**All Trades Discussion Thread**

New York Mets Get:

1. Ryan Theriot
2. Jeff Samardizja

Chicago Cubs Get:

1. Luis Castillo
2. Duaner Sanchez

That was my best trade so far, I pwned the Cubs (even though it may be fair), I also gained a ton of budget doing this trade. Put yours on this thread.

also

Nationals get George Kontos, Phil Hughes and Brett Gardner
Yankees get Corey Patterson, Wilfedo Ledezma and Daniel Cabrera

I'm running with the Giants. I sent Aaron Rowand and Gaby Sanchez to the Cardinals for Rick Ankiel and Joe Mather.

Ankiel gives me more range and a better arm in center and pop from the left side. Mather is versatile being able to play the corner infield and outfiled positions with some pop. Decent deal.

I am probably misremembering some of these deals, but I dealt:

Rangers Receive
Jake Peavy

Padres Receive
Neftali Feliz
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Jose Vallejo

and

Cardinals Receive
Chris Young
Heath Bell

Padres Receive
Colby Rasmus
Jonathan Jay



As I look back, the second one was a little questionable. I cheated I guess, but Jay did not climb the ranks quick enough-- had too many guys in front of him-- and now he is up at 26 w/ no room. Rasmus has been o.k.

Neftali has been slightly disappointing, Salty has filled a need and Vallejo is not a bad backup.

Really, the best moves I made (I guess this might be a spoiler so stop reading if you are worried-- Knight's rosters)




Signing Homer Bailey for 800k, and rule 5'n that dude Rohrbaugh (who I imagine a lot of us are familiar with in year two).

I am in 2012, and am about to unload Adrian Gonzalez and Kouz to complete the overhaul. After that, no one will be left from the 09 Padres.

I traded Wilie Taveras and Michael Griffin for Buster Posey. He'll be my starting catcher for a long time after Ramon Hernandez is gone.

How is Theriot doing for you? He is horrible for me, Samardizja is so-so.

Not bad but Peavy said he would never play in texas.

Yankees receive:
Hanley Ramirez
Taylor Tankersley

Marlins Receive:
A-Rod
Damaso Marte
Xavier Nady

I know this trade would never happen because no one will take on A-Rod's contract and only a crazy GM (in my opinion) would send Hanley Ramirez away (the only person I would ever possibly trade for amirez if I were a real life GM is Pujols, but even then I still think I would take Ramirez. Can't go wrong with a guy who is a 30/30 .300 hitter with a possibilty of being a 40/40 guy). Anyway The Marlins were all about the deal and I think it was pretty fair. They got a quality outfielder, A-Roid, and a good lefty for the bullpen. I changed A-Rod to a SS for them and he had a good career on the Marlins.

If anyone is wondering why I would trade A-Rod, I hate him. Never have liked him in his entire career. I have been following Hanley Ramirez since he was drafted and liek the way he plays. I moved him to 3rd base on the Yankees and he wore number 12. He batted 3rd in front of Texiera. Hit .335 with 34 HR's 115 RBI's 136 R his first year (and 56 SB's). Texiera ended up hitting .315 with 38 HR's 144 RBI. So it was definitely a good 1-2 punch in the 3-4 hole
