Stand pat - too many variables

Thoughts on Goodwin & Adell to Cleveland for Plesac and let's say, the 3 best arms they are willing to let go?

shit i'd do that in a heartbeat, especially if the prospects are actually prospects.

If we could get Plesac and a couple of promising arms I’d consider it.

42 at bats in and we’re ready to send Adell packing. I guess he didn’t impress.

Rooting for Connor Seabold. I have never met him, but I'm friends with his cousin and his dad who often attends Kings game. Connor is a huge Halos (and Ducks) fan. Seems like he does well enough in the minors but I guess for every pitcher we think are crap in the majors, they're still in the majors for a reason.

[GrittyVeterans]

I don’t know if I’d sell low on Adell right now. He got screwed by not having a minor league season.

the Angels should be looking to sell La Stella, Goodwin, and Bundy 

Other than that I stand pat. We’re in a shitty situation

[bloodbrother]

They wouldn't be selling low on Adell. His value is still sky high despite his poor start because teams aren't gonna think too much over a 60 AB sample size.

[AngelStew43]

I'd consider Goodwin and Adell for Plesac and Clevenger.  I would also throw in Barria, but not Sandoval.  Sandoval is going to be a good 3-4-5 starter.

I could see the Angels getting some hits on Felix Pena and Ty Buttrey...

I saw an article on the Athletic by Jim Bowden (I know) where he - purely speculating - offered up a deal of Brandon Marsh to Toronto for SS Jordan Groshans. They’re heavy on IF prospects and need OF help. Obviously, moving Marsh for pitching makes more sense with the SS prospects we have and Fletcher and Rengifo on the club, but I thought it was an interesting thought. I wonder if something like Marsh and Goodwin for Groshans and a SP like Trent Thornton or Anthony Kay? SS prospect for the future, OF help for the Jays, and another serviceable controlled starter?

Mays did struggle at first in his rookie season (1951) in starting off 1 for 27, at the same age (20) as Adell.

Trout also struggled at the plate in 100+ at bats in 2011, also at age 20.

He might be a good FA signing.

The TJS was 3 years ago, and he now seems to be pretty much back to where he was as a solid closer?

I Think Pena should also be looked at as a solid trade peiece. Signed til 2024, He can starts and be a dominate peice in a Bp. 

Workman and Hembress, were able to get a solid, i mean a really good return, for two guys that era's over 4.

Hey maybe we should give our prospects to Dipoto's Mariners since Eppler didn't sign Walker when he could have via FA this winter. 

Thoughts, @Lou?

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal says the Mariners are "getting hits on potential free-agent right-hander Taijuan Walker and others."

Walker is perhaps a perfect target for contending teams, a free-agent-to-be who's pitched decently well in five starts this year for the rebuilding Mariners, posting a 4.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 25/8 K/BB ratio over 27 innings of work. Health has long been the 28-year-old's bugaboo, but he's also managed to stay on the mound to this point this year. With the trade deadline set for August 31, Walker will likely have at least one more chance to impress suitors before the deadline.

Lou will wait for Walker to have a bad game to reply, then you'll wait for him to have a good game to issue your rebuttal.

Chuck said we have to wait until the season is over to visit this subject. 

That being said, lol @ "but he's also managed to stay on the mound to this point this year."  It's been a whopping FIVE games. In a normal season, that's like applauding him for staying healthy through the middle of May.

Impressive.

Last year Cahill made his 6th start for the Angels on April 25th.

Oh trust me, I will revisit. Or should I say, bump! 

Eppler has no idea how to assemble a solid pitching staff. 

He got lucky with Bundy. 

[Chuck]

Tristan McKenzie's solid debut today should really motivate the Indians to deal one of Clevinger or Plesac. 

Make it happen, Eppler. 

Also, what an amazing debut for the kid.
