Gibson, 32, will join a new organization for the first time since being drafted by the Twins with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2009 draft. He’s had an up-and-down career to say the least, throwing for a 4.52 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP over 193 career appearances (188 starts) spanning seven seasons. He got off to a solid start in 2019 but ended up with a disappointing 4.84 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP — though on the bright side, he did have a career-high 9.0 strikeouts per nine innings. He was especially unreliable after the All-Star break, posting a 5.92 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP, getting moved to the bullpen in September. With that said, Gibson was affected by ulcerative colitis, and with an offseason to receive treatment and an opportunity for the symptoms to hopefully subside, perhaps he’ll be back to his old self in 2020.

this is why I hate trades.  when it requires another team to match up and buy what you're selling is so tricky.  

The Indians return seems lighter than anything the Angels could have offered but they clearly preferred and coveted Clase which is really a player we don't have.  

While I'm a little annoyed that we couldn't get Kluber for what seemed like a reasonable price, I'm more annoyed that the Angels are now in their current position of having declining options and missing out on some guys that could have been some reasonable adds to help this team.  

Putting all their eggs in the Cole basket and the timing of which was a concern from the start and it seems that it's worked out as we've hoped it would not.

ugh.  relying on trades to improve your team sucks.  So glad that Eppler didn't bite on that.  So bummed he didn't do something earlier in the off season to improve our pitching.  

[Docwaukee]

btw, now we know why the Angels and Billy have spent 8 gillion draft picks on high velo arms the last couple years.

F Mike Chernoff. There's being opportunistic, and there's being just plain stupid.

So they ask Eppler for 2 of our top 10 prospects but take the Rangers’ #30 ranked prospect and a fourth OFer??? GTFO

and that's why prospect lists don't really matter.
