Those aren't very impressive prospects, in fact, one of them is kinda old with no development. Braun is just, awesome infinity.. and only 26 with a cheap contract. No, make this part of the new guys learning.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

I'll fess up here, I kind of helped out with the deal on Milwaukee's end. I don't think it's that bad really

[Kingdom]

That's all you settle on? Braun's barely older than those guys and he's a shit ton better.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

yeah but if they fill out they could be very nice. and Braun isn't as unstoppable as you make him out to be. His 6 avoid k's is a bit of a downside. I'm gonna stay out of voting on this one just because I did help piece it together, but I do think it's definitely passable

[Kingdom]

Flowers avoid k is 6. He's also like 2 years younger and nowhere near Braun's ratings. Viciedo has no speed or defense and just a pedestrian 7 contact, 7 gap.. really exciting there. Beckham would make a solid #2 in the order if he ever developes, but he has no power, defense and won't do much on the base paths.

By comparison, Braun, 26.. 8-9-10-7-5 out of 9-10-10-7-6. Makes only 6.2mill till 2016. Clearly this is a guy you so desperately want to dump.

Great help you are.

I am fine with it. I think it is our job to prevent horrible trades. This is not one of those IMO. Plus the catching spec is not too far off from realizing his full potential.

Fair enough

I dunno about this one...

I think it is also our job to protect new GMs from being ripped off. I don't know Mista Rights resume, but he is new to me. Braun is such a good player signed to such a good contract, that I don't think I could pass it even if Mission was GM of the Brewers. Well...maybe in that case. lol I just don't think the spects are very impressive... not for a player with ratings like Braun. Flowers is almost too old to even be considered a spect. His ratings are alright, but not great.

sorry guys, but i have to fail this one.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Crazy you may not have been here when i announced Mista Right's arrival, but he's my brother and has no prior experience

oh that's right, i was thinking he was still Atlanta. sorry bro, but i'm against a trade like this when there is a new GM involved especially.

[bwitty24]

would you approve it if he was not new?

[HollywoodLeo]

I don't think we should vary whether or not we approve a trade based on the relative experience of the participants.

If a new GM gets ripped off in a slightly unbalanced trade that's not so unblanced that it'd hurt the league then let him do it.

That's how you learn.

[CrazyEights]

would you approve it if he was not new?

I doubt it
