Big splash?

[Homebrewer]

Head scratcher?

Head scratcher?

 

Yeah.  Even as minor league depth, why bother?  Seems completely random.

26 year old that hit .196/.238/.255 in 406 PAs in Double-A last year.

 

That's sure...something.

The Brewers have traded infielder Hector Gomez to the Angels for a player to be named, MLB Daily Dish's Justin Millar reports. Gomez, who recently turned 26, hit .196/.238/.255 in 406 plate appearances with Double-A Huntsville in 2013. He briefly appeared in the big leagues with Rockies in 2011.

It looks like minor league depth. I hope he's a great fielder.

[Homebrewer]

Lack of confidence in Green to handle SS much if the need arises... maybe.

Minor league fielding numbers don't always tell the full story, but for what it's worth, he makes a bunch of errors.  .948 career fldg % at SS:

For some reason, he was once a top 100 prospect.

Please send Blanton as the PTBNL

[Brent Maguire]

World Series or bust now. 

 

What are his odds at winning MVP?

[Homebrewer]

I wonder who's on the PTBNL list..

[Chuck]

Minor League depth move. I wouldn't read to much into this.

[mrwicked]

this IS the piece.

[Docwaukee]

they're probably assuming that they are going to lose either romine or mcdonald and the other will be with the big club.  not sure if field has options, but if not, he's probably gone as well.

With the Tigers losing their SS for the season, any chance the Angels try to trade Aybar to the Tigers for a pitcher?

That would be great, I would love to get one of their arms, but I don't think that will be the case.

[jshep]

Do the Tigers have the excess pitching to still do that?

I'm assuming he suggested it based on the rumor that Porcello might be available.

It was imperative that Dipoto acquire him; " Signed by the Colorado Rockies as an amateur free agent in 2004."

Also, if this guy has any sort of influence on the major league club at any point, this team has bigger things to worry about.

I'm more concerned with who the PTNL is...
