Title: Trade - Blue Jays/Brewers
Post by: ThePetis on March 25, 2015, 05:14:06 PM
:MIL: Receives:
2B Omar Infante ($4M - 2015)
Remainder of my draft picks (Round 16 forward, including :TB: 20th round pick)

for

:TOR2: Receives:
SS Freddy Galvis ($500K - 2016)

:TOR2: make this deal to cut some cap.  Galvis should be a suitable replacement for Infante, I save $3.5M and gain an extra year of control.  I was behind in the draft prep, making it easier to just get rid of the picks.  I have a fairly deep system, so feel I can withstand the loss of the picks.

:MIL: to confirm.

Brewers confirm:

Galvis is a favorite of mine, especially at 25yrs old and probably going to be the almost everyday SS, but from a fantasy standpoint I do feel like he has a certain ceiling and I'm looking to restock a farm system that still has a ton of dead weight in it.  Not to say that late round picks are going to accomplish this, but it's a start.  Playing a numbers game looking for the proverbial diamond or two in the rough; and Infante will provide me some affordable depth for this season's playoff run.

Thanks,

The picks are worthless considering about 1% of players picked in those rounds play a day in the majors.

ok.  lets stick to facts and leave the opinion ("the picks are worthless") out of it.

piazza -62nd round
keith Hernandez - 42nd round
buehrle - 38th round
Kenny rogers - 39th round
smoltz - 22nd round
sandberg  - 20th round
pettitte - 22nd round
Orlando Hudson - 43rd round
pujols - 13th round
Kenny lofton - 17th round
jeff conine -58th round!
oswalt - 23rd round
Russell martin - 17th round
uggla - 11th round
mike Lowell - 20th round
Eckstein - 19th round
barmes 10th round
mike bordick - UNDRAFTED!
Jason bay - 22nd round
nate mclouth - 25th round
ryan church - 14th round

those are facts.

that's just to name a few.  I could go on.  there were people who questioned why I traded for josh Harrison before last season, basically calling him worthless as well.  I think that turned out ok for me.  that, of course, would be an opinion.    :toth:

thanks,

Even if you consider the picks to be worthless, how is the deal unfair? 

:MIL: gets the better player, albeit at a higher salary.  I get salary relief and take a chance on a younger, cheaper player who has never been able to hold down a job.

The picks are worthless, but the players are pretty much even, so not a big deal.

Yeah, picks aside the player swap is decent enough not to warrant veto IMO

It's not my opinion, it's a fact.  Trading actual MLB players for worthless draft picks is a bad precedent for this type of league.

Each team traded an MLB player; the picks are just frosting on the cake.
