2008 IAL TRADE ANALYSIS

 

THUNDERCHICKENS get Ray Durham

GAMBLERS get Juan Uribe

ANALYSIS This was a trade to help teams with coverage, no advantage.

CHAMPIONS get Chad Patrick Cordero

GAMBLERS get Shane Patrick Victorino

ANALYSIS Even though in real life Cordero’s a closer, he’s only a B*Y in APBA. Even though in real life Victorino’s a smurf, he’s a great defensive outfielder, with leadoff man skills in APBA. Advantage Gamblers.

MARAUDERS get Tim Hudson

HIGHLANDERS get Justin Upton

ANALYSIS Future for present, still anytime you can get 200 B innings for a prospect, even a superstar prospect, advantage Marauders.

HIGHLANDERS get Miguel Montero

SLUGGERS get Ronnie Belliard

ANALYSIS You’d think a draft pick would be worth more than Belliard, but you’d be wrong. Advantage Sluggers.

BOMBERS get Roberto Hernandez

HITMEN get Jose Valentin

ANALYSIS This was a trade to help teams with coverage, no advantage.

MARAUDERS get Huston Street

THUNDERCHICKENS get Ryan Zimmerman

ANALYSIS A quality closer for a quality thirdbaseman. In this draft three quality thirdbaseman weren’t taken, while journeyman graded relievers were. Things that make you go hmmm, advantage Marauders.

BOMBERS get Jorge Julio

CHAMPIONS get Jim Edmonds

ANALYSIS This was a trade to help teams with coverage, yet Edmonds is going to be so bad in SD, while Julio has a chance to be good with the Tribe, advantage Bombers.

SLUGGERS get Robinson Cano & Jarod Washburn

BAMM-BEANOS get Jeremy Bonderman & Dan Uggla

ANALYSIS Even if Bonderman only pitched like he does in the first half of the year, it wouldn’t make up for giving away Cano, advantage Sluggers.

CHAMPIONS get Alex Gonzalez, Jeremy Sowers, & Juan Rincon

BAMM-BEANOS get Josh Barfield, Boof Bonser, & Alex Cintron

ANALYSIS Sowers, Barfield, & Cintron are bums. Alex Gonzalez provides some pop off the Champs bench and Rincon adds some depth to the pen, while Bonser may bounce back from a sophomore slump. No advantage.

GAMBLERS Dustin Pedroia & Miguel Cairo

BAMM-BEANOS Jonathan Papelbon & Alex Gordon

ANALYSIS Best closer in baseball and a better player in Gordon over Pedroia, Cairo doesn’t quite make up for the difference, advantage Bamm-Beanos.

CHAMPIONS get Nick Swisher, Josh Barfield, & Boof Bonser

BAMM-BEANOS get Matt Kemp, Jim Edmonds, & Jeremy Sowers

ANALYSIS The upside of Bonser is not enough to offset Kemp over Swisher, the other three guys are bums, advantage Bamm-Beanos. Don’t play the slight of hand trick with Magician the Fabulous Brando.

BOMBERS get Hank Blalock

HITMEN get Omar Vizquel

ANALYSIS Blalock can hit off the bench, Vizquel can’t, even though Chuck’s happy with the deal, advantage Bombers.

CHAMPIONS get Jose Guillen

BOMBERS get Juan Rincon

ANALYSIS One juicer for another. Still Guillen can hit pretty well off the bench, for a pitcher who can’t get anybody out, advantage Champions.

BAMM-BEANOS get Jonathan Broxton & Matt Garza

UPPERDECKERS get J.J. Hardy & Jarrod Saltalamacchia

ANALYSIS Two hard throwers for a SS and a suspect, advantage Bamm-Beanos.

UPPERDECKERS get Jose Contreras

MARAUDERS get Rafael Furcal

ANALYSIS Furcal is way better than Contreras, but somehow we all saw it coming, the Cuban was going to be soon on his way to Papa Bunch, advantage Marauders.

BOMBERS get Jose Contreras

UPPERDECKERS get Juan Rincon

ANALYSIS Did you ever see a trade that was too insignificant to even comment on? No advantage, but we all saw it coming.

BOMBERS get Brendan Harris

SLUGGERS get Damaso Marte

ANALYSIS Now I hate both Nick & Papa Bunchie! I had no idea Nick traded Mike the pick he used to draft Harris, that after not dealing Belliard to me. Sheesh, I thought Nick just gave me a ride to the convention. No advantage.

THUNDERCHICKENS get Austin Kearns

HITMEN get Kenny Lofton

ANALYSIS Although Kearns does walk, hit for power, and field better than Lofton, Kenny was just the leadoff man the doctor ordered for the Hitmen. No advantage.

