Did I miss something where Bundy was traded to the Twins.  I guess Heyman prematurely tweeted?

Don't see that anywhere. Not from our Twitter at least.

Oh I didn't see it. I think John deleted that because I can't find it now.

Both John and I got fooled by troll accounts on Twitter today. 

Bravo trolls!

@Stradling @Chuckster70 Yep, I was fooled by a parody Angels PR twitter account, good stuff. I was in the middle of a work meeting right as the trade deadline ended and wanted be on top of things.

Narrator: "John was not, on top of things"

 

I deleted the tweet pretty quickly after, although a couple people took notice and had a good laugh at our expense.

They better not. They need to use that money for starting pitching. 

Let Barreto, Rengifo and Jones battle it out for 2B and move Fletcher to SS. 

Sign Bauer and Stroman. 

Yes and yes.

There you go, Chuck, your next poll question to post. "Will Simmons steal $17+M that the Angels could have used for pitching?"

[Stradling]

I don’t think Simmons will command $17 million a year.  I think you can get him for around $12 for 3 years or so.  So if you can trade for one starter, and sign a Stroman or Bauer you can probably compete next year.  

[Vlad27Trout27]

In regards to Simmons. I think we have a good chance of re-signing him. Just from the Trade market there didn't seem to be a big need for a Ss, and I would assume the same in free agency, espcially when the following year's free agency will be loaded with Ss.I do not see him getting anything more than 10 mil a year.

I think Simmons bat will be above average and the defense will be there atleast in his ealry 30s. Offer a 2yrs 14 -16 mil contract and option for the 3rd year... 30 mil over 3 years.
