Puello claimed by Rays

[zenmaster]

Didn't see this posted yet. He had a nice one game career with us!

 

[TroutField]

He had a pretty prolific run down in Salt Lake. They really need to find a new AAA team, having a ballpark that is so different than the one in Anaheim makes the transition to the majors even more difficult.

[Chuck]

This pissed me off.

[Angel Oracle]

Meanwhile, the Halos have Maybebin and his 15-103 backing up Revere.

Marvelous

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Remember when the board wanted to resign Maybin for next year?

Saw this out of the corner of my eye I and thought maybe through the biggest waiver claim mistake in baseball history, the Rays had somehow claimed Pujols.

I guess the Angles were lucky they had Maybebin today against  Baltimore.

I think that was after the board wanted Revere DFA'd for Eric Young Jr.

I've been driving the Revere wagon all by myself all year

He has to be added to the 25 man roster, which the 4 outfielders are far better on the roster. If not he has to pass through waivers to go to the minors , so we could claim him back.

Just frustrated at how often the guy gets hurt.   If he could just stay healthy for a season for a change.   That has to be why he has struggled since the latter part of June.

Puello put up HOF numbers with the Angels.

[Chuck]

It's really not what he did with the Angels, although in his major league debut with us he had an RBI single and two SB's. 

It's more of what he did over the course of the season in AAA, slashing .327/.377/.526 with 13 HR and 18 SB.

If they knew that they would most likely lose him, or that there was even a chance by bringing him up just for one game only to send him down and through waivers, why bring him up in the first place?

I'm guessing that the Angels brass along with the Rangers who also released him earlier this year know something we don't. Just a guess.

[Angel Oracle]

I wonder if there is some undisciplined in his game.

Much was made of his 2 SBs in that one game coming only due to bad throws, that he may be a bit reckless?

[JarsOfClay]

I agree with Chuck, it's stupid to call him up, only to lose him to waivers, wtf were they thinking?

We shouldnt risk losing young talented outfielders when our LF situation is a black hole every year.

It's not like Maybin or Revere are anything special, and both probably wont return next year.  Stupid stupid move.

the Puello and Pujols threads were right on top of one another and my brain wanted to see that Pujols was claimed by the Rays.  

[Jeff Fletcher]

I assume he was going to be a minor league FA at the end of the season.

I know what you mean, Doc.

And for all we know he got the "don't steal" sign twice.

Racist.

sorry, not possible. we have people here who know absolutely everything. just ask them and they'll tell you.

[Angelsjunky]

Do the Rays just get him for free, or do they have to send someone or something the Angels' way? I forgot how waivers work.
