I don't think it would be straight up. It's a possibility though depending on how theyre doing.

Need a trade tip fellas.

EDIT:I said June 12, it's actually May 12 in my Rockies 'chise, and I get the following trade request from the Braves:

Rockies get: C Evan Gattis
Braves get: RP Wilton Lopez

Gattis: 67 AB, .269/.338/.463, 3 HR, 10 RBI

Lopez: 15.0 IP, 1-0, 1.20 ERA, 6 HLD, 12 K, 2 BB, 1.00 WHIP.

Beachy is out until mid-late June with a back injury, Venters out for the year with a torn rotator cuff, and Christian Martinez out for 2+ months with a torn labrum.

Thoughts?

2 months in with Astros around .500. Looking to get montero and a strong arm RP from mariners. They are in last place. What pieces should I throw at them?

I could see how they need pitching, but with the Rockies depth at the catcher position, now sure how much Gattis helps you, unless you are thinking RF or maybe 1B.

To me it's fair because they need a arm thus should be willing to possibly overpay and it's not like Gattis is tearing it up.

I just traded Montero in my Franchise to the Tigers for Holaday (B pot) catcher and Tyler Collins a 22 yr old AAA OF (with B potential).

I think 2 B prospects for Montero is pretty fair, because he still does have value to teams with even worse catching options then the M's or as a DH.

As far as what RP you are looking for, I personally don't see the M's giving up Pryor or Capps, who seem to be the 2 RP that everyone wants and if those were your hopefull targets they are going to command a lot, both have future closer written on them.


Also something to keep in mind if you are going for realism, is it's not very often that teams trade within the division. So that's something else to consider. It does happen obviously because the M' dealt C. Lee to the Rangers but they also were out of it and got what they thought were some pretty nice pieces in Beavan and Smoak out of the deal.

I am thinking Rajai Davis-Toronto (75 C) but currently his speed doesn't seem to get used by the Bluejays in the game (batting .203 with 6 SB's in 64 MLB AB's). I was thinking maybe Coco Crisp (.242 28 SB's) (87 B), but typically don't see much inter division trading especially with all Oakland still in the hunt with my M's for the AL West Title. C Gentry (78 C) was another thought but same reasoning as Crisp. and the last person I am across was Eric Young JR (80 B). (.281 with 9 SB's in 121 AB's) Colorado currently has him playing 2B? Do any of you have any other thoughts. Also if I go Davis or Young what are good trade options. For Davis I was thinking of either a young SS I have in Single A (Jose Munoz 64 C rated but only 19) or OF Trey Martin (65 C rated batting .357 in 8 AB's in AA) or both. For Young, not sure maybe a SP like 19 yr Edwin Diaz (62 B) and Munoz or Martin, or SP A. Fernandez (73 C). Or do you think the Rockies would want a more MLB ready SP like E. Ramirez or maybe J. Paxton (77 B). To much??

What about Nolan Riemold of the Baltimore Orioles. He's a right handed hitting outfielder...

Rosario is entrenched as the starter. He's hitting .282, with 8 HR, and 5th in the NL with 27 RBI.

Torrealba has been awful offensively. I'v been using him strictly for his defense. He's hitting .154 in limited playing time.

I will have to look at his speed ratings. Not sure he is really a leadoff type guy, but thanks for taking the time to give me another option to think about.
