Who does Cowart have to blow to get a shot?

[Glen]

This is beyond ridiculous. He can't be worse defensively or offensively than any of our current 2b/1b. Franklin is no better than Espinosa. 

Give the kid a shot, for Pete's sake. Give us some sort of sign that the status quo isn't good enough.

No matter how much you stalk him, he won't go out with you.

[Jobu]

But will you?

[Glen]

I'm a "maybe."

[tdawg87]

He just needs to steal the incriminating photos

[Troll Daddy]

Trout can't even make this team good ... what makes anyone think Cowart will

Are those still floating around? I thought Mathis burned them.

[ettin]

He will be up on the 23rd I thought I covered this in another thread?

You expect them to read, .....they can only complain.

Cowart will be a non issue this winter when Moose is inked

Think of Cowart as being more like an ointment than a cure.

Yeah, let's sign the guy having a career year to a long-term deal.

You wouldn't be in favor of that move? Lol why

There's no doubt he's an upgrade over anyone we've had there since Glaus.  But as I said, he's coming off of a career year, and that's gonna drive his price way up.

The flip side to that is that Beltre was coming off of a great year and I remember I didn't want the Angels to sign him at the time because I was sure he was gonna regress.  So yeah, what do I know.

[totdprods]

I expect we will see Kaleb up after the deadline. Keep him in AAA for now, maybe someone buys his numbers legitimately and takes him in a trade, and hold onto any hope Espinosa gets red hot for two weeks and a contender loses a MIF to injury. 

[California Cajun]

Could be the Angels are playing certain players in hopes of trading them.  If they do well contenders will want them.

I know. It's a guessing game.

What does Beltre have, like a thousand hits since then? LOL.

 

[Jobu]

He has a therapeutic exemption is what he has.

I'm not totally sold on Mous yet. Acquisitions whose primary asset is LH power tend to underwhelm when they come here but coming from another tough place to hit he may be less shell-shocked than others have been

Same here. I would like him no doubt, but I'll be a little nervous if he is our 'big splash' of the offseason. There would need to be another solid acquisition or two for the club to pin some hopes too.

[CanadianHalo]

Yeah.

Moose doesn't make THAT much more of a difference for us to just kick Escobar to the curb and leave our other holes alone. 

Escobar gets the job done and the money would be better off spent on filling actual holes

[floplag]

I think there are those who feel hes already had it, though im not sure i think thats fair.  I grant its a VERY small sample in the bigs with what maybe a total of 70 games or just under half a season, but in that time he has not show n he can come close to hitting ML pitching.
We all know the whole 4A joke... and god knows weve seen enough of those guy in the last decade or more so... idk. I agree he cant do much worse than many weve had and likely upgrades on D.
