Wil Myers

Throwing some fresh meat into the pen....

Go!

Yes.  Wil Meyers is a guy with a great tool set who’s still pretty young.  He’s had injury issues but if he could ever be healthy he’s an easy all star.

Definitely interested, what would San Diego's motivation be though? They're a little light on OF prospects to go with their ridiculous farm, but why would they move a fairly productive, affordable, young player who fills a need?

Refresh your knowledge of Wil Myers. 

I am going to let you guys at this one for a while before I chime in. I think he's an interesting guy who could be viewed a lot of ways.

Pro's: He's a 1B/3B combo they are in the market for right now

          He's signed through 2022

          He's got power, speed and can draw a walk

Con's: Health is a bit a of a question

           His value for the Angels will lie in his ability to play an adequate defensive 3B, that's still up for debate

           His 109 lifetime OPS+ is showing his "decent" numbers are not a product of PETCO

I'm on board if the price is not too heavy in terms of prospects as the Angels would be on the hook for $22.5 mil per season starting 2020 for a guy that has yet to prove he's worth that kind of money.

[Chuck]

If he can play 3B and they won't require a top-5 prospect from us, I'd do it. 

Do you think they would take Cozart and Ward for Myers?

[mtangelsfan]

Meh

[m0nkey]

Is jeff fletcher really @loriasucks1?

They might...Myers is owed $67,500,000 from 2020 - 2022.  They may want the salary relief but that obviously puts us on the hook for another "Upton-esque" contract for three seasons.

[Dtwncbad]

I don't see any reason to believe he won't be the same underwhelming player he has been for the last few years.

Everyone expected him to settle into being a dangerous offensive player and it hasn't really happened.

He has 4 years $63m left on his contract.

Would you sign him to a 4/63 deal if he was a free agent??

Pass.

Myers at Petco:

.216 BA

.278/.381/.659

Myers away from Petco:

.288 BA

.343/.515/.858

If we are going to look for a target, Eugenio Suarez.

27 yrs old.  Solid as it gets.  Under contract through 2024.

It is reasonable to believe he would be a solution at 3rd base for the next 5 years.

I am perfectly willing to trade something of value for him.

He isn't a rental, he isn't expensive, and he plays a position of need.

I would give them Jones or Marsh, Ward, and one of the pitchers in the Angels 10-15 ranking range.

[Barrett]

I saw him play in San Diego. He was a highly regarded prospect, but the guy is meh...Guy doesn't walk and barely hits. Maybe he is a good fielder but I am not a fan of him. He plays in the weaker NL as well. No thanks.

Start your own thread!

[Vlad27Trout27]

20 mil for three years is alot of money for a guys that isn't worth that much.

If the Pads are willing to include a few if there top prospect and or eat the salary than its worth looking at

Where are you getting his OBP numbers? The guy has a 310 OBP this year and a career 328 OBP.

Sorry.  But while I am at it, I am a huge fan of Daniel Murphy.  That guy would fit the Angel roster every which way you slice it.

No spring chicken but he is a player.

They're home road splits for this year

Back when the internet was new, the aol chat rooms were popular.  You enter a room called "Ford vs. Chevy" to talk about cars.

For fun my friends and I would go into these chat rooms and accidentally drift into a conversation about, say, needlepoint.

The room would bark us around telling us to leave but we would just calmly continue the conversation.

The goal was to see if we could fully clear the room (everyone but us leaves) with no hostility, no swearing and never breaking character that we legitimately were interested in needlepoint.

I have never ever laughed harder than some of those times.

The good old days.

I don't understand how this guys splits can be that crazy. Seeing him in person I am just not that impressed.

He's a solid player for sure, but San Diego is looking to contend VERY VERY soon.

 

I don't see much motivation for them to move him.
