I really hope you are correct.  that would benefit us as if he were to have a great first half of 2017, we could get a nice little bounty for him on the trade market.

Rodney >>> Street

And both of them suck.

Fortunately the Rondons traded for Street aren't showing very much.

street isn't an overpowering pitcher, but he's not weaver either. that means that i'd put my money on tipping pitches or a mechanical flaw that's destroying his ability to locate. outside of that, then it'd be most likely injury, and he doesn't look injured.

going by the lou metric system, then yes he is.

Is Street even worth a "fringe prospect", like 7'1 Loek Van Mil (the tall Dutch dude we got for Brian Fuentes in 2010, currently out of baseball.)

Nup, I would be stunned if anyone took on that contract even if they didn't have to give anything up. It's amazing how quickly he has fallen.

Street is making Frieri's last year here look amazing.

you guys are tripping over street. he's been bad only since he came back from the oblique injury. his first month before the injury he had a 1 era and in the 2 months since his injury return he's been terrible.

i'd say it's significantly more likely that something is injured or mechanically wrong and not that he sucks suddenly because of 2 months of bad pitching.

the angels aren't going to get anything or salary relief for him this deadline. keep him and let him rebuild his value when he gets straight. if he does, then other teams have a direct line of reasoning for his bad spell and won't have to mitigate trade return with concerns over a career downturn.

He was pretty bad last year post all star break. 

4.39 ERA with opponents hitting .282

Pre-all star he was 2.27 with opps hitting .181
