So save the kids and then spend the kids at the trade deadline.

Yes, when you can get a better deal.  Right now it might cost us three of them, then it might be only 1 or two at most.  
Make the right deal at the right time dont force one now and get fleeced.

If the Dodgers wanted him, they would have already made an offer.  In fact, during the Winter Meetings, Ryu was quoted as saying that his people haven't heard from the Dodgers even once.

Profit. 

 

Edit:  forgot Miley singed with Reds...  man theres just not a lot oeft at this point ...  i guess go for Teheran and the durability/innings.  
Weve waited for too long to make a move at this point, Epp better have a rabbit in his hat. 

Everytime I see “Weve” I think

Boyd: 
- Another issue is that before last year, his K rate was starkly lower than the 11.56% he posted in 2019 - it ranged from 6.75 in his rookie season (2015) to 8.40 in 2018; it did, however, imrpove each year
- Also concerning is his HR/FB rate went to a career worst 18.2 after 10-12% the previous 3 seasons (in 2015, in 57 ip, it was 17.7)

He gave up significantly fewer fly balls last year though. xFip would tell you the homerun problem is not likely to repeat itself.

Trade for Boyd..sign Alex Wood and Taijuan Walker to 1 yr incentive laden contracts with a clean bill of health. Sign a few veteran relievers to minor league contracts with invite to Spring Training. That would leave them about 15 million under the luxury tax threshold for a catcher or the likes of Nick Castellanos if they want to truly make their batting order elite.

Just curios is Felix Pena not a option as a spot starter next season. Is he injured or out of options? I thought he pitched decently at times.

I think he is out for most of 2020, I believe he had TJ surgery late last year.

I think it was an leg injury.

That's right, I just found out the problem, he was put on the 60 day DL with a torn ACL on August 5th.  I don't know exactly what the recovery timeframe is likely to be.

Per google, 6-9 months. That would put him between ready for ST on time to early May.

Last Eppler mentioned he was doing pretty well. I’m not sure if that means ahead of schedule or not.

That proves nothing. It is just speculation by the writer. Come on now.

[Angel Oracle]

Pena is best used as a spot starter/long reliever.   He looks dominant at times, and hittable other times.

[HaloRed]

I like Rich Hill. 

He's still under 1000 IP though pushing 40.  He's turned out to be a late-bloomer with quite a trend since 2016, 4-1 last year with 2.45 ERA before a non-arm injury held him up.  The Angels probably have the best lineup in baseball assembled now, hands down, enhanced by Adell coming up, especially. 

Sliding Ohtani down without the current pressure by the depth chart shown is key.  Teheran was a good signing to add to their rotation there.  Great arm with career average 6IP for quality starts as a bridge to strong bullpen opportunity.  

Heaney, Teheran, (Hill), Ohtani, Canning, Bundy...the pressure is even more off on Ohtani now if they were to sign Hill.  The Angels have been forced season after season with changing their looks as they've waited for healing as it is, quality starts is all that is needed to start off, with making rounds deeper into 2020.

under 1000 innings because he's always injured.  he's averaged 14 starts/yr over the last 6 years.

He is out until June.
