MLB just pushed out story about how the Padres have their eyes set on a pair of Aces, Scherzer and Berrios.

Cant believe they forgot about Heaney.

Heaney is the Dre of the trade deadline.

Have we officially reached the "Do something!" portion of the trade deadline?

It sucks when you sign on to AW and see a bunch of activity in the Trade Thread only to read the last page and it is about dumb last names and NY.  

There'd be a thread if it involved the Angels.

@mmc is on that shit.

I think we were at that point on June 22nd when this thread was created...

Can we at least sign Dante Bichette Jr and then trade him for Dave Parker Jr?

At least it would be a move.

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Anyone who wouldn’t trade Adell for Berrios straight up is completely out of their mind.

This is just a hunch, but I think the Angels trade Heaney, but not Raisel or Cobb. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think they want to signal to the team that they're throwing in the towel by trading Raisel and Cobb, not unless they are blown away by an offer. They'd really need to get at least one 50 FV prospect for each, and I'm not sure any teams are willing to give that up. Maybe for Raisel, but they might want someone really good (e.g. a 55 FV prospect).

We might see one or two other minor moves - maybe Watson and one or two younger players added to sweeten the deal. So we might, for instance, see Heaney and Ward or Rengifo traded for a couple prospects, in the 40-45 FV range.

Just a hunch, though. 

This is pretty close to what I’ve heard from a couple friends in the org in regards to Heaney being the main push, and less motivation to move Cobb/Raisel.

I've been to New York.  It sucks.  

I feel sad for you guys.

To Lou and Stradling, I don’t know, maybe the arts and music, or maybe the film and theater, or the endless diverse cuisine, the even more diverse range of people, the strange and varied individuals you’ll meet, the shops and museums, the fact that just walking out the door is entertaining, and you never have to drive, etc etc.

NY and Paris are the most overrated cities on the planet. 

Which cities do you like and why?

Can Perry please trade away Cishek?

Someone has got to be fooled by his somewhat respectable ERA.

The power on Adell is so legit.  But it would not be unfair to view him as potentially just a future OK major leaguer because of his defensive limitations and his ongoing swing and miss stats.

Of course, highly talented players can have breakthrough and put their specific vulnerabilities behind them.

But I am just saying Adell at this moment would be a super fair price to pay for Berrios.

I like Barcelona, Edinburgh, Florence ....

New York’s alright.  New York’s alright.  New York’s alright.  If you like saxophones.

A balanced view. Ultimately I'd rather keep Adell, as I believe he'll figure things out and be a star, and I so want to see the Adell-Trout-Marsh outfield that we've been dreaming about for years. But it would be an equitable trade, i think.

Fair enough - those are great cities, too. Sounds like you prefer a smaller city. I generally due, at least for long-term. I probably wouldn't want to live in NY, but would much rather spend a weekend or month there than the shithole that is LA.

Last time I checked Ohio was North of the Mason Dixon line.

Speaking of cities.  They destroyed San Francisco.  It is awful now.

I like beautiful, clean cities. NY does not qualify. 

The people also make a difference. Again, NY doesn't fit the bill. 

And nobody is saying LA isn't a shithole.

I've heard Cleveland rocks.

I was giving him a hard time about the Nintendo part of his post.  I love NY.  I like the energy, the history and Broadway.  As for which cities I like, NY and Rome are probably my favorite I have been to.  Followed closely by Norco.

Oh man, I loved Edinburgh and Florence as well.  You can add those to my list.  

[Angelsjunky]

American cities kind of suck in general, but that's because America is basically a 2nd world country, at least compared to western Europe and parts of Asia.
