What a horrible trade. Holy shit.

Bent the new GM over and had their way...Wow....

Value-wise, before hindsight, I think this is the worst trade in the history of the Franchise.

Somewhere in this thread ... I could of sworn I heard Dipoto laughing out loud.

I miss Dipoto.

****ing disaster.  What on earth is happening right now.

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:06 PM, HeavenlyHalos said:

So.... can we bring back Dipoto please?

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:09 PM, UndertheHalo said:

can anyone please explain how maybe Simmons can be productive bat at some point.

Bring back Dipoto. 

 

Booo! 

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:14 PM, Angelsjunky said:

WOW. Totally crappy. Newcomb is going to be awesome. WTF, Eppler? I loved this is it was Aybar, Ellis, and any other prospect - but you traded away the one really good prospect the Angels have.

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:15 PM, AngelsFaninGA said:

As someone who's followed Simmons since the moment he came up, the guy is a barely replacement level hitter. How good can someone's defense possibly be to justify such a gross overpayment? 

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:16 PM, ArturoMoreno said:

We traded a home grown, fan loved, better performing short stop, our best starting pitching prospect, and another top rated pitching prospect for another short stop who is slightly under performing of Aybar? WTF

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:29 PM, mulwin444 said:

To quote a favorite line by Glenn, Eppler got beat like a soapy dick on this deal. Seriously, it's nice he's awesome defensively but he can't hit his ass with both hands and, by trading your biggest chip, you're further away from actually fixing your glaring offensive problem since you'll rely solely on free agency to address it

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:35 PM, greginpsca said:

Absolutely stupid to give up Newcomb. Ellis i can see. Eppler got friggen HOSED!!!!! This org is stupid!!

Holly **** this is the worst ****ing trade. Scioscia had to have a hand in this.

I am utterly speechless and not in a good way.

Meet your new angels FO:

Sosh found his new Mickey Hatcher, except this time....he's the GM!

I remember messaging with @Adam when this happened and thinking it was the worst deal ever.

Glad we were wrong.

[Mark68]

Some people are REALLLLLLLLLLLLY bored.

[mulwin444]

(Shrugs)

It's why I am not a MLB GM...

[Chuck]

That was great, @Lou. Not only did I boo the trade, I wanted Dipoto back.

I think of all of the responses on the Simmons trade, mine was the worst now looking back. 

[Troll Daddy]

Wow somebody has way too much time on their hands  lol  Although, I wish you posted my comments supporting the trade and yes there were the idiots who knew no better  lol

I'm a baseball fan first but only support the Angels of course ... now go away

If you're bored but want to be enlightened by two of our top 10 prospects, watch our interviews with Jahmai Jones and Griffin Canning. They're fantastic!

I wasn't too sad to see Aybar go. Newcomb? Well, that was a head scratcher at the time. Simmons, I knew nothing about, so I don't recall commenting on the thread.

[SantaAnafied]

Since it’s an off day...why don’t we talk about the upcoming draft and who we think the Halos should select with their first pick...what do you think our biggest need is? I’m think with our first pick ( if by blessed by the heavens ) RHP Kumar Rocker falls to us...kids been lights out this year...high 90s FB with a wicked breaking ball when on point

Get SS locked up for another 5yrs and he is a stellar defender.

Outstanding. 

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:01 PM, GOPSnowflakesHateCezero said:

I think this is a very good deal. 

 

On 11/12/2015 at 4:05 PM, HaloCory22 said:

I'm fine with this deal. Simmons for 5 more years with A++ defense is much better than anything Aybar provides. Prospects are not a guarantee. Nuke has a great chance of being a front of the rotation guy in 3-5 years. I think this means we're going hard after FA pitchers. Price, Greinke, Zimm, Cueto, etc. Makes no sense to trade these two pitchers and not go all in on FAs.

I think I'm one of the biggest Aybar fans on the board and I'm sad to see him go. But holy shit am I excited for Simmons

The fact that AW hates this trade from the get go means it will be a rousing success for the Halos.

I love that the remedy offered for this horrible trade was to sign Heyward.

[bloodbrother]

At least I didn't suggest that....otherwise, guilty as charged....I do think Newcomb can still turn out to be a good pitcher....we'll see...

No, thanks. I have people for that already.

So get to work.

[HaloCory22]

Ahhh finally! One of my trade thoughts aged well. Thanks, @Lou

 

Please don't go back any further and dig up old ones... No reason.
