Are The Angels Really Going To Stand Pat?

[Dick B Back]

How do all these threads turn into Jerry and Josh threads? Move it along!

Looks like our "little birdie" who predicted a blockbuster deal that we would all love was completely full of sh*t.

I'm glad I somehow missed that little birdie.

That was a pipe dream either way.  If that would have happened, then the price would have been far too great, and since it didn't happen after a three game Houston sweep it's a loss as well.

I am good with the moves also.   nothing to mortgage what little we apparently had and they all get one more year to grow and maybe help us.    we should have plenty of cost controlled pitching into next few years for sure.    maybe get a chance at a FA bat with no draft pick attached

 

was really hoping for cj out and ethier in.....but that shipped sailed with all the pitching on the market.   the only thing made it viable is dodgers wanting to move the big contract...but as you can see now they don't care for rest of this year about money whatsoever

[TroutField]

As much as we wanted a big bat what the FO did was best. They didn't make any spur of the moment decision, kept our minor leaguers in tact and slightly upgraded the offense for close to nothing. If it works than we look like geniuses if it fails we all understand why it failed and can look forward to Newcomb as our Ace and make a good trade in the offseason when the price in terms of prospects drops. Now with Cespedes having no draft pick compensation attached he has got to be your number 1 target. If we can upgrade left, 3rd, and if possible 2nd than we look great for next year.

I agree.  I would just add that catching needs addressing in the off season as well.  This is the last year on Iannetta's contract.

Jepsen for Joyce ruined the season.

Man the things people post

[Angel Oracle]

2016 rotation:

Richards, Santiago, Heaney, Shoe, and either Tropeano or Skaggs

[ten ocho recon scout]

Very possible they did. It is the only way the Joyce move makes any sense whatsoever.

joyce was brought in to platoon with cron

Weaver and Wilson retire?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

It seems to be generally assumed that Wilson will be dealt after season's end. Of course, if his trip to the DL is the result of a major arm problem, that could kill any trade plans.

[tomsred]

Wilson is not trading material, it's over.
