Will the Angels Do Anything

[Stradling]

There are about three hours left until the trade deadline, will the Angels make a move? If so are you thinking an impact starter or a depth move starter? Are you thinking a little tinkering to add a little extra depth for the bench? Another outfielder? A third baseman? A middle infielder for depth? What do you all think?

[Chimi]

I think the Angels are good. They already did what they needed to do and that was shore up the bullpen and get someone to finish games. There is no one available that is going to give us anything worth trading for. At least someone we can afford. Grilli and Street were our two big trade deadline acquisitions. Verdict is still out on Thatcher.

[Stradling]

I wouldn't mind a small deal to get a guy like Bonafacio, he would be a great pinch runner late in games. He can play all over the field. He would be a great depth move.

[Jay]

I'd like to see us get a SP

[hats4bats]

Yeah the team definitely needs some legs off the bench

[Stradling]

I also wouldn't have a problem if they just went all in for a GREAT player, either Tulo or Price. It would certainly create some excitement here and at the stadium.

[The Dude]

I agree with Chimi, The Angels already made their move. I don't expect any other deals to go down.

[Inside Pitch]

Angels best response to the trade stuff is to go on a winning streak.

[Stradling]

Asdrubal Cabrera would be a nice pick up that could displace Freese from starting.

[red321]

I would be surprised to see the Halos make a move at this deadline, in August I would expect them to be sniffing around a veteran SP 

[Ochocinco!]

I would love pitching help but we have nothing to give so looks like we will be counting on CJ's return as a pick up...

[Sherlock31]

I think we are done, no Rondon, no deal.

[bloodbrother]

They need another legitimate starter, but I don't see them being able to find the pieces from their farm system to get something done. They'd have to probably deal a contributing player from their major league roster, which I'd be hesitant to do, and I assume Dipoto would too

 

CJ Wilson is returning this weekend right? Or next week...they'll probably see how he looks when he comes back. A move in August seems more likely, assuming they end up making one

[Mudville]

I wouldn't mind a small deal to get a guy like Bonafacio, he would be a great pinch runner late in games. He can play all over the field. He would be a great depth move.

You don't trade for pinch runners, there are plenty of fast guys in the minors to take that role.

[Stradling]

Well those guys probably don't play as many positions and don't hit .270 in the majors.

[laagamer]

No, I don't think they will. 

[The Dude]

Asdrubal Cabrera would be a nice pick up that could displace Freese from starting.

I considered this as well, until I saw Cabreras numbers. He's having a bit of a down year only posting a .692 OPS, which isn't much better than Freese .657. Unless the got him for basically nothing I think I'd rather stick with Freese.

[Angel Oracle]

Asdrubal Cabrera would be a nice pick up that could displace Freese from starting.

This one intrigues me, upon having heard that the Indians are likely not picking up the option on him.

Maybe a fresh start with a contending team at 3B is just what Cabrera needs to return to his past hitting form. 

He has to be much better defensively, even at 3B, than Freese is. 

[Erstad Grit]

Yeah the team definitely needs some legs off the bench

 

Juan Pierre is still a FA

[Sherlock31]

Asdrubal Cabrera would be a nice pick up that could displace Freese from starting.

No chance.

[nando714]

Waiver wire.

Angels and dodgers will do their best to add sp without giving up prospects and take on salary imo

[laagamer]

We need to do something.

 

But we won't. 

[Cdaniel]

I think we get Cliff Lee in August. How many teams will have to pass on him before the Angels get a shot?

[Stradling]

I think we get Cliff Lee in August. How many teams will have to pass on him before the Angels get a shot?

Every single team except the A's.

[nando714]

Every single team except the A's.

Dodgers would claim him again imo if they don't get Price
