No desire to work today, so I thought I would compile all of the trades I've made since joining the BCMBL to see how I've done. Feel free to weigh in on some of these.
07/25/2008
Angels trade Mike Gonzalez and Jarrod Washburn
Athletics trade Vernon Wells and Blake Johnson
Essentially Gonzalez for Wells with both at the tail end of their career.
01/12/2009
Angels trade 5th round pick (Koji Uehara)
Red Sox trade Luis Jimenez
Uehara ends up being a great 5th round pick with near immediate use. Jimenez putting up solid numbers in 2011 in AA after missing all of 2009..
01/16/2009
Angels trade Carlos Gonzalez and Chin-lung Hu
Padres trade Mike Cameron, Hayden Penn and Dennis Raben
Ouch - Gonzalez becomes non bust after going to Colorado. Raben putting up big numbers in 2011 in A after missing all of 2009.
05/21/2009
Angels trade Chad Qualls
Red Sox trade Koji Uehara, Ron Villone and Bryan Price
05/21/2009
Angels trade Scott Rolen, Emmanuel Burris
Rangers trade Chase Headley and Kenshin Kawakami
Didn't lead to playoffs but got much younger at the corner and got what was supposed to be a serviceable pitcher who didn't pan out for me
07/29/2009
Angels trade Marc Rzepczynski and Eric Hosmer
Rockers trade AJ Burnett
Paying the future to try and bulk up rotation for playoff push. Rzepczynski was a FA pickup weeks earlier. Long term Rockies should win out on this one.
08/23/2009
Angels trade 1st round pick (Alex White)
Yankees trade Aubrey Huff and 2nd round pick (Kentrail Davis)
Huff has been solid for the Angels since this trade and had a resurgence in real life in 2010, but seems to have redied in 2011.
08/23/2009
Angels trade Taylor Teagarden and 2nd round pick (Nick Franklin)
Indians trade Aaron Rowand
12/04/2009
Angels trade Vernon Wells, Chase Headley and Bryan Price
Diamondbacks trade Alberto Callaspo and Brett Gardner
Loved this trade at the time.
02/05/2010
Angels trade Clay Buchholz and Dan Schlereth
Cardinals trade Dexter Fowler, Jenrry Mejia, Kelly Johnson and Aaron Cunningham
I still think I got a slightly better on this deal, and long-term could end up a steal if Fowler can ever hit with average. Really looked like a steal with Kelly Johnson's 2010 but he seems to have fallen apart this year as well. I'll always be watching the Buchholz/Mejia comparison in the future. Thinking Fowler would play LF for me caused me to make the next trade which is EPIC FAIL.
02/05/2010
Angels trade Clint Barmes and Brett Gardner
Padres trade Carl Webster and Miguel Gonzalez
Brett Gardner in LF would be great for me right now. Padres 2, Angels 0.
02/05/2010
Angels trade Mike Cameron
Red Sox trade Kelvin DeLeon, Trevor May, Brandon League and Carlos Ruiz
04/01/2010
Angels trade Kentrail Davis, Kelvin DeLeon, Carl Webster
Blue Jays trade Melvin Mora, Brad Lidge
Lidge ends up with awesome 2010 but horrible 2009 detrimental to his zips.
07/31/2010
Angels trade AJ Burnett, Kenshin Kawakami, CJ Rethorford, Joe Nelson and Carlos Delgado (last 3 were cuts)
Red Sox trade Mike Montgomery, Travis Wood, Chris Johnson, Chase D'Arnaud, Adam LaRoche, 1st round pick (Adeiny Hechavarria), 3rd round pick (Cameron Bedrosian)
Added rotation youth after throwing in the towel. Looks like D'Arnaud might actually be better than Johnson despite Johnson's 2010 MLB numbers. Travis Wood pitching great for me this year and looked like a solid #2 until his real life numbers this year.
09/01/2010
Angels trade Kosuke Fukudome and 2nd round pick (Aaron Sanchez)
Rays trade Jonny Gomes
Once again trying to fill LF. Gomes has sucked this year in real life though.
12/15/2010
Angels trade 3.12 (Noah Syndergoard)
Blue Jays trade Doug Slaten and 4.7 (Marcus Littlewood)
05/09/2011
Angels trade Trevor May and Michael Montgomery
Blue Jays trade Carlos Pena and Carl Pavano
Paying future for 2011 playoff shot. Really wanted to send 2 minor league pitchers instead of Montgomery since he was key in my rotation for this year. Long term this one should be a slam dunk for the Blue Jays.
05/14/2011
Angels trade Adeiny Hechavarria
Blue Jays trade Ramon Hernandez
I had picked up Jose Molina as all my catchers were DL'd or released at this point
05/20/2011
Angels trade Brandon League
Padres trade Josh Tomlin
League didn't sim consistently good for me, even with a good zip so this was a build for next years rotation. Tomlin has had some rough starts since this trade but still has a 1.05 whip for the year and should get a good sim next year.
08/05/2011
Angels trade 1st round pick (1.23 Kolton Wong), Adam LaRoche and Anthony Vasquez
Yankees trade Ryan Ludwick and Chipper Jones
Ludwick fills the hole in LF since apparently Jonny Gomes cannot replace nor hold Charlie Blackmon's jock. Chipper gives an extra bat off the bench or improves 3B defense over Aubrey Huff. All cards in on this playoff chase with aging veterans.
08/13/2011
Angels trade 3rd round pick (3.23 Kyle Smith)
Mets trade Doug Davis
Picked up Davis to have an extra starter for rest of year in case of injury. Won his only start (replacing DL'd Hamels) and was cut during the off season.
Year-end 2011 trades work out well as Angel's get within 1 game of the World Series.
Move to Cincinnati during the offseason
12/13/2011
Reds trade Aubrey Huff
Yankees trade 3.21 (Madison Boer)
Huff becomes expendable with move to National League.
02/11/2012
Reds trade Chipper Jones
Orioles trade Tommy La Stella
Pick up B- prospect for Chipper who had announced his plan to retire after the 2012 season.
08/08/2012
Reds trade Cole Hamels and Rafael Betancourt
Rangers trade Yoenis Cespedes, Chris Carter, Manny Buneulos, 1st round pick and 3rd round pick
Shored up the OF (Cespedes, Fowler, Werth), and added 2 top prospects (Buneulos B, Carter C+) for the final decimation of my rotation. Betancourt at 37 can't continue forever can he?
08/15/2012
Reds trade Carlos Pena
Orioles trade Anthony Bass and 3rd round pick
Pena continues to have an average below the Mendoza line and became expendable with the acquisition of Chris Carter. Bass will be looking for a spot in the 2013 rotation.
08/18/2012
Reds trade Alberto Callaspo
Orioles trade SF Giants 3rd round pick
Callaspo always simmed great for me, but poor real life performance in 2012 make it easier to let him go.
07/25/2008
Angels trade Mike Gonzalez and Jarrod Washburn
Athletics trade Vernon Wells and Blake Johnson
Essentially Gonzalez for Wells with both at the tail end of their career.
