3-way trade has legs. As said, Bruce to Jays, Saunders to angels.

Smh

Only thing that gives me hope is the Reds have been getting worked over in trades this offseason.

Uneventful, he isn't very good.

[wopphil]

Seriously, why do we need this guy? He is no better than Nava or Cron.

[CanadianHalo]

Just more competition for the LF job that's open. Trading for Saunders says the platoon thing they got going on is the plan for 2016.

Yay.

Unless we are unloading cash on someone, I don't know why we would make the effort to obtain a 29 year old with minimal success at the MLB level.  At least Nava/Gentry have done something at some point.  Hopefully, this is just clearing payroll by moving one of our contracts someplace else in prep for another move later on.

2012-2014, he had a .740 OPS for the M's in some 1,150 at bats, and averaged upper 2.0s offensive WAR.

Defensively though, he averaged a -0.6 WAR.

 

Sounds like a somewhat watered down version of Matt Joyce before the decline. 

 

What does he bring that Nava doesn't?

Sounds like rearranging chairs?

1yr of control for Saunders.  Doesn't seem like something that would all that helpful.  whatevs.  

[Halos of Anaheim]

Gentry vs LHP and Nava vs RHP is good enough for a platoon. Both end up having an OPS+ of 112 vs their preferred pitchers. What the hell did we give up for this guy?

 

EDIT: He has some decent pop vs RHP I guess, definitely better than Gentry/Nava..maybe a pinch hitter late in games?

If they trade Heaney I'll never follow this team again.

[Angel Oracle]

Heaney for Saunders would be Colorado trading Figgins for Bartee stupid.

This times 10.

[Turd Ferguson]

Great, more scrap to sort through.

[kingsosha]

I am in the minority here but I like Saunders.

[VariousCrap]

Gentry vs LHP and Nava vs RHP is good enough for a platoon. 

 

 

 

No.  No it isn't.

[CanadianHalo]

We're obviously giving up nothing for this bum

[VariousCrap]

There is no way they are trading Heaney for this guy people.  Calm the F down.

Angels trade LHP Ho Lee Fuk, signed out of Mundoo. 

[Halos of Anaheim]

No.  No it isn't.

 

Better than last year. They both get on base EXTREMELY well (talking .350+ OBP) in a platoon. They just have no pop.

Saunders best season was 2012 for SEA: .247/.306/.432, 19 HR, 57 RBI, 21 SB in 139 G. Had 60% of meniscus in L knee removed last Feb.
