Angels Acquire Huston Street

[JarsOfClay]

Did Dipoto get a mandate to win this season or else? I can't think of any other justification for this deal. We gave up less for Greinke in my opinion.

 

this trade feels more like jerry trying to put his name in the headlines for next year, and also trying to show up the a's...like he can do better or something.

 

the trade itself makes no sense whatsoever.

I WISH it were Jose Alvarez.....

 

LOL, what if it's been Jose Alvarez this whole time?

[SoWhat]

Please let it be Casey Kelly

I WISH it were Jose Alvarez.....

 

Even if it's R.J....who the hell cares about giving up a relief pitcher prospect...I know he's a good one but still a relief pitcher prospect...BFD

[101halo]

Just traded our future middle infield and future closer for 1.5 seasons of a closer. This is absolutely ****ing stupid. The prospect coming back better be damned good.

Well everyone besides Bowden is saying it's RJ, so I'm guessing Bowden mixed them up.

[bloodbrother]

Ross is only in A+ ball, so doesn't seem like that would be him.

 

He was just promoted to Double-A I believe

[tdawg87]

It will be some shitty reliever like Trevor Gott

[SigBaby]

LOL, what if it's been Jose Alvarez this whole time?

That would make this trade a ridiculous amount better

He's a really, really good relief pitcher prospect who would be under control for 6 seasons compared to 1.5 for Street. It's even worse when adding in all the other pieces they threw into the deal

[Angels]

The prospect the Angels are getting back better be good.

[Hollyw00d]

Stupid, stupid trade.

seriously what the ****. how did we just get owned by the padres?

Stop it, I'm trying to stay all enraged and shit. 

[Chimi]

Maybe the Padres are throwing in some ComicCon tickets as well.

Please be Renfroe.

I guess this means the team is pretty much set now.  Can't imagine them being able to put together a trade for anyone substantial with what's left on the farm.

[JarsOfClay]

Does Street also play C?

 

this.....we needed to upgrade c, not closer.  

 

closer's are so overrated and jerry bought into it....lame.

I wouldn't have dealt Jose Rondon for two months (plus an option) of Huston Street straight-up.

[jsnpritchett]

Please be Renfroe.

 

He's not a AA pitcher.

[YouthofToday]

One. You people are extremely overvaluing what the value of our prospects are. If Lindsey is not even an average defensive second baseman how is he going to be in every day second baseman.

2. To say that this is worse than the Wells deal is absolutely ludicrous.

3. That said, I have no idea why we targeted a capital C Closer.

I'm hoping its wrong.

It's more like a garden box at this point.

Nobody would. Dipoto is a clown.

I like how you mentioned Lindsey but he is the only guy absolutely 0 people in this thread are upset giving up.

[Inside Pitch]

So, Pretty safe to say that Angels fans have never taken more interest in the pitching staff of the San Antonio Missions.
