Depends on cost.  

Anything more than 8 million a year is an overpay.

Barria isn't the answer.

Before anyone blames @Chuckster70 for it since he is a Padres fan, I'm the one who posted this Tweet and made the meme. lol

Who ever had the Bullpen getting warmed with Barria at 30 some pitches.

Good tweet. I'm guessing others will jump on the Padres bandwagon in an effort to root against the Dodgers in what is a disastrous Angels season.

Damn! Is Pujols EVER gonna hit that home run?

Jaime Barria being pulled already is a weak ass move by Joe

Maddon is a lot like Fat Mike. Taking his starting pitchers out way too early and not letting Trout steal bases (clueless by Maddon). Also, Fletcher should be stealing more bases but he’s not.

Did Salmon ever hit that one he needed?

Trout is really piling up the strikeouts.

[JustATroutFan]

Trout with 3 K's against a pitcher who he has owned. I think the world is really going to end now.

Blind squirrel (Gonzales) found a nut today against a guy who he has called "Daddy". 

[eligrba4ever]

I'm sure getting a whiff of the kind of day Mike Trout has had so far. Oh dang that Gonzales anyway.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

l wonder what a day at the Long Beach training site is like?

Is it the same thing everyday?

He wasn't allowed to, Scioscia didn't let him bat.

[Angelsjunky]

So much for Trout's slump being over. A poor last couple games.

Trout has the green light.  So idiot Trout is not stealing bases because he knows it pisses off guys that are only fans of his.  Can someone please quote this so he can see it.

17 outs in a row since Upton.
