Cam Up Green Down

Cam up again

Green down

[Reveille1984]

Kind of feel bad for Green.  Has done nothing but produce when called upon and still can't hold a roster spot. 

[Broad Street]

I expected a move after yesterday. No biggie.

[mtangelsfan]

Feel badly for Green but not much else to do here with using the pen so much yesterday.

[Richard]

Okay with this with Weaver going down and Santiago needed in the rotation. Hopefully Bedrosian has better success this call up and Green can get some much needed playing time.

[hats4bats]

But why? I get that Green was rotting on the bench but our pen has been doing pretty good. He could potentially take innings away from a reliever that is doing well. 

[red321]

johnny bullpen was used yesterday and now Santiago goes back in to the rotation Thursday and Shoemaker needs at least 3 days rest and probably held out in case Weaver can't go. Basically the team needed another bullpen arm just in case.

[Stradling]

So this is what it feels like when everyone on the team is playing well and you have to send a quality player down, I like it.

[stormngt]

With Freese playing well there really wasn't anywhere to play?

Kind of feel bad for Green. Has done nothing but produce when called upon and still can't hold a roster spot.

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, I think this is just to give the pen another fresh arm.

[NachoPop]

Kinds of expected this after they started Macdonald twice over him

[tomsred]

I don't understand why people get upset over these roster moves.  This is part of the everyday life of a baseball team.  The team doesn't end with the 25 who are up here.  The real team is about 40 players deep, and some of it is fluid, i.e. it changes depending on the circumstances that the major league team finds itself in.  We've used 45 different players so far this year, they have all had some impact positively and/or negatively.  It takes about that many to win a championship.

It's probably just because of them having had to use the pen some yesterday.

 

I'm sure he would rather be up with the big league team but he's basically wasting away currently and he would be better off playing everyday.   Green has had all of 13 at bats since June 6th and posted a .297 OPS over that span.  I'm not saying those numbers mean he sucks, Im saying those numbers probably suck because he isn't playing.

 

I wouldn't be shocked to see him be back up after the all star break.

[T.G.]

Maybe Green needs some PT so that other teams can scout him as a potential trade chip.

[Reveille1984]

Yeah, I'm not really complaining about it.  Just sucks for him.  Butttt waddayagannado.

[disarcina]

IMO -- this is a temporary move to get through the weekend..........Green back up after the ASG break -- also -  it is common (or used to be ) to send younger players down during the ASG break so they could get every day / starting line up playing time..........so that's part of this as well.

Yeah, perhaps Green, Bedrosian, and another for Street?  One can hope.

[Stradling]

I would not give up Green and Bedrosian for Street.

[DMVol]

I would not give up Green and Bedrosian for Street.

I'd have to think about that one....Street is just 31 and has an option for 2015....

[maximus p]

I would not give up Green and Bedrosian for Street.

Yeah, Green and Bedrock wouldn't get it done anyway, another would have to be included.

But Green (who is blocked and pretty much unproven, though with upside offensively) and Bedrosian (who maybe a closer in the future) and another fringy guy, could get the final piece for the bullpen.

[Stradling]

If trade those two in a package to get Hamel

[maximus p]

Imagine if you could give Mike (Roles) Scioscia another Donnely/Shields/Percival type of bullpen for the 7-8-9 innings.

Jepsen/Smith/Street could be that reincarnation, especially it would work well for our young starters in the playoffs (Skaggs/Richards) and even for Wilson and Weaver.  To get THAT bullpen for Green (not really gonna do much for the Angels anyway), Bedrosian (they may regret moving him, eventually) and one other minor league guy, you have to do it, IMO.

Way too much. Bedrosian will be our closer in 2 years.

[ELEVEN]

I'd give up Green and Navarro. Both are blocked here, and SD needs bats that can play right away.

You did it again....
