Ian Stewart and Ibanez

[Make Angels Great Again]

Yeah...I get what you're getting at, but "slightly worse John McDonald" is way offf the mark.

Not really, actually.

Hey now, the way I see it Raul only has a few holes in his game:

 

- Awful, awful defender at any position you could possibly want him to play for some reason

- Slow as shit

- Can't hit for average

- Can't get on base

- Doesn't have any power left

 

But other than that he's great.

 

You must not watch the games, he is not slow, he is surprisingly fast for an old guy.

He's faster than you would expect him to be for his age and whatnot, I'll give you that, but he's still pretty slow.

We had Grienke for two months. Segura was an all star for three months. That alone gives the victory to Brewers.

Not when you consider that the angels were pushing for the playoffs.

Any trade that involves three of your top 10 prospects for a rental is a terrible trade.

Honestly I think he is pretty fast, that or a really instinctual baserunner.  He has really impressed me with his speed on the bases.

Be realistic, these guys were hardly gonna crack any kind of top 100 list. Maybe segura was able to sneak in one, I don't know I didn't look, but that's it.

You still need depth.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I'll gladly trade some meh depth for a top tier pitcher when your in the race down the stretch.

Yeah, Segura was actually on a few:

 

Pre-2011:

Baseball America's #57

BaseballProspectus's #35

 

Pre-2012:

Baseball America's #55

MLB.com's #55

BaseballProspectus's #67

For 2.5 months of a player when you aren't guaranteed a playoff spot?
