Angels Acquire Huston Street

[jsnpritchett]

What's funny about this is that I bet the Padre fans (assuming there are any?) will probably complain about not getting enough back for Street if it's just Lindsey.

Supposedly Rondon isn't in the lineup for the Travs either. That would suck to lose him.

Yes it would

He is probably replacing Lindsey in SL.

 

Losing Lindsey is big, don't like that deal.  Obviously the org sees Grant Green as the future 2b.

[bloodbrother]

If it's Lindsey for Street, I'm happy

 

Damn, this pen is incredibly deep now

 

Street

Smith

Grilli

Jepsen

Morin

Thatcher

Santiago(when CJ returns)/Rasmus/Salas

No way is Rondon moving up to Triple-A. Dude is just 20 years old and they've already been pretty aggressive with him

 

They have Alex Yarbrough in Double-A as a potential 2B for them for the future. Him or Grant Green

Maybe the org thinks Howie Kendrick will continue to be the 2B for the foreseeable future...

lindsay isnt a chump tho

This too. Maybe they lock up Kendrick to another extension for 3 years or so.

[Reveille1984]

If it's just Lindsey and some scraps I think that's fine.  Howie is here for another season and we can probably extend him another year or two if needed.

[jsnpritchett]

Even if they don't, they still have him through next year, plus Yarbrough and Green.  Lindsey (or Yarbrough, or Green...) is expendable.

Not happy if we lose Lindsey. He's our best position player prospect. Stupid. Knew the price was going to be high on Street.

Agree.  I'd say Lindsey will likely be a slightly above average second baseman.  Yarbrough's discipline is kind of scary though.

Can confirm #Angels and #Padres in serious talks on Huston Street. AAA 2B Taylor Lindsey, A SS Jose Rondon could be in trade.

Strike that Jose Rondon speculation on #Angels trade. Turns out he was promoted to double-A Arkansas. Good for him.

Nice.  Figured he wouldn't be a part of the deal, good to have confirmation though.

Meh..  I kinda like Yar more.  Doesn't have the power profile but he doesn't have the herky jerky swing and he plays better defense.   I'd say Lindsey would likely be better if he reached his peak but I think Yar may have a better chance of reaching his peak.  

 

Yar is a hell of a hack though...

Maybe Stamets will be in the deal now...

[Tyler]

Hope it's Yarbrough being moved over Lindsey... but I understand that it's a Bane vs. Servais guy. Sigh.

The existence of both makes the loss of one or the other easier to deal with.    

[Stradling]

Shane we will have a great bully if this happens.

[wopphil]

Lindsay for Street seems fair to me. Lindsay is a good prospect, but not great, at a position where we have lots of depth. Street has a full season after this on his contract, at a reasonable price. Very fair, provided we aren't giving up more.

It just stinks that we didn't just sign Street in the first place this off-season.

Not for me. I value Lindsey much higher than Yarbrough.

Huston Street to angels is being fiinalized

[Season Over]

Taylor Lindsey's primary weakness is having two girl names. Jamey Carrol was the same way.
