DFA Quintana and Slegers

[failos]

I was never OK with the Quintana signing and today he proved how worthless of a player he really is.

Slegers is just as worthless.

 

time to dump these guys. They don’t belong on a big league team.

[tdawg87]

I mean, surely there's 2 guys who could use a look over these two? We're essentially auditioning for 2022 so why are we still throwing Quintana and Slegers out there? We know exactly what they are.

Give me literally anything else. 

[Stradling]

The only reason I am somewhat ok with releasing these guys is we have so many guys that have to be on the 40 man roster next year.  What I don’t want is for us to have bullpen games by design.  I don’t want to rush a guy to the big leagues where it has a chance to stunt real development.  We already have three of our starters down with injuries, so keeping Quintana to throw out there once a week isn’t the end of the world if it keeps the innings down for guys with actual potential.  Either way in a season like this I don’t care.

All I can think of is the team is being cautious with innings on young arms and by the beginning of September Quintana and perhaps others will get a chance to get paid for playing golf. But I agree this is the time to see what’s there prospect wise.  Not making the playoffs so what’s the worst that can happen?  We lose more games (we might win more, actually) and our spot in the draft improves.

I agree with this. The season is going nowhere and it does not hurt the Angels to run those guys out there. Winning games at this point is pointless. It just sucks for the fans having to watch them.

Not sure what Quintana’s problem was today.    He was pitching solidly out of the pen.

Slegers plain reeks!   Alert Ripley’s if he ever has a 1-2-3 inning.

Keep Quintana, who cares if he sucks, he still has value to us in filling for our young starters who either get hurt or just start getting shelled at the major league level.  Need to have a couple innings eaters around to mop up if nothing else

His issue is shitty pitching ability

3.86 ERA as a reliever, 6.84 as a starter….

And a 19/3 Ks/BBs ratio in the pen, total opposite of his starter numbers

[TheLordofOuts]

We should just use them whenever the team plans on scoring 13 runs. 

[HaloBronco]

Actually have to agree he hasn't been that bad out of the pen. However he has proven he's a disaster as a starter.

Well, he only lasted an inning and a third today, so…

[HanfordGuy]

Tough to watch those two out there today…

I figured it out:

Make Slegers a starter and Quintana a reliever. ALCS here we come.

This thread is a disappointment.  I was hoping it was an actual announcement.

I have a feeling we won’t see Quintana again.  Probably not what I would do but I’d get it.

This was a clear situation of setting up the young guys for a comeback. To show them how to come back from 10 runs down. THis is all about development. WE should all have a Quintana in our work place to prepare us for the worst.

Sorry. I tried to make sure the thread title wasn’t framed that way.

[Turd Ferguson]

Can we change the title to "DFA Guerra" and just pick back up where we left off?

Not as far as you know.
