Angels Acquire Huston Street

[worldofx]

Giving up multiple prospects for a closer who will maybe give us 25 IP the rest of this season is just dumb. Street's also injury prone and has had a gopher ball problem prior to this season.

[jsnpritchett]

Start looking over their rosters for RPs with walk rates over 5.00.   

 

This is the other guy in the deal:

Why didn't we just sign Street a few months ago, when most people on here even realized our pen wasn't good enough?

[bloodbrother]

If they were going to gut their already weak farm system...gut it for a starter. Paying that much for a reliever is always terrible

[Angels Never Die]

**** this trade.

Not just multiple prospects, but Rondon, Lindsey, and Alvarez are 3 of the best prospects this mediocre farm system has to offer.

 

Dealing all 3 for Street would also pretty much kill any hope of getting a starter worth giving a shit about.

I like how nothing's confirmed and we're already ready to decapitate DiPoto.

Can confirm, via source, that #Angels sending 2B Taylor Lindsey, RHP R.J. Alvarez and SS Jose Rondon to #Padres for Street. Nice haul.

   

 

 

OUCH   This one hurts!

[CaliAngel]

hope all you people who wanted street are happy

 

Yeah it's all our fault!

[Reveille1984]

It has to be a top tier guy in their system coming back to us... right?  RIGHT???

Absolutely horrifying. Like, this is the worst trade Jerry has made. This is even worse than the Wells trade.

Cool, so how about Scott Servais for GM?

[SigBaby]

Is it too late for someone to not pass the physical

[Turd Ferguson]

Sick to my stomach.

[AngelsFaninGA]

One step forward, 2 steps back. 

[SoWhat]

It's a Double-A pitcher, not sure who

Well Street has been injury prone...

When was Street a FA?

 

He was traded to Padres straight up for this scrub http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa388834&position=P and then signed an extension in '12 with the Padres.

[Chimi]

This is a great trade for the Angels...

...said no one ever.

that's a joke, right?

[Inside Pitch]

Thanks Jar-Jar Reagins!

[CaliAngel]

Dipoto got hosed!

[Taylor]

Lindsey has a .700 OPS in SLC this season. Why are we so high on him again?

[Hollyw00d]

looks like bowden was right.

 

we would give up the farm for this clown
