movietitan Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I've been trying for days now to trade for Pujols in my dynasty. If anybody knows how to get him, please let me know. I am currently the Orioles and have all my stars. I'd be willing to part with anyone. I still have all my hot prospects including Huston Street, Scott Kazmir, Al Reyes, Brandon League, and Kendry Morales. I don't have Rick Bauer, Bruce Chen, Eric DuBose, or John Maine anymore. If any of you figure out a way to trade for Pujols, please let me know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 ok, why not do this if you really want him. turn fair trades off but give them kasimir, street, and reyes or league. all 3 bro. viola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdugan Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 You're going to have to give up somebody real good. I was fooling around yesterday as was able to give them Tomko and Schmidt. I would do that in heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 You should just turn fair trades off and then trade whatever you feel is fair. The computer is usually too stubborn to deal with when it comes to dealing for a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Since when was Al Reyes a prospect? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitter Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 The PC seems to like 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deals. Try trading one of your top MLB guys and a AAA guy for Pujols. I had a terrible time trying to get Oliver Perez on my team, but I ended up trading a top notch pitcher, and a higly rated AAA player (think it was a pitcher too). The PC finally accepted the deal.

ticonderoga Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 maybe they want a above average 3rd basemen as part of the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvarr Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 maybe they want a above average 3rd basemen as part of the trade. Why would they want that with Rolen at 3rd? I would think including a prospect 1B would help the trade out some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickmarcusvick Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Trade Tejada in a package, or Sosa if you still have them, but if not jjust turn fair trades off, then do an ok trade so that it doesnt make the cardinals dramatically worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybernetic Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 yeah I found it impossible to get Jason Bay off the Pirates even though he only makes the major league minimum.. I offered them Shea Hillenbrand, Scott Schoenweis (who has an ERA just over 2 on the season) and Ted Lilly but they refused which is ridiculous. Although in real life I don't think they'd trade him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you trade your only start who is going to make 350k for the next couple years for overpriced mediocre players, especially when you have a small market team? I'd make you trade them Alex Rios, and that new pitcher with the glasses (name is getting away from me) and possibly a younger prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickmarcusvick Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Bay isn't their only star, Craig Wilson, Jose Mesa and Oliver Perez are also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd make you trade them Alex Rios, and that new pitcher with the glasses (name is getting away from me) and possibly a younger prospect. That may be true but I already traded Rios and Chacin (the guy with the glasses) is a very strong #2 in my dynasty so I didn't trade him. I've since traded Lilly to the Brewers. Bay isn't their only star, Craig Wilson, Jose Mesa and Oliver Perez are also very good. Yeah but my need was for a power-hitting right-handed hitting outfielder.

Brodieman Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yes but whereas Bay was the 2004 NL Rookie of the Year and is a great power hitter, Mesa is a struggling 40-year-old reliever. Kind of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Also another reason I wanted to get him was cuz he's Canadian and I'm Canadian and I think he's very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguininja Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Pretty much the only way to get Perez or Bay that I've seen is to take on Ty Wigginton as a salary dump, especially to equilize Lilly. I got Perez for my Jays dynasty by trading Lilly, AAA SP Justin Miller and AAA RF Gabe Gross for Perez, AAA SP Zach Duke, and Ty, who was automatically placed on my A team(he's not very good).

cybernetic Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 hmm.. so the reason they won't take him is cuz of the salary difference and not cuz they don't want to trade him? Duke has good AAA numbers.. what if I try to take Ian Snell instead of Duke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguininja Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 It'd probably still work, I just picked Duke out of preference. I think the key in the trade getting accepted was that I was taking on 100,000 more than the Pirates as a result of the trade, but I think Duke might've had a 500K salary. Either way, I think I got a pretty good deal, and I'm not terribly heartbroken over losing Gabe Gross. Keep trying to see what works, I had earlier variations with Matt Lawton involved (7.10 M), so maybe you can find something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Gross is doing well with the team in my dynasty as the RF.. he was platooning with Rios but Rios was only hitting .208 so I traded him with Lilly for Sheets. So I'm looking for a RH power OF to replace him and that way Gross can be the 4th wiht Podsednik being the 3rd.. and Gross can also play 1B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguininja Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I don't have a ton of experience playing as him, but Wily Mo Pena has similar attributes to Jason Bay, maybe he'd come at a cheaper price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 but Wily Mo is a CF and I need a RF/LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
