[Chuckster70]

Today the Angels sent OF Matt Long (PTBNL) to the Dodgers to complete Drew Butera trade.

After the Dodgers acquired Matt Long, they sent him to Milwaukee with Jarret Martin for C Shawn Varraga

We hardly knew ye.

I'll miss him

[LAAMike]

Good spring training last year but oh, well.

[Hollyw00d]

He had a good beard

[beatlesrule]

Oh geez.  For a second, I thought Matt Joyce got traded.

[Sherlock31]

Well he had his chance last year when Hamilton and Calhoun went down with injuries, too bad he didn't hit well enough to get a promo. 

 

Good luck in Milwaukee.

Give our regards to Segura

I'm not sure which emphatuation I found weirder, Matt Long or Chris Pettit. Good luck to Matt, anyway.

What was weird about liking Chris Pettit? He had some pretty nice numbers.

What was weird about liking Chris Pettit? He had some pretty nice numbers.

He had one pretty good AAA campaign (it's not like an .865 OPS at Salt Lake is THAT great) and was then seen as the second coming here. There was a time where it seemed he may make a decent fifth outfielder, but the love for him here was a little strong.

[Make Angels Great Again]

You failed to mention his .900-1.000 OPS at the lower levels.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Also, his numbers are nicer if you look past OPS. AAA he hit .321/.383/.482 with 18 SBs. Pretty damn good.

[Butcher'd]

I seem to remember Petit's career being derailed by shoulder injuries...could be wrong

Okay, this thread title scared me. I was thinking Shoemaker.

[m0nkey]

How about terry Evans

[Oz27]

How about terry Evans

Haha I totally forgot about him. Easily the best example of all.

Classic Angelswin misdirection. Like that time Scoiscia got traded away for Gretsky.
