New acquisition to be announced soon.

[Inside Pitch]

I don't understand the disdain for this guy. He has a solid 115 OPS+ and seems to me would be a great platoon partner with Victorino. What's the problem? Obviously we don't know what we gave up yet but he seems like a massive upgrade to me. 

 

He's not a name brand, so he sucks.  That's all it takes for some people.

Angels busy. Also closing on a trade for OF David DeJesus.

Another OF?

[kendradad]

Hate to say it, but I told you so.

[tdawg87]

You said "acquisition", as in singular.

 

Thread fail. Prediction fail.

[Stradling]

So which one did you know about?

[Adam]

Might mean bad news on trout

This is like a child waking up on Christmas morning 2015 and instead of getting a lump of coal in his stocking he finds toys from the 80's that aren't vintage or collectors items.

So how far would we go with Robertson, Joyce, and Gillaspie (who in the world is this kid? Had never heard of him until Sunday) vs. Murphy, DeJesus, and Victorino?

I think it's a short term solution.

[kendradad]

Trout will be ok.  We may not be done trading yet.  But we picked up a great person in DeJesus, he is a good complimentarty player, good in the clubhouse and a great .  human being.

They haven't had Kazmir and hamels all season (if that's where he ends up)

Hamels has a no trade clause, and ESPN said this morning that he has already said that he isn't going to the Astros.

So the phillys players are as forward thinking as their front office? Interesting.

Guess I won't be succeeding at spelling bees anytime soon.

[AngelStew43]

Calhoun, Trout, Murphy, Victorino, DeJesus, Robertson.  How many OF are we going to carry?
