Not unless we're willing to include Maitan.

Upton, Maitan and we can throw in Pujols to sweeten the deal.

I've gotta have a LITTLE more value than him. Cuz I don't have a big contract over head.

I don't think I'll ever look at this thread again.

But all-in-all the Angels are stacked with outfield options. Wonder if it's a way to fill in for Upton should something happen with his knee...... Or toe.

Trout, Upton, Fowler, Jay, Lagares, Ward, Schebler, Adell and Marsh. 

WOW

Upton barely makes the Dodgers bench. I also doubt they want a bad defensive LF'er.

Remember halos be taking back some of his contract also NL could still get DH. Halos also. could throw in a prospect, Rengifo or Ward. Just thinking about Price as another pitcher.

They have a lot of quantity but not a lot of quality.

There's a reason Jay, Lagares, and Schebler signed minor league deals and there's a reason why they had to acquire Fowler and not bring up Adell or Marsh.

People really have to stop including Upton in any trade scenarios.

Really like our OF depth now with Trout, Upton, Fowler, Ward, Lagares, Jay, Adell, and Marsh.  Should prevent us from ever having to play some of the crap we had play OF for us since 2015.

I agree.  Jay looks kinda washed up though, but that said, we have more than enough depth now.  Adell and Marsh should spend most of the year in AAA and properly develop.

Upton was vintage Upton a majority of last season.  He was just a steaming pile of shit the 1st 18 games.  After that (24 games) he was pretty great, .981 OPS.  

That's like saying he was good when he didn't suck.

Yes and he was great longer than he really sucked last year.

I disagree, you will look many times

Jon Jay not bad for a ST invitee flyer.

decent depth type bench player - decent defensive outfielder - once had some speed.

some power but not overwhelming.  

clearly a bench depth guy if he makes the roster - assume there is plenty of competition.

what's the regular season roster limit this season?  26 ? or 28?  whether Jon Jay can make the opening day MLB roster may well depend not that decision - why do I think its 26 instead of 28,. Not sure.

at this point in his career would Jay agree to be a 4-A player - probably not but maybe,
