[Chris]

Colin Cowgill for Jason Grilli

[VariousCrap]

From this list, players that fit the Angels needs are:

 

Carlos Gomez

Ryan Braun

Andre Ethier
Ryan Howard

Carlos Gonzales

Gerardo Parra

Jay Bruce

Ben Revere

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Amazing to see Scott Kazmir at #5 on that list, given as bad as he was here.

[Mark68]

From this list, players that fit the Angels needs are:

 

Carlos Gomez

Ryan Braun

Andre Ethier

Ryan Howard

Carlos Gonzales

Gerardo Parra

Jay Bruce

Ben Revere

Adam Lind (for DH and to rest Pujols)

[Angelsjunky]

The Brewers have several players that could help: Lind, Gomez, Braun, even Segura at 2B or eventual replacement for Aybar. Braun has too big of a salary and Gomez will require too much to acquire, but Lind could be a good DH/1B.

 

I wouldn't touch Cargo - dude is declining fast.

[Second Base]

I wonder if Jay Bruce is washed up or if there's something left in the tank.

[tdawg87]

Lind makes a lot of sense. But only for DH/1B.

[Tyler]

Chris Ellis and Kyle McGowin for Jean Segura.

[QuinlansMinion]

Ill take me some Ryan Braun. Would love to see the reaction on this board if that were to happen.

[VariousCrap]

I wouldn't touch Cargo - dude is declining fast.

 

 

 

Actually, he was hurt last year and has been producing the last month and is looking more like his young self.  Not sure how much of that is the result of the park he plays in though.

[VariousCrap]

I wonder if Jay Bruce is washed up or if there's something left in the tank.

 

 

 

Last I checked, he hasn't looked good this season.

[VariousCrap]

TBPH, the pitchers at the top of this list would help. But, with the youngster's coming I doubt that JeDi would go arms.

 

Tulo - Would require a haul.....I would put him at 3B though also.

Gomez - Would require some young pitchers in return.

Braun - We all know about the dyck within....He played Leftfield for a few years when the dude from M's played RF for them...

Ethier - Would work in a trade of CJ maybe get the Doggs to add in Guerrero and we add a minor league bullpen arm....

Howard - I think would work is owed a ton of cash. I don't see JR selling low..

Zobrist - Like I stated above.

 

The rest are different shades of burnt toast!

 

 

 

No way the Dodgers will trade Guerrero.  Not going to happen.

 

In the article, it says the Phillies would most likely need to eat all but 10 million of Howard's contract to move him.

[Chris]

I don't think Arte has ever signed (or traded for) a known PED's user.

[tomsred]

Ill take me some Ryan Braun. Would love to see the reaction on this board if that were to happen.

 

Reaction? - there wouldn't be any that wouldn't occur for anyone else on the list.  Sorry to bust your pleasure.

[Dick B Back]

Bust your pleasure... sounds like the name of a porn flick.

[QuinlansMinion]

Reaction? - there wouldn't be any that wouldn't occur for anyone else on the list.  Sorry to bust your pleasure.

Im afraid youre mistaken.  Many here dont want guys affiliated with PED's.  I for one, welcome any player that will help the team win.  A lot of people would lose their minds if we traded for a guy that has been suspended for drugs.  

[ukyah]

Bust your pleasure... sounds like the name of a porn flick.

 

 

says the guy named "dick b back".

[ukyah]

@QM -

 

I forgot to add I also believe Arte' is done with liars, head cases and cheaters though..So, take Braun and Gomez out of the equation

 

 

i really don't get all the "head case" stuff against gomez. didn't it boil down to like an extremely heated season series or something like that? i'd take that dude in a minute, he's a very good player.

[ten ocho recon scout]

funny enough, was looking at segura too for aybar next year. Gomez would be nice but doesnt he have issues of being an asshole?
