This is the last we'll see of him in an Angels uniform in all likelihood. He will probably be claimed by a team taking a flyer on him and we'll have to work out a trade or accept cash. If not he can leave after the season in free agency due to service time accumulation.

 

Bummer I had hopes for him one day.

[Doug Ogilvie]

Brady and Rucinski still in Arizona, staying ready.

Nothing to see here, move along!

Jo Jo Reyes?

Sounds delicious.

It's really no big deal because none of them have a future in the organization or would be on the postseason roster, but Green has more value than Joyce or DeJesus. Trading him in the offseason could at least have got us something in return, even if it's just an average bullpen prospect or something. The other two guys are just going to sit on the bench for a few more days then get released.

Gritty veterans are hard to value...

Green was a major disappointment. 

 

In the end, a solid 4-a player. 

 

And to think, major league scouts and GM's selected him before Mike Trout.

 

Billy Beane who?

ok so he's free

[Guest]

Excellent news. He has no value, and he seemed to have a bad attitude.

That was a good one. Tip of the cap.

It sucks that he was never given a change by the Angels. I expect him to be a very solid player with his new team that doesn't have a weird grudge against him.

He was given plenty of chances.

[Richard]

Mods, can we pin this thread since we know it's going to be bumped to death next season?

???

[Homebrewer]

Why didn't they do this months ago? Were they trying to trade him and got no takers?

Seems like they could have given him a chance to catch on somewhere before the season ended.

It really does seem like he got in someone's doghouse.

[Angelsjunky]

He was given plenty of chances.

 

He was never given a real chance. Random call-ups over three years isn't really a chance.

[Oz27]

Much worse players have been given longer chances than Green.

[Hollyw00d]

Looking forward to him tearing it up for some other organization

[Homebrewer]

A chance would be 100+ games...Like Joyce and a whole lot of Angels suckage.

Finley, Hillenbrand, the list is long.

[Inside Pitch]

Much worse players have been given longer chances than Green.

 

The lack of a glove doomed him.

[seenoevil]

Watch him flourish in Seattle now that Jerry is calling the shots

[Dick B Back]

Green makes Johnny G look like a gold glover. No athleticism. No power. No loss.

[Second Base]

I think Grant latches on somewhere as a Jung-Ho Kang type. The Angels never gave him much if a chance, so this is good for him.
