Marte up, Cowgill to DL

[Mark68]

Hardcore.

OK...that was the answer I was hoping for.

 

[AngelStew43]

Thank you, Chuck

[Troutstanding]

I also am a fan of your move to ban hardcore guy, Chuck. Thank you. 

[Second Base]

Rarely would I concern myself with membership, but that as definitely the right move to ban that guy. 

[Blarg]

I kinda liked his tune.

[Guest]

I suspended his account for two weeks.

He gone (for now). We'll see if he comes back a changed man after his time out (I doubt it).

Dude, you rock!

That guy was really shitting this place up.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

You know this is a mistake, right?

Marte will walk into clubhouse to encounter a shocked Sosh

"Jerry told me they were sending me Alfredo. What will I out on my fettuccini.??"

[floplag]

I completely agree with this, but who is out there that is available that the Angels can trade with???  I just don't see any game changers that are available at this time.

 

Frankly i think if we are willing to pay the price, we can make a good deal, the question is what are we willing to do?

 

If we offered up for example, and im not suggesting this to be clear, Heaney and Tropeano, or one of then and Santiago.. or some other package like that i think we could easily convince some teams without high expectations to talk.. even some with them that need pitching. 

Yes of course that hurts us and in many ways negates the progress weve made in that regard... but it would open doors. 

 

The question is what do we want to go get really?  are ew willing to do something like that to get a bonafide OFer to replace what we thought we had in Hamilton, or are we looking more for having our cake and eating it too and trying to make something happen with Philly around Revere/Howard for less talent/cash.

 

I cant answer that, i dont know where the front office is, but i know we have a window here and wasting another season seems one of the worst things we could do.   

[Lou]

Hardcore.

 

WOOP WOOP

[HeavenlyHalos]

Should we just anoint him Alfredo Sauce now or wait until AO does it?

 

If he strikes out looking or holds up on a ball defensively, can we call him chicken alfredo?

[Lou]

when he strikes out.....

[KevinJ14]

The Phillies and Angels had been talking about a Revere trade for some time, sources had told MLB.com. The Phillies wanted at least one Minor League player in return, but the sides could not reach an agreement.

Hardcore.

Am I the only one that couldn't keep from thinking of this scene from movie Swingers, anytime he read his user-name?

Overall, I agree with you, but I still don't see any game changing OF'ers available.  We all keep acting like there is some major player to trade for and I just haven't heard of one being available.  Have you?  Has anyone?

 

Unless something major happens to a team, I don't see the Angels getting anyone better than an Ethier/Van Slyke (when Puig returns) or Reddick.

 

IMO, I think the reality is the Angels need a LF and a DH.  Their current options at those positions just are not cutting it and with Pujols continuing to regress, these places in the line-up need to have some kick.

 

Based on possible options, you could say getting Ethier for LF and Howard to DH would add a major boost to the line-up and would most likely cost the Angels the least in players to give up.

 

My fear is that the Angels end up with Revere in LF and a guy like David Murphy at DH.

I'd keep an eye on the Brewers. By keeping an eye on them, I mean hope they fall completely out of the running (more so than now) so that Carlos Gomez becomes available.

"I grew up here!"

"...anaheim..."

Gomez would be a good option if available, but the Brewers are going to want to trade Braun instead.

Of course they would. But they'd get more for Gomez.
