Power Pros Forum

I want to try out another season mode with the Mariners. Agents are available if you want to be one, I already have the lineup, roles, and strategy set up... I want to know who I should trade, so I'll make a trading block.

Trading Block

Willie Bloomquist
Jamie Burke
Great Baker
Mike Morse
Richie Sexson

If you guys have any suggestions on who I should trade, feel free to suggest who I should trade for.

Agents
BaseballTeen- Morse and King Felix
PowerPros27- Vidro and Wilkerson
AgentP-Dickey and Cocoran (Poor Roy is playing minor league ball now )

Don't trade away Mike Morse! He's a future star, as you see now.

How long will it take to build his power though? In the game it's at an F... Should I just alternate him and Vidro at DH? Or just use him as a utility guy?

I think you should buy a power slugging bat and devote your time to developing Mike Morse, that or you could edit it to a D or C and then develop him

Hmm... Power bat it is then!

I should have posted the stats of the players on the block!

Great Baker-F's and E's everywhere except for a D in arm strength, I don't think he will be much even with training.
Carlos Silva- B Control A Stamina 95 MPH... I'm concerned about the three red abilities he has (Those being fat pitch, choke artist, and fastball life 2).
Richie Sexson- D contact C power E's in run speed and arm strength, and C fielding and A error resistance. He is an aged slugger who is on the decline.

After the suggestion from zero I will keep morse, I am also keeping bloomquist as well.

I'll take Morse and The King

Trade news!

In preseason trade news the Mariners have sent a trade request to Minnesota, offering slugger Richie Sexson to the Twins for veteran catcher Mike Redmond... None of the clubs would comment further on the trade as it is pending. In other team news the Mariners recently signed free agent Dan Johnson to be the replacement for Sexson if a trade should go through.

Baker is Jeff Clement, or Jeremy Reed? I'd say keep him and develop him if he's catcher so he could possibly take Redmond's place.

And who to trade for.. hmm, if it was me I'd try to get the top young players/prospects but that would probably be cheating.

Trade away Carlos Silva for Troy Tulowitzki. As for agents, Jose Vidro and Brad Wilkerson please.

I forget. Did this game come out after Silva's salary went astronomical? If so, deal him before the red abilities start affecting his stats.

As a frequent user of the Mariners, might I suggest trading Miguel Batista & Kenji Johjima for Zach Duke, Ronny Paulino and cash.

Yes, this is after Silva had that one good year with minnesota in 06... He is somewhere with the cubs now? I think

Trade news!

The M's have gone for two more players, they are in talk of sending Kenji Jojhima and Miguel Batista to the Pirates for Zach Duke and Ronny Paulino... The mariners have given cash considerations and experts agree it will go through. No further comments are being said otherwise.

Don't give cash - GET cash. MLBPP's trade system is inverted. For whatever reason, if you are trading away the more expensive players, you can also receive the equivalent difference in cash. So if Batista/Johjima = 10,000 salary and Duke/Paulino = 1000 salary, you should be able to get Duke/Paulino/9,000 for a net gain of Duke/Paulino/18,000.

Okay, joh's and batista's salary combine is 14500 and duke and paulino are 810, how much cash should I ask back?
