As manager Mike Scioscia told me recently, the Angels have holes, and those start with second base and left field. The offense continues to be inconsistent, with Matt Joyce struggling and Johnny Giavotella unable to fill the void left by Howie Kendrick.

Trade fits: Carlos Gonzalez would be a perfect left-handed-hitting complement to Albert Pujols and Mike Trout if Colorado falls out of the race, but Southern California native Chase Utley also makes a lot of sense.


GM Jerry Dipoto has always been aggressive, and he would possibly need to package lefties Andrew Heaney and Sean Newcomb (the club's top two prospects) to get CarGo, who is owed $37 million over the next two seasons. Righties Joe Gatto (the club's fourth-ranked prospect) or Nick Tropeano (fifth-ranked prospect) would be enough to acquire Utley, who has a $15 million vesting option for each of the next three seasons. The options kick in if he reaches 500 plate appearances the previous year.

That is funny. No! No! No!

Plus, how has Johnny G been an issue.

[GalericX]

typical of a sports writer that does not follow a team, but knows what is best for it.

[nando714]

Dipoto has worked hard to fix the pitching depth and get the salaries down

Idk if he'd blow it up unless el hefe overrides him. After the hackilton dibacle I dobut he'd override JD again but who knows

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Didn't know CarGo was hitting .202/.265/.326 so far this year. Ouch.

   

[KevinJ14]

Saw that too.  Don't think I would package Heaney and/or Newcomb with anything.

 

As far as Gatto though, we haven't seen him enough. 

[QuinlansMinion]

Lets trade El Nino for El Hefe.

[tdawg87]

Carlos Gonzalez is the definition of "product of his environment". .748 OPS away from Coors Field. Plus he is in the NL.

 

Just no.

[Dick B Back]

Who the hell is Jim Duquette and what does he know about anything?

[Agalloch]

Seriously, I'd hardly call Johnny G a weakness.

 

And no, just no.

 

Finally, hahahaha

Finally

[vlad27]

Johnny G has been pretty good I'd say. Joyce not so much - hopefully don't trade Heaney or Newcomb I doubt the front office is ready to ditch the young cost effective pitching model

[Taylor]

I would drop an explanative if that trade happened.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

How about no. We don't need to trade the future for the past.

[Blarg]

Told him recently as in the second week of Spring Training? 

 

Giavotella has a higher OPS than Robinson Cano. 

[arch stanton]

Somebody paid him to pull that out of his ass. Glad it wasn't me.
