Well done CJ

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

We need a nice performance by that. Good to see we can win a 1-0 game.

[Slegnaac]

Come back win last night and a shut out tonight. Great effort by CJ. This team does have what it takes.

[Ohtaniland]

Well done CJ...

Terrific play by Navarro in the 7th inning as well.  They need to keep this guy up here.

[Erstad Grit]

Only trouble he got in was due to an aybar error. Great game.

[Ocangelfan]

definitely trade worthy....so that is a big positve to go along with a win.

[tdawg87]

He pitched his ass off.

[tomsred]

I also liked his tempo tonight, he worked quickly and had what Gubi likes to call that "bulldog" mentality.  I was also impressed with Graveman (what a terrible last name), he did the same. 

[ELEVEN]

Would love to see CJ work quickly like that from now on.

i'm telling you guys, the angels aren't trading players away. they're in the mentality of playing for the post season, they're hardly out of it by any stretch. i don't understand why we think they're in clearinghouse mode.

[Angel Oracle]

Would love to see CJ work quickly like that from now on.

He was doing so earlier this year, and then as he slowed it down, the opposition started tagging him good.

We should trade him for Josh Hamilton.

To be clear I'm not saying we have to trade C.J. or that we even should trade him. What I am saying is that Heaney has a Steamer Rest of Season projection that is nearly identical to Wilson's expected production. Jerry Dipoto will very likely trade Wilson this off-season to move salary off the books so if a trade scenario popped up where moving Wilson helped to improve the team you could place Heaney in the rotation without losing much if anything (perhaps even gaining).

Is it a wise thing to do? I don't know. Baseball is about managing risk and trading Wilson would have risk built into it. Not trading Wilson and continuing with our below average offensive production against RHP is also a risk. Dipoto has to weigh the two.

wow really going out on a limb there

Really don't get what you're driving at Jay. I advocate trading C.J. if it helps improve the team's offense against RHP because I do believe that Heaney can replicate Wilson's production. Otherwise keep him. I said it's about managing risk to the team. What I said was pretty clear. If Dipoto thinks trading Wilson would be too detrimental to the team's chemistry in a playoff hunt don't move him. Instead of a snide remark more constructive criticism?

[Ocangelfan]

with a hit today....gotta imagine the phones are ringing off the hook    

 

heaney would not even be close to what cj is doing this year....maybe a few years down the road....a lot of this is experience.   not to say the wheels are going to fall off or not in the second half for cj...he is worth something decent if that is the direction they want to go...not sure we could afford it with weaver not missing the big bats.

[halobob]

I don't understand all of the CJ hate, the guy has been pretty damn good for us with the exception of last year where he was below average and we still won 98 games that year.

[Jimmag]

He is not Asian

[tdawg87]

I hope we get more of this CJ this year. It's obvious he is still a good pitcher. We are gonna need him with Weaver being a turd.

[wopphil]

It looks to me like I was completely wrong about CJ. I assumed there was no chance he would bounce back from last year. But he is having a great season (his WHIP, bb/k, and bb/9 are all career bests right now).

No way Heaney could match that production. But if we are still foundering in a month, I say trade him if we can get something nice in return.

[wopphil]

And Heaney got rocked yet again tonight. A 4.70 ERA in AAA is hardly inspiring.

[Guest]

Can't trade him now with how crappy Weaver has become. 

[Troll Daddy]

Looks like all you animals were wrong about CJ.

Par for the course
