2012 Franchise Progress Thread

[HighCmpPct]

Hey guys playing my mess around chise with the Bravos waiting on OSFM, just wondering what yall that a fair trade for Johan might be? I know it's not realistic but I like pitching with him and as stated its just a waiting franchise.

Thinking of something centering around Hudson, but not sure what else to throw in? And please don't give me any starting position players please in love with my lineup right now!

I don't know if this is cause for concern or not but, last night I was messing around with my pirates franchise, saw Jose Bautista on the trade block, figured what the hell, it would be cool to have him come back to the burgh. Offered Jameson Taillon and another prospect for him thinking no way they will take this offer. To my suprise they took it. Granted Bautista is in the last year of his contract, it just feels like i cheated.

If they'll trade Doc they'll trade anyone.

Well, I've been playing my Indians chise nonstop since the game came out. I'm playing over half the game and sorta managing and jumping in the others. Its May 25, and we're 25-20 0.5 games back of the Tigers and 1.5 games back in the Wild Card. I just made a trade yesterday...Carlos Lee for 2 B prospects. Kotchman was horrible for me at first and I really needed a big right handed bat. Houston is in rebuilding so I figured it was pretty realistic, prob the only trade ill pull off all year, maybe another small one at the deadline. As a team were hitting .271 and the team ERA is 3.46

Sizemore (back from injury played about 5 games) - .212 1 HR
Asdrubal Cabrera - .367 10 HR
Choo - .246 3 HR
Santana - .311 7 HR
Hafner - .249 8 HR
Lee - .246 8 HR
Kipnis - .280 6 HR
Duncan - .272 6 HR
Hannahan - .219 0 HR
Donald - .284 0 HR
Kotchman - .278 3 HR (Just hit a walk off in the rubber game with Detroit)

Masterson 2-3 2.37 ERA
Jimenez 2-5 4.94
Lowe 3-2 3.79
Tomlin 4-3 3.66

Chris Perez 0.48 14/15 Saves
Slowey 5-0 3.04

I don't think it would take Hudson to acquire Johan being that the Mets are in rebuilding mode and trying to shed salary instead of trying to add.....Its kinda hard since u dont have your full minors and I know the Braves are stocked with young pitching talent...But to answer your question, i'd probably send two high-level B pitching prospects, and a B OF prospect

nice to see that your Lee acquisition is paying dividends so far

lol...ever since I made the Carlos Lee trade, Kotchman has been lights out! I'm talking .450 in his last 5 games. Pretty funny and realistic, as im sure he feel threatened and mad that we went out and replaced him at 1B...i doubt thats programmed in the game, but cool nevertheless!
