Definitely might be a valuable trade asset. Not sure who needs a 1B/DH type but it's worth a look.

1b/dh types have little to no trade value from what i've seen. other teams have plenty of guys they can use there and/or they like to keep that slot open to rotate players in.

I wouldn’t trade Walsh just yet.  I wish Arte would step up.  Which ownership groups will step up in a risky year that also offers opportunities?

Yes but how many of them can also pitch?

I hope we find out how much Arte is planning on spending at the Minasian introductory zoom conference on Tuesday.

I doubt this is publicly revealed.  The focus will be on Minasian and what he intends to build with the Angels, what he will focus on, etc.  Probably a lot of the same stuff we heard him say already on 830 the other day, I would imagine.

From the few interviews Perry has gone since getting hired. The notion that i am getting, is that unless it a special/specific player, don't expect a big prospect involved trade. Which i am fine with. The games all about the young talent, and development. Which perry wants to add/improve.

 

Overall i'm excited about the hiring and looking forward to next season. .

Reading thru these comments, it sound like its OK if Mike Trout never plays in the postseason again and that he finishes his career with just one postseason hit.  I want to hear GM to say we are going to do everything it takes to get to the postseason. I would trade anybody that is not a pitcher. If not, then trade Trout for 17 pitchers and a big bat and start over again. How long do you think Trout will be in his prime? I say he will be in decline by 2024 if not sooner. He will still be very good but greatness fades.  He is a big man and father time is going to take its toll.

How many Eppler leftovers will Perry dump?

Clear the shelves of dated inventory before it rots. Make room for something fresh.

Minasian will do whatever Arte wants.

[Kendo36]

You make a choice between Marsh & Adell. 

[Angel Oracle]

We now know that Arte is keeping the payroll at least the same in 2021, meaning at least $30 million is available to use.

[Dtwncbad]

If I could go back and talk to my younger self about trades, I would tell young Dtwncbad that you can't land a premium player with QUANTITY by just adding more C level bodies.

If you want a premium player and you intend to trade prospects to get that player, the prospects have to also be premium.

So any discussion we all have with the intention of landing a really, really good pitching cannot also rationally include wishful thinking like, "in exchange for any three prospects not named Adell, Marsh, Adams, . . ."

It just doesn't work like that.

If I want a Ferrari, there really is no quantity of 2004 Honda Civics I can trade to make that work.  Someone trading a Ferrari isn't interested in owning a bunch of Honda Civics.

it's probably closer to $20 mil.  At least that's what I'm gonna assume.  If it ends up being 30mil then great.  I'm still skeptical that it would be.

Would you listen?

No.  I didn’t listen to anyone on anything until about 10 years ago.

And I wonder why my 17 year old son doesn’t listen. . .

That’s because you don’t what your talking about... according to your son at least