THUNDERCKENS get Kyle Kendrick & Felix Pie

HIGHLANDERS get Stephen Drew & Andrew Miller

ANALYSIS Drew looks to be coming into his own and Miller is an outstanding lefty, even if Pie is the real deal, this was a steal, advantage Highlanders.

THUNDERCHICKENS get Dustin McGowan & Scott Podesednik

SLUGGERS get Austin Kearns & Carlos Silva

ANALYSIS Interesting deal, no advantage.

BOMBERS get Jarrod Saltalamacchia & Juan Rincon

UPPERDECKERS Joel Zumaya & Asdrubal Cabrera

ANALYSIS Don’t be too hard on your kids when they’re young, cuz they’ll turn the tables on you when you’re old & senile. Big advantage Upperdeckers!

BAMM-BEANOS get Brad Lidge

MARAUDERS get Yunel Escobar

ANALYSIS I like what John’s done with his pen, rotation, and lineup. Don’t know what DonS is doing hoarding shortstops, it’s like I’m missing something. No advantage.

BOMBERS get Eric Hinske

HITMEN get Jorge Julio

ANALYSIS Maybe Mike still thought Hinske was with the Upperdeckers and he was dealing with Marc, otherwise why would you trade the potential of Julio for the nothing of Hinske? Advantage Hitmen.

 

Now quick, without looking, what team did Juan Rincon start out on, how many times was he dealt this offseason, and where did he end up? I don’t know why anyone would think inseason trading would be confusing.

2009 IAL TRADE ANALYSIS

 

CHAMPIONS get Felipe Lopez

UPPERDECKERS get Vernon Wells

ANALYSIS Need sometimes creates desperation, V-Dub is WAY better than F-Lo. Big advantage Upperdeckers!

GAMBLERS get Scott Rolen

BAMM-BEANOS get Juan Uribe

ANALYSIS Rolen gives the Gamblers a regular at 3B and Brooks Uribe gives the Bamm-Beanos some flexibility as a utility infielder. This was a trade to help teams with coverage, no advantage.

CHAMPIONS get Ryan Doumit, Ian Stewart, & Bobby Crosby

HITMEN get A.J. Burnett, Hiroki Kuroda, & Boof Bonser

ANALYSIS Pitching for hitting, as simple as that. Doumit fills in for the injured Victor Martinez and Burnett gives the Hitmen a solid #3 starter. Doumit for Burnett would’ve been a fair trade, advantage Hitmen.

UPPERDECKERS get Jeff Keppinger

MARAUDERS get Ken Griffey, Jr.

ANALYSIS Junior’s closer to becoming a draft choice, advantage Marauders.

BOMBERS get Adam Dunn

GAMBLERS get Troy Glaus

ANALYSIS Dunn will eventually become the starting firstbaseman for the Bombers. Glaus is an upgrade over Rolen at 3B, any way to get Uribe back for Rolen? Even Steven.

MARAUDERS get James Loney

BOMBERS get Yunel Escobar

ANALYSIS DonS must’ve convinced Papa Bunch you can never have too many shortstops. Another fair trade.

KERNELS get Robb Quinlan

HIGHLANDERS get Julian Tavarez

ANALYSIS Thinking about this swap makes my head hurt, no talent here.

MARAUDERS get Geovany Soto

HIGHLANDERS get Felix Hernandez

ANALYSIS A good young pitcher for a good young catcher, no advantage.

MARAUDERS get Evan Longoria & Ramon Hernandez

THUNDERCHICKENS get Geovany Soto & Mark Hendrickson

ANALYSIS DonS should’ve stopped here, IMHO. The Marauders need young blood at the hot corner, can’t top Longoria! Nelly gets the man he wanted, wouldn’t it have been easier just to lose more games down the stretch? Marauders get the nod in this one.

MARAUDERS get Nick Blackburn

HIGHLANDERS get Rickie Weeks

ANALYSIS A young pitcher for a young secondbaseman, talent’s still up in the air, slight advantage to Marauders.

BOMBERS get Evan Longoria & Glen Perkins

MARAUDERS get Edinson Volquez & Johnny Cueto

ANALYSIS Johnny Cueto is that much better than Glen Perkins to once again give the advantage to the Marauders, despite the fact that Longoria is clearly the best player in the trade.

BOMBERS get Mike Jacobs

THUNDERCHICKENS get Eric Hinske

ANALYSIS The Manasha Mauler fits into the T*Chix lineup as a leadoff man and Jake will be the starting firstbaseman this year in Green Rock. This deal helps both clubs.

GAMBLERS get Omar Vizquel

HITMEN get Scott Rolen

ANALYSIS Gamblers should’ve hung on to Uribe. The Hitmen should’ve kept Omar and drafted Blake DeWitt. This trade is a bad one for both teams. It’s another coverage deal.
