Thatcher to Angels

[wopphil]

I am ok with this trade, but I actually think dipoto gave up way too much. Borenstein or kriehble(?) alone should have got this done.

[DMVol]

Actually DVol my post was in reply to the Angels sending one of Yarbrough or Lyndsey the other way. I'm ok with this deal. Depending on the needs of SD we could still get Street.

Thought the kid pitcher was highly regarded but maybe not (not a prospect guru)....

He's just a guy at this point.  I think he was in the mid 30s on the AngelsWin top 50 list, and he didn't make the top 30 for Monkey With a Halo.

Hatcher is back

LOL at the "Captain Obvious" comment from yahoo.com article:

 

Tony Campana is joining the Angels, where he figures to not displace Mike Trout.

That's awesome.

Interesting

Angels/Dbacks trade looks like a small salary dump for AZ. Players coming back are up-and-down guys, maybe not even.

[Chimi]

But he just figures he won't displace him, he hasn't confirmed that apparently

Who is happier right now?  Toby, or Scotty?

Are you saying we are all anti-Semites?

[rageous]

Pretty good trade for the Angels since they didnt give up much.

Why do we only hear about anti-Semites, and never about pro-Semites?

Yeah

 

No clue who Krehbiel is, looks like a RP prospect who is in High-A. Borenstein had no future here with this OF set. I'll take the big league bullpen help

 

Still hoping for one more bullpen move, though I'm not sure if we'll see one

 

Smith

Grilli

Morin

Jepsen

Thatcher

Rasmus or Salas with Bedrosian/RJ Alvarez as options as well

 

if they did land somebody like Street or Benoit, this bullpen would be ridiculous

I don't know if i would call it ridiculous but it would be solid

What about the anti-dentites?

[bloodbrother]

After the rumors last night, it's great to know that this team still has JEPPY

[Lou]

I loved the panic over Cowgill.

How was he even involved in the discussion?

[seenoevil]

if Angel fans panicked about Bourjos, they would be able to  panic over anything

[Dreams]

Thatcher enters free agency after this season.   Hopefully Jerry can resign him.

anyone feel an earthquake?

At the start of the season if you'd told me I'd be agreeing with this statement, I'd have called you crazy.

 

I agree with you.

yep

Scioscia didn't sleep much last night after seeing this thread on AW.

I am in Palm Springs, and a few minutes ago I thought for sure I felt one.
