded. Nice pickups though.
