Angels acquire OFer David Murphy from the Indians for SS Eric Stamets

[AngelsFaninGA]

Stoneman probably forgot he traded for Victorino yesterday, might've even forgotten he traded for Murphy 15 minutes ago.

Dejesus 35, Victorino 34, Murphy 33

 

Can't wait until we roll out a lineup with those three guys batting 2, 3, and 5.

So....Stamets and Lopez gone? Anything else?

 

If not, that's impressive.

[Inside Pitch]

I repeat, a .188 batting average and .505 OPS in July.

 

The league has figured him out.

 

Only took them ten years to figure him out eh?

[ten ocho recon scout]

So we still have depth, plus trade chips and 3 more days to make a deal if we still want to. Thats not bad. Its not sexy, but we can sit tight and still be improved, or we can still package a few guys and make a bigger move.

DeJesus is batting .338 in day games

He's our new Sunday cleanup hitter

[hen3ry]

So we got two serviceable pieces for a shortstop batting .248 in AA, and pitcher in his 4th year of rookie ball.  

 

Stoneman's a stone cold thief.

So, if I understand your post...he's been a big leaguer for 9 years...since 2006...and it just happens that in July of 2015 the league figured him out and he will never be a productive bat again?

 

Wow...Angels sure have bad timing.

All they gave up was Stamets? Awesome deal. Made some solid upgrades without giving up much of anything.

Yep, that's it. Angels have given up nothing of note. All of their pitching depth still here

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Really wanted Bruce. I would have liked some pop. I'm okay with this though.

[Inside Pitch]

Why do I have a feeling the Angels traded Nate Smith for this guy

 

If the news is right and they just fixed the two black holes while only giving up Stammets and Lopez -- holy shit....   Brilliant!

[Stradling]

With these two acquisitions we actually have guys that can come off the bench and pinch hit. Imagine that, we haven't had that in a few years.

NOW we get Arenado!

and Price

[Chimi]

I actually like the two moves.  Nothing sexy, but I think could be solid.

 

Thanks Scios.....errr.....Stoneman!

If these trades workout then it was Klentak, if they don't then it is Scioscia's fault. If we make another trade and that guy makes a lot of money and he doesn't work out then it was because of Arte.

#Angels person told me Victorino/Murphy/DeJesus are for LF/depth and not because of Trout injury.

 

 

Well, they've improved LF and improved the bench depth with these moves. My only gripe is that the team could use another bat with a bit more pop. Murphy/Victorino/DeJesus don't offer much there

 

LF will be significantly improved though which is a huge bonus. That was a black hole all year long

[Jimmag]

Not groundbreaking and definitely not Farm wrecking. It is an upgrade.

[tdawg87]

Get Boxberger if he's available.

Just give Klentak the full time gig and call it a day...

Right now Stoneman is putting his phone on vibrate, relaxing into his gamer chair, and putting halo on the big screen with a big 'kiss my ass' grin on his face.

[Chuck]

Murphy/Victorino platoon = Beast

 

Agreed!

[Stradling]

Somewhere DMvol is shitting himself.
