How would everyone feel with a rotation of: Ryu, ohtani, Teharan, heaney, Bundy, canning

 

[totdprods]

Sure. Really at this point almost any two arms would be fine. 

[Tyler]

HR derby for the opposing team.

[Angels_Fan]

No thanks. Teheran isn’t the answer. And Ryu can’t be relied on to stay healthy. 

[kevinb]

I really worry about NL pitchers coming to the AL

[tdawg87]

I don't see us signing two pitchers. Ryu is probably just as likely as Keuchel at this point but I think Eppler makes a trade. 

[eaterfan]

Depending on the deals, I think that's great. I think it gives the Angels depth in the rotation and allows them to go after a salary dump pitcher in a trade during the season.

The Angels need good pitchers and depth. Quality over quantity.

If Teheran can be had for Roark money (someone like a 2/$22-$24 mil), sure.  He's good for 30 starts/175 innings a year.

Ryu for 4/$88-$100 mil or Keuchel for 4/$70 -$80 mil

Castro on a 1 year deal and team is looking pretty good.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I feel like Teheran is overlooked.

• entering age 29 season.
• career 3.6 ERA (still solid lately too)
• Highly durable (30+ starts each of last SEVEN seasons)

Teheran I’m cool with

Depends how cheap Teheran is. Even a trade target will have some money involved. 

[floplag]

No, i would not.  IF were going after Ryu fine, but i think Kuechel is a far better fit that Teheran.
Get Ryu and Kuechel and were good.

True, but I think Eppler is targeting cost-controlled starters.

Nearly everything is an improvement over last year. Both those guys can get us into playoff contention and probably won't cost enough to lock them into being our long term answers. It maintains flexibility. There are no pitchers out there who are going to move the needle enough right now. Why not try to make cheap incremental improvements and hope we can get a steal during the season. What happens if 2 teams separate themselves in the AL East? Maybe Boston is looking to give away Sale. Maybe Tampa would part with one of their pitchers. Maybe the Mets fall out of contention in the NL East or Cleveland in the AL Central. There will be teams looking to add pitchers, there always are, but how many could take on $15-20 million a year? I think I'd rather take my chances with Ryu or Keuchel and a really cheap flier on Teheran then swinging a trade during the season than I would with signing both Ryu and Keuchel for pretty big money.

“Angels are still looking to add more pieces this offseason, especially with the rotation and at catcher. Eppler said they could add up to two more starting pitchers, but likely not two free agents, as one would have to come via trade in that scenario.”

[failos]

I'd be ecstatic. Honestly. I just don't want them to go the peanut route.

[Chuck]

Ryu or Keuchel and Teheran I'm down with.

[mulwin444]

Neither Ryu, Keuchel, nor Teheran cost a draft pick or slot money so I think it's a pretty good guess we grab at least one of these guys. 

[Angels_Fan]

Teheran’s results look like smoke and mirrors. He had a 5-6+ ERA in 3 months last season. The month where he had a 0.98 ERA, he allowed 15 walks to 19 strikeouts in 27 innings with a high fly ball % He just seems like the kind of pitcher who will have it all catch up to him eventually. And this isn’t the same Teheran from 2013-2016 regardless.

[2112]

Any ground ball pitchers out there?  I know they're aren't sexy but with an infield of Rendon/Simmons/Fletcher there would be a lot of outs recorded.

[jchalos89]

Ryu is a big nono. If Angels sign Ryu for 4 years, he will spend 2 years on DL.

He's never repeating 2019 season again.

Someone sees it.

i find that curious as both should fit in the funds pending who they are of course.
Ive said all along i think we make on trade for one piece of the off season puzzle, i expected it to be a catcher myself.  well see i guess
