I guess the Angels only need to purchase one more tent for the newly acquired players?

On the surface this seems like a pretty good trade.  What’s the catch?

The catch is that guys like Cishek, Quijada and Hoyt continue to be the ones actually called up and used.

It’s only four, could they be fit in someplace?

Good point. I’m sure if they were really team players, they would problem solve.

Selman had a sick 2019 season, mostly in AAA.

AA/AAA numbers that year:

55.1 innings, 28 hits, 17 BBs, 94 Ks, 1.80 ERA, 0.81 WHIP

Control had gotten a lot better in 2019, but control issues returned somewhat this season.

Watson since being traded: 7 appearances, 7 1/3 innings, 2 hits, no BB, 7 K, no runs.

Watson was better than the numbers showed...he got torched for 6 ER in one game and 4 ER in another, but in outside of that in his other 33 innings he had a 1.91 ERA, 17 hits allowed, 13 BB, 25 K, 2 HR...34 of his 36 games (94%) as an Angel. When you get rocked in two relief games it and pitch that little it really inflates numbers.

Definitely a good move to make though considering the return, even if none of the three pan out. The ~15-20IP he would have contributed the rest of the way wouldn't have moved the needle enough.

Let’s bring up Marte and see what he has for next year.

I'm extremely tired of Junior Guerra.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting that they should have kept him.  I was very much in the "trade everyone whose contract is expiring" camp. I just happened to notice his numbers, so I posted them.  This is a lost season, so I couldn't care less if he was still with the team.

WTH does Maddon see in Guerra?

I hear you.  But have you experienced the extremes of managers in life?  Some believe in you and listen and some don’t give a crap.

How would we know what Maddon sees?
