    What Trades have you made??

    I am a stickler for realism. So I always have to find a fine line between realism and trading for a player I want.

    I always need that one young/top prospect kind of guy on my team that I can root for. I play as the Chicago Cubs and they don't really have that. I am jealous of the Rays because I'd LOVE to have an Evan Longoria or BJ Upton. I would probably trade Soriano and Ramirez for Longoria haha. Anyways, my trade logic always is: When in doubt, always OVERPAY the cpu so you don't get the feeling you ripped them off.

    Just curious, what trades have you guys made? OR maybe you don't make any and just mimic the moves your team makes in real life?

    I ALWAYS love talking trades. Whether it's Madden, NBA2k9, or this game. So I hope this thread takes off.

      Lol I like trading, but keep it under control. I don't seem to have a lot of fun if my team is TOO stacked. What I usually try to do is trade for a young guy on my team that I can kinda root for and groom into an all star. I usually like to get good prospects to grow in my farm system too.

      You may as well have done a fantasy draft!

        Winn + Ish...guy with the Japanese last name that doesn't appear to be Japanese...for Ryan Howard.

        Trying to trade Zito before I start the rest of the franchise but I can't get anything at all for him it seems. Meant to find some pitching prospects I can maybe trade him for. Brought up the 75 rated guy in AAA who's name I've forgotten already. Closest to anything decent so far has been Arroyo.

            Travis Ishikawa, probably their starting 1B this year. Pretty good player. I'd hang on to him.

                I am trying to find a LH pitcher for my bullpen (as the Met's) I am trying to dump Ryan Church or my backup catcher, any suggestions?
                Gaming hard since 1988

                I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.

                        Yup. One time I traded Xavier Nady (87) and Bobby Parnell (68) for Roy Halladay (90)

                          I lost Wagner for 60 days in game 3 of the season. I don't have any other quality lefties left in my bullpen.
