Bleacher Report predicts Headley to Angels

[KevinJ14]

They predict a 2yr/20 million deal.  I'm not a fan of bleacher report, but here's the link:

[Erstad Grit]

Would have rather had Colon

[AngelsFaninGA]

I'd honestly rather have Freese. 

[YESWECAN]

I vote for Freese!

Latest rumor that I heard is that Oakland is paying Sosh to play Boesch.

BTW does anyone know if Boesch can pitch in the ML----can't hit ML.

This is like saying.

 

"Some regular dude predicts something he knows nothing about."

 

Also, I hope we don't.  It would be pretty absurd since we already have a struggling offensive 3b in Freese.

Bleacher Report?

Callaspo, Freese, Beckham, Headley....pretty much the same....it'd be nice to have an above average 3bman but not sure there is one to be had.

[TroutCron]

Other than catcher, 3rd base is probably the weakest position in MLB. The Angels need to draft and produce their own. Too bad Cowart bombed out.

[Ohtaniland]

In other news...

 

[disarcina]

don't think so unless we move Freese.....I think he has at least one more year on his deal.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I have a feeling were looking at donaldson down the road...

Donaldson is a better hitting Freese -- not sure how he is on the base paths (can't be slower than Freese).

 

But like Freese, Donaldson is really a 3B-DH type-- his glove work down at 3rd is not that great.

 

But Donaldson has some pop and seems to hit for a better average than Freese -- Donaldson seems to hit well against us any way.

whaaa?  Donaldson is the best defensive 3b in the game. 

[AngelStew43]

How about Trevor Plouffe?  Minnesota' s top prospect, Sano, is a 3b, right?  Plouffe is a OC guy, and is FA eligible after 2015.

[Yes]

Pablo Sandoval anyone? Would fit in on the left side of our infield w/ Aybar because they both enjoy playing with a wad of tobacco in their cheek.

[Ray McKigney]

I heard Ron Cey is coming out of retirement. 

[bloodbrother]

Just give me a 3B who isn't a statue in the field

[Ohtaniland]

Remember when Casey McGehee was just waiting for a phone call?

maybe if we sweeten the deal enough he'll come out of retirement

I'd be happy with Beckham in 2015 and then Plouffe after that.

[NJHalo]

Butch Hobson has been weed free for 2 years now, and is looking for a second, second chance

[xboom28x]

Plouffe is Joe Crede waiting to happen. Even Twins fans aren't fond of Plouffe.

Does he have a history of back issues?  I'm not all that familiar with Plouffe's issues..   It's a genuine question and not an attempt at snark.

Ok, not in the content of suffering from the same injury issues. But in the sense of showing promise but then disappearing. Maybe Crede is the wrong comparison, but you get the picture. Twins fans here have been unimpressed by him. You could probably put him in the same class as Freese and Headley. His career OBP is Trumbo-esque without the power.

Thanks, wasn't sure at all what you meant.     And yeah, he's always seemed a bit underwhelming.   Third is just a wasteland right now all across baseball.  Panda may be the best option available and he's someone I'd be worried about going NL to AL even with his having performed well in a big time pitcher's park.
