Trade value of future stud first basemen Topic

I have a future first basemen I think will be better than https://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=6010355

Couple points lower in power (maybe low 90s), but I project him to be better in every other rating. I also have another hitter that I think will be a stud who can only play first base. I suppose as a preliminary matter, that with defensive ratings in the 40s across the board, would anyone try and play a bat like this at another position?

Assuming not, what is a fair haul for a HOF bat like this (still in minors to be clear)?

it depends on a lot of factors. I'd say your best bet would be to hold onto him until one of the following time frames: before the season when teams are just figuring out what their ML rosters will look like (looking for somebody who doesn't think he'll compete this season, and will swap a "now stud" for a "future stud"), or middle of the season-through-the-trade deadline when guys who thought they'd contend realize they won't.

Find a "motivated seller" who has talent you want, and see if your guy is the best deal he can get.

That, or you can ask if anybody in your league is interested in a prospect-for-prospect swap where they get a stud 1B/DH.

Not apples to apples but I thought I'd get a future SP3/SP4 for Tracy. I couldn't. Tracy isn't as good as your guy but he's cheaper and younger.

Jeez, dude, I'm pretty sure you have an alias. I saw the post. Don't have kdfan35 apply for one of my worlds.

3/31/2016 12:54 PM
And it doesn't make any sense as I don't think you share worlds. Are you pulling a long-term con?

Lol. Not an alias. My roommate. We were once in one league together (brought them I tot heir first HBD Leage, which she had a shitfit about a trade veto and left). You checked this all out once upon a time already

But if you want to check it out again, the league we were both in was Jose can u c (now capb). After that we avoided playing the same leagues.
