Potential Trade Partner: SF Gigantes

[Broad Street]

The Giants just lost 1st baseman Brandon Belt to a broken thumb. Could they be a potential trade target? They could trade for Navarro and keep Morse in left, or they could trade for Cowgill and move Morse to first. What type of return could we possibly get? Especially for Cowgill since he's been great this year.

How about they take Pujols and the 200+ million he is still owed and we put Cron on 1b for the next 10 years....Just a thought....

No one is going to trade anything of value for Cowgill.  He's more important on this team than whatever he'd bring in a trade.  If the Angels make any trades, it needs to be for proven bullpen help and you're not going to get major league proven relievers for someone like Cowgill.

They would be crazy to trade pieces away in may especially when belt will be back

According to their depth chart.  They have MIchael Morse as their top 1B now, who has a .836 OPS this season and a career OPS of .809.  Also, second on their depth chart list is Posey.  Their current AAA catcher, Andrew Sussac, is on a tear with a .957 OPS.  

 

I don't see them making a trade.

Trade away a current. 300 hitter in Cowgill? I fail to see how that makes us a better team.

At this point, Cowgill is putting Kalhoun out of a job.

Anyone see the Gio Gonzalez situation over the weekend? I usual don't like players that get pissed at team mates, but I would welcome Gio to the Angels.

Navarro and Cowgill have little, if any, trade value.

I don't see the need for the Angels to make any trades right now. 

 

Let's see how Shoemaker does in the 5th spot after a few starts. If he looks good, we have Santiago in the BP and DDLR, Burnett, Alvarez/Bedrosian on the horizon. Things are looking up guys, we just gotta keep close (5 games out) by the time we get Hamilton/Calhoun back and our BP squared away.

Anyone see the Gio Gonzalez situation over the weekend? I usual don't like players that get pissed at team mates, but I would welcome Gio to the Angels.

I met Gio's dad a couple seasons ago on the Oakland trip as he stayed in the same hotel. He said that Oakland wouldn't pay Gio and he would eventually be dealt. He said that Gio would love to play for the Angels but there was no way that he would get traded to an A L West team. Gio would be a great addition today.

I don't think the giants are trading anyone, they have a pretty solid squad already
