The PTBNL worries me a bit - I suspect Brandon Marsh. Obviously it can't be Adell or any of this year's draftees - unless it is much later, and I don't think it will be Jones (fuck that). Maybe Elvin Rodriguez? Ryan Vega? Someone on that level of prospect: not top, but promising.

 

If it's Marsh then the Angels come out huge losers in this trade unless they win the World Series

This is the guy the Angels should have got 2 years ago.  I'm thrilled.

If he enjoys his time here and the Angels make it to the playoffs, it gives the Angels the inside trade to re-signing him.  Not something they have to do, but something that could happen.

That was my first thought....you bump him some but not something crazy....and if he wants to stay, he'll stay....would question whether the market would be huge for him....but youneverknow....

they already said NOT Jones, and that it was a "lesser player" so it will probably be a fringe guy a long way off if they are going into rebuild mode

They're saying it's a low level ptnl if that's so it's not Marsh.

The PTBNL is a lower level guy.

If the Tigers are having a flash sale, I say the Angels should get Kinsler too.

Kinsler hell, get Verlander....

hell get the trifecta   

Seriously though i think Cowarts future is as a 2B due to his bat.  We can absorb the lower hitting there better than 3B i think.

If history is any indication, it's going to be Adell, Meyer, and Jones to Detroit.

And they'll all be busts

With his opt out in play. How motivated will this guy be to perform during a pennant race and possible playoff appearance. I love this.

They changed that rule.  Current year draftees can be traded after the world series in the same year they were drafted, rather than a year after they signed.

So, what do we do with Revere and Maybin, both who have been playing pretty well.

Maybin has been beyond awful since the end of June...

If I see Trout at leadoff I'll choke a bitch.

You think MLBers need motivation to perform? Except Hamilton of course.

[Chuck]

I'd see about sending Cowart and something else to the Braves for Brandon Phillips.

i think Simmons should be leading off personally

[nate]

Who is this guy that they gave up in the trade?  Any good?

There is the answer to when anybody bitches about Pujols or Hammy contract, and the reply comes back "not my money".

[Lou]
