Angels Acquire Huston Street

[nate]

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.

 

Of the 3 prospects included Lindsey is by far the worst.  Rondon and RJ Alvarez are the best position player and best pitching prospects in the entire org right now.

Nor would I, and I am not even a GM.

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

Why didn't Dipoto target a relief pitcher that was not a goddamn closer? With similar skill set?

[bloodbrother]

It will be some shitty reliever like Trevor Gott

 

LOL

Horrible deal. Just horrible

[SoWhat]

Wow. Dipoto is a ****ing moron

[SigBaby]

Who made this trade for the padres? How can a team make trades without a GM?

I agree. Don't we ready have a 2nd base prospect that sucks with the glove? Why do we need two of them?

Then again, I don't think anyone cares too much that Lindsey is going. It's Rondon and Alvarez that is the uproar.

[Diaz15]

Who the hell is Trevor Gott?

Sounds like we Gott screwed

Called it. The 9 walks in 11 innings was a dead giveaway.

This isn't even funny. This is embarrassing.

[bloodbrother]

Dipoto just got abused by the Padres

 

Seriously gave up most of their top farm prospects for a reliever who hasn't pitched over 58 innings the last 4 years

[Hollyw00d]

Street better lead this team to the f'ing world series, and save every game. And strike out the side every appearance.

we'll probably make it to the WC game and lose instead, tho.

[JarsOfClay]

because relief pitchers that arent closers dont give him enough headlines!

[Hamilton Noji]

bedrock for closer. and i guess we are keeping aybar for 10 more years. and green at 2B. 

 

we better ****ING WIN IT ALL THIS YEAR. shit jerry!

[jsnpritchett]

Remember: we're still giving up another guy...Guesses on who it'll be?

[Taylor]

That's all they gott?

[xboom28x]

Padres have no reason to trade Street. Was going to take a lot to trade him anyway. Other teams would have had to pay a similar price.

[The Dude]

Nobody would. Dipoto is a clown.

And i thought Lindsey and Alvarez was too much. I seriously cant believe they are dealing Rondon. Why?

[Reveille1984]

I feel like this is a bad practical joke.... what is happening

[Turd Ferguson]

For the record, I've been against a trade for Street for this very reason. That said, this is worse than I imagined.

Cool. We should have let those other teams pay that price.
