Rickie Weeks?

[KevinJ14]

From MLBTR:

 

• Angels: The Halos are currently projected to use a combination of Grant Green, Josh Rutledge and Johnny Giavotella at second in 2015. None of those three offer much upside with the bat — though assistant GM Matt Klentak spoke very optimistically about Green when he was a guest on the MLBTR Podcast last fall — nor do any project to be elite (or even above-average) defenders. If the Angels are going with an open competition at second base, adding Weeks to the mix would seem a reasonable course of action.

He seems to have really gone downhill due to injuries. No thanks.

[Second Base]

I like Weeks, but not sure he'd be any better than Green, Rutledge or Giavotella. 

[Adam]

Black guy. Sign me up

[nando714]

Give Weeks an invite to ST and let's see what developes

[MVTrout]

Pass.

[nikkachez]

I'd be curious if there was a platoon option, but there's not. 

[ELEVEN]

No.

[laagamer]

So we'd trade away a 32yr old Howie Kendrick with great production value just to trade for another 32yr old Rickie Weeks with inconsistent production value. 

 

Nope. 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

He once appeared to be headed toward becoming one of the game's stars. Time and injuries have taken their toll. His own team isn't offering him.

[Butcher'd]

I'd take a chance on him..he hit pretty damn well last year (when healthy)

[ItzTacosYerrp]

its already crowded!

[Taylor]

its already crowded!

 

Racist.

[Lou]

So we'd trade away a 32yr old Howie Kendrick with great production value just to trade for another 32yr old Rickie Weeks with inconsistent production value. 

 

Nope. 

 

but we wouldn't have traded Howie for Weeks

[disarcina]

I'd take Weeks over what we have now..........I mean, he was once really pretty good -- has his skills deteriorated that quickly?

 

What's his contact status -- he's a F/A?

 

some one will pick him up..........

 

he once had decent speed, better than average power, sometime had trouble keeping his BA up and probably struck out a lot ----average glove, not great but decent at 2B.

 

worth a flyer if he's not getting offers elsewhere -- I wouldn't over - pay for him but if he's anywhere close to what he once was......he's probably better all around than are options at 2B now.

[ELEVEN]

Give Green a chance to win the job........!!!!!

All he is saying

is give Green a chance

[ELEVEN]

Speed and Power are both gone. But at least he's a below average fielder, so he will fit right in.

[laagamer]

but we wouldn't have traded Howie for Weeks

 

Precisely yes but I was simply trying to point out they seem like similar players in their age. And production wise, Howie is far more consistent.

 

I don't see how this move would fit in with the long term goals we've chosen.

[greginpsca]

pass!!  Go with the younger guys.

[Tank]

i'm calling it now - grant green is just a guy. you guys who beating the drum for him aren't going to be very happy with what he gives the team.

[Angel Oracle]

Focus on trying to sign Olivera. 

Weeks will not be any better than Featherston, Rutledge, et al.

[LAAMike]

Weeks end up with the Mariners.

[KevinJ14]

Interesting signing for the Mariners.  They have that one guy on their team already?
