   Red Sox acquire Jake Peavy

   3 team deal with BOS/DET/CHW Boston gets Jake Peavy and Brayan Villareal Chicago gets Avisail Garcia and 3 prospects who I don't know a thing about, but aren't any of Boston's premiere prospects Tigers get Jose Iglesias Boston's GM is quickly putting his name in the mix for top GM's. They successfully sold high on Jose Iglesias, who, while fantastic with the glove, is noted to be pretty damn poor with the bat. He got off to an insane start but he is not a good hitter. Sold him to a team who bought into his .330 BA and used him as the main piece to get a good pitcher. Add in they got a RP who has serious stuff in Villareal

   I have said a lot of bad things about you the last couple days. But if you can gut this team of the likes of Aybar, Blanton, Vargas, Callaspo and Howie for some good prospects and major league ready young arms etc. I will take it all back. Rebuild this team from within and get some young fresh guys here instead of the old crap we have now.

   Howie Trade Idea

   July 31, 2013 by OCangel

   • 4 replies
   • 820 views

   In the wake of the Callaspo/Green trade, I've been thinking of follow up trades the Angels can make to continue the rebuilding process. One idea I thought of was a Howie Kendrick to the Cardinals trade. The Cardinals are a serious contender who need some work up the middle. I thought a Howie for Matt Adams trade is quite a possibility. The Cardinals would then move Matt Carpenter to 3rd base to make room for Howie and possibly sit or platoon Freese who has struggled mightily this season. Now this trade would give the Angels a surplus of 1st Base/DH type players. Personally, I think Matt Adams has more potential than Trumbo and is 3 years younger which makes T…

    Tonight is exactly how this year has gone Our 5th and 6th hitters choke when we need them most An error leads to a big run Our bullpen blows it We have a VERY EASY scoring opportunity and we blow it Trout does everything right We need to trade people and not focus and names. We need to focus on good defense, a good bullpen and guys who hit with RISP. Those are the 3 most important things in baseball. Those things win games. This team is embarrassing.

    By Jason Sinner, AngelsWin.com Contributor - I keep seeing tons of internet chatter from Angels fans about selling off the teams spare parts to make them better......eventually. Yet a bad loss tonight and many are still pissed even with little doubt about the outcome of this season. On top of that, we traded a 38yo middle relief lefty specialist about to become a FA with half less than half a season left on his somewhat expensive contract (for his ability) and got market value which wasn't much yet we somehow should have parlayed him into a #3 starter for 2016. It's hard to imagine how many will react when we are left with Trout, Weaver, Wilson, Pujols, Hamilton…

    He became the oldest person to hit a walk off home run in mlb history. I was more impressed by his quotes as it reminds me of what the angels are not at the moment. "I'm a little old to be dunked with water. I love it. I've been preaching all year one guy is not more important than another and it's going to take all 25 of us, even more than that, to win ballgames and we've done it all year. It's just exciting to be a part of it." "That's what keeps you coming back," Giambi said. "There's no moment more special than when you get that embrace from your teammates and all those smiles. It's exciting." "I love how we're growing and that's what I keep telling …

    This is one of those things that I've been thinking about lately. You look at the playoff teams right now. Division Leaders Dodgers #2 Detroit #5 Cardinals #10 Braves #16 Oakland #27 Rays #28 Those .5 back. Boston #4 Baltimore #15 Pirates #20 Would Billy Beane be a better GM, if he had an unlimited or Max budget? I really don't think he would be. He works and stretches what he has, and knows when to sell to quickly rebuild. I think back to all the trades that people are bitching about that we made. And every single one of them had one purpose. To spend whatever it took to make the playoffs. And this philosophy goes all the way to the h…

    Sickels on the Downs-Rasmus trade

    July 30, 2013 by Angelsjunky

    • 11 replies
    • 885 views

    Read all about it. I like Sickels because he nicely balances scouting with sabermetrics and seems to have no clear agendas or biases. He likes the trade for both teams and gives a bit more about Rasmus' past. Evidently he missed quite a bit of time due to injury, which is why he's still in AAA at 26, and then couldn't maintain starting without further injury, which is why he is a reliever. Anyhow, I feel a bit more intrigued by Rasmus now. Relievers often peak a bit later anyhow, so 26 isn't exactly old. I don't quite see him being a major league closer but he could be a good, even very good, middle reliever, as soon as next year. My view of the trade went from "very …
