I mean, both things can be true. And they are.

But people will forget about it and jump on the next thing Heyman or Boob tweet, because OMG NEWS!

I missed that part, apologies. 

That said, you only trade off guys if you have a replacement. So that means Detmers and Rodriguez need to be ready to step in later this summer. 

People are so sensitive and quick to jump down each others throats. Thanks for acknowledging your mistake.

Why wouldn't those guys be ready? The Angels could definitely bring up some guys to fill in whichever ones they trade away. Remember, if they are out of the race, they are simply seeing what these young guys may or may not have. It won't matter if they struggle. It will also be time to give guys a flyer like they did with Lincecum and others in the past. Pick up some SP off waivers or whatever. Again, Trout and Rendon and Fletcher and whatever kind of send off Pujols gets will still be here to keep fans either going to the ballpark(if that's a thing) or watching them on TV. It will also be a chance to advertise the "young future" playing so fans will have that to look forward to too.

Seems to be a good thing that I haven't fully figured it out yet. It's probably for the best.

Stay far away. Best decision I ever made.

Pretty bummed right now. Consecutive years aces were available and we got 1 year end of the rotation guys. 

[Dtwncbad]

You don’t need Twitter.  Basically every site or news channel reports from what gets tweeted so why do you need to scroll through Twitter?

Also, you don't trade a Bundy, Heaney, Quintana and Cobb (others with an expiring contract) unless you have someone to step in and replace them at the same or higher level if the team is competing. 

Like others have said, I'd rather the team win and have a chance in Sept/Oct. 

He said if they were not in it.  Why would you NOT try to trade your pending FAs at the deadline if you were out of the race?!?  Lay off the guy.  Read what he actually says rather than jump on his ars so quickly.  I'm sure he wants to win too.  But if we're toast at the deadline -- you sell the pieces that you are losing to FA (unless you can extend them or you don't get more than the comp pick for guys you plan to offer).

[beatlesrule]

Weren't there reports that Bauer wanted to be the one to make the announcement where he signed? I wonder if he would renege on the deal if the Mets or whatever team signs him reports it first or it gets leaked to a reporter.

Relax. He apologized.

I get that. I wanted Bauer, but I understand why we passed on him.

I'm definitely not a fan of the pitching acquisitions though. Quintana was fine as a secondary piece, but he ended up being the main piece. Not good.

Still hoping to add a reliever. Bullpen could be pretty good this year tbh.

Talking to the admin like that.

Very happy we’re not throwing $30 + mil a year at Bauer
 

his pandering is hopefully over 

time to focus on the season

the division is wide open. Bauer wasn’t worth the money or years

[Turd Ferguson]

I wouldn't mind adding Rosenthal. If we are talking about raising floors, adding depth to the pen could be a way to offset the lack of an "ace." 

[CanadianHalo]

Perry better have a real move or trade left up that sleeve

Let him lead the Angels in starts as the opener.

I'm sure Chuck is a big boy and can take criticism and discussion.  It's valid too.  I run a business -- but people are encouraged to give their opinions and call me on things (ego stroking and butt kissing does nobody any good).

Please don't ever compare someone who actually did something to Boob, again.
