Andrelton Simmons next to be traded?

[Chuck]

My Prediction: Traded to the New York Yankees. 

The Yankees have lost Gleyber Torres for 3-6 weeks and even prior to his injury he's looked nothing close to his 2019 campaign, both offensively & defensively. 

His replacement Tyler Wade is slashing a robust .167/.257/.490 and is nowhere near as good defensively at SS as Simmons. The backup to Wade is Jordy Mercer who isn't worth a bag of gum balls. 

The Return: The Angels land either active RHP Jonathan Loaisiga or one of the following SP prospects: Luis Gil, Luis Medina, Roansy Contreras or Alexander Vizcaino.

I like it, yesterday I imagined him in a Yankee jersey and he looks dope.  I do not love or hate the Yankees just a neutral observation because we are likely to let him go, gotta get used to it.

Yankees need that Jeter like defense and veteran presence at SS and he would be their best hitting SS this season, it all makes sense for them. 

Now to sell this angle and get the most value.

He really wasn’t. That was a narrative among fans and journos who knew jack all about measuring defense. He was flashy and rarely made errors, but his range was mediocre. People look at defensive awards, but those are voted on by people looking at highlights and voting based on rep. Don’t let any of that fool you. He was never an elite defensive SS.

[Angel]

It's a selling point regardless, nobody remembers Jeter as a good or bad defender, but flashy.  Simmons is a little less flashy I guess because he makes things look easier.

[kevinb]

I hope so. Time to sell off all spare parts who are not apart of the future.

Statistically, Jeter was one of the worst defenders ever.

[Angel]

I will admit the majority of Jeter's career is a little bit before my time, I only remember seeing good things about his defense because east coast bias and highlights

[failos]

Eppler will probably trade for another infielder since he’s inept.

Angel appears to not have much baseball knowledge or learned it all from ESPN Sports Center.

Your sentence is redundant. 

[zenmaster]

We need to be trading all the guys with expiring contracts for anything we can get. I just hope we ask for a pitcher back instead of more middle IFers.

Barreto could be starting 2B next year with Fletcher at SS. LaStella be signed in off season to play 1B.

A better 1B than LaStella would be my choice.

You're not very bright, are you?

"... yesterday I imagined him in a Yankee jersey and he looks dope"

I'm wondering if this actually occurred.

We have no idea if Angel is bright but I can tell you the hip he shoots from is pretty dumb.

It's probably the right hip.
