Let me just try to explain.

Many always say the Angels front office is stupid compared to all these other brilliant front offices.

Many of these other brilliant front offices pay prices that Angel fans say are outrageous.

Do you see the point?

Yes, fans are idiots.  This has long been understood.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

I wonder if the FO has had any contact with San Diego about Cobb.  San Diego missed out on Scherzer and Berrios and some of the other guys being mentioned as possible targets for them haven't been as good as he has this year.

So you see my point does not make me a hypocrite.  Just observing that, once again, Angel fans are seemingly not in tune with the actual market.

[Angel Oracle]

Three hours, Rip Van Minasian!

You’ve also spent a lot of time on here being critical of fans for overvaluing our prospects.  That is why I say you are being a hypocrite.  You wouldn’t trade two top 100 prospects on the Angels for Berrios.  

[zenmaster]

Surprise! Minasian isn't sleeping. Our pitchers with expiring contracts just have little to no value.

[Stradling]

Go to Toronto and offer them Iglesias and Cobb for Pearson.

Incorrect.  I would have traded Adell and another prospect for Berrios.

Well it would have had to be Adell and Detmers in order to compete with the deal they got.

I like how Atlanta still calls them the Indians.

Edit: I mean I guess they still are until after October...

Well, they are the Indians until next season.

You don’t know that.  It could have possibly been a different prospect and Canning or three prospects instead of two.  We don’t know.

What I do know is the Angela are in the sidelines while others are getting what they need.

I like Perry’s angle here

if he’s not “wow’d” with offers for the iglesias’ or Cobb then just hold still. No one wants Heaney (trash). 
 

We really have no one anybody wants. Why would we giveaway players for 24 year olds in double a ?

We hopefully get trout back and maybe make a small run.

Because making the playoffs is a complete longshot and I'd rather get something for the pending free agents than sit around watching the team continuing to struggle to stay at .500.

If no one wants Heaney then freaking dump his ass. There are young pitchers that deserve an opportunity they his spot on the roster carries.

Start their clock?  Why?  We’ve seen first hand the impact of brining up guys too early.

[CanadianHalo]

I still think Iglesias makes the most sense for Toronto if they’re open to a rental.

That bullpen is awful.
