Haha

[Chuck]

Haha

 

I couldn't resist.

Whoever guessed Wells for Cayones and Sneed in the trade prediction thread won.

[vlad27]

well its nice that the deal is done Yanks are paying 14 milion not too bad

[Glen]

I'm genuinely excited to have somebody named Exicardo on the team, even if he is in the minors and isn't that good.  He should be a gladiator with a name like that.

 

Edit: getting Exicardo Cayones and Kramer Sneed is almost name overload for me.  It's beautiful, and the only thing that would make it more beautiful is hearing Jose Mota pronounce their names.  

[Jason]

Yeah it really didn't matter who they got for him.

[Glen]

After checking their stats, looks like an awesome name is all either of these guys has going for them.

[DB24]

Any info on them?

[jshep]

21 year old Venezuelan corner OF who played in A ball last year and hit .228/.374/.291 there

 

and a 24 year old LHP reliever who only pitched in A+ ball last year and had a 5.37 ERA with 40 walks and 49 strikeouts in 63.2 innings

 

Sounds about right.

[FabulousFabregas]

No Costanza?

[Mark68]

No Costanza?

PTBNL. So later that he's not even in the discussion yet.

[stevestevens]

Both these guys can be considered low level low ceiling talent guys. 

[Hubs]

Per Jim Bowden 

 

Cayones is likely headed to Cedar Rapids or maybe Inland Empire. Sneed will go to Inland Empire. 

 

Neither are high ceiling prospects, but they're not going to get a great prospect if they got the Yankees on the hook for nearly 14 million.

In before someone complains that we should have gotten a better return.

I'm going to be mildly disappointed if this isn't coming.

[bdavis621]

Good, time to start replenishing the farm system. Glad to see that we at least got something for Wells and that the Yankees paid 14 million of the salary.

[LBHalos17]

His parents spelled cojones wrong...

[Angel Oracle]

Kramer?

 

Let the Seinfeld jokes proceed!

 

Edit:  D_mn you FF!

MLB exec says it's "absolutely" a steal for the #Angels to get $13.9M worth of salary relief for Vernon Wells.

 

 

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, MLB exec.

[Angel Oracle]

Doesn't matter who is coming here, reducing what they owe Wells by 1/3 is epic!

 

$28 million isn't much more than they were on the hook for GMJHGH, when they dealt him for Stokes.

I was kinda hoping the Yankees would send Juan Rivera for the sheer irony.

[Angel Oracle]

They should have sent Ruben Rivera, so that he could steal Blantana's glove and keep him off the field.

Maybe Jose can do an interview with the new arrivals when they reach camp. Might as well get them acclimated to the Angel Way.

[ELEVEN]

Neither of these guys will still be in the Org a month from now.
