    Well trading for Ryan Braun and Manny Parra seem quite unrealistic (in the real world).

      No, trading for Braun is unrealistic. Manny Parra isn't some all-mighty pitcher. If someone gave the Brewers a good deal, they'd consider shipping him out.

        The addition of Braun and Holliday will certainly give you some added offensive fire power. I think it looks pretty good. Are those trades realistic? That is debateable....but since this is a game...that doesn't matter. Looks good to me....Braun is set to explode this season I think, barring injury, he should put up some huge numbers. If Holliday plays to just his "norms" you will get 30+ / 100+. Yeah.....nice moves.

        75% of the Earths surface is covered by water......the remaining 25% is covered by Ichiro.

            I don't know if Holliday will be anything special in Oakland. His road numbers are pretty much a fraction of what they are in Coors.

              The Braun trade is the only thing that I am iffy about (in terms of unfair) I signed Vlad in the offseason and packaged him with I think Glen Perkins and another player for Braun and one of the Brewers scrubs.

                    It would better if you are not going to start Figgins, get some pitching for him. And then you will have a squad..

                        Because its a video game...If he was going for realism, then he failed, but if he has fun playing with those rosters then more power to him...

                          I am more than curious to see how he does away from Coors...the stat differences for pitchers that have played there and then on the road are interesting and well documented...I want to see how it changes for a hitter of his skill level....however that will take more than a couple of years to come up with true and accurate numbers. I have a hunch he will "get his" no matter where he plays.

                            Which moves are unrealistic? So am I suppose to let guys like Carl Crawford, Harden, etc. just sit out there in free agency? If my team does well, has the $$, why wouldn't I try to sign stud free agents? I don't have force trades on, so the CPU has to accept everything. I mentioned that the Braun trade was a border line cheese. But I gave up Vlad, an up and coming pitcher in Perkins and another solid role player for Braun and a scrub that plays on my AA team.

                            I got out bid for Crawford, so it's not like I am signing up every stud free agent. I wanted a solid #1, so I went out and got Harden. I needed another outfielder, so I didn't resign Gomez and got rid of Delmon Young.

                              Braun should be in LF.
                              Holliday the DH IMO
