Most upset you ever were about an Angels prospect being traded? (at the time of the trade)

[mmc]

Which prospect were you most upset about the Angels trading away at the time the trade occurred?  Please don't look back in hindsight only focus on how you felt at the time of the trade

I hated the Street trade, but will readily admit I was wrong and it turned out to be a good trade.

He had been in the bigs for a year or two, so he technically he wasn’t a prospect, but I was furious when Buzzie Bavasi traded Carney Lansford… and it turned out badly for the Angels in the long run…Bavasi made some really bad moves, and trading Lansford ranked with the worst (letting Ryan go)…

We already have quite a few DiPoto threads

Not sure it counts as a trade of prospects but the Wells trade is the most obvious. 

Outside of that, I hated the Haren and Kazmir trades and wasn't thrilled about the Simmons trade.

I really thought the Simmons deal was awful…turned out that while Simmons was good for the Angels, he kind of fizzled at the end of his contract…Newcomb, who I hated to give up, is a so-so reliever for the Braves, nothing more….youneverknow….Kaz wasn’t a bad deal, we were desperate for pitching late in a playoff year….Haren deal was a haul for the D’backs…

I think he's just talking PROSPECTS that were traded. 

And if that's the case, I was downright pissed about losing Randal Grichuk and Jean Segura.

Kotchman and Segura.

Kotchman wasn't a prospect.

I still thought he hadn't reached his potential, I was wrong.

Maybe he did.

That trade also gave rise to the "rondons" meme.

that was the Kazmir deal.  He was the PTBNL.

Tom Brunanski & Dante Bichette.

I was really upset when the Angels traded Grichuk away in the David Freese trade.

Jose Rondon

Patrick Corbin

Off the top of my head, Grichuk, Skaggs and Corbin are probably the only times I've been actually upset about the Angels trading away prospects.

There haven't really been all that many of these. I was generally ok with trading Segura for Greinkie, even though I figured it wouldn't work out in the long run, and it certainly went worse than I expected in hindsight.

0.1 WAR in parts of four big league seasons. I guess we finally know how much a rondon is worth.

[beatlesrule]

I was high on Segura and hated that he got traded for only 2 months of Greinke(I would have been okay with it if Greinke was extended). I remember posters here defending the trade and telling me he wouldn't amount to much. Good times.

That trade was worth it for the memes alone.

You are welcome.

Dante Bichette.

Will Wilson.

 

I guess that was more a product of them trading their recent 1st rounder in order to dump a bad contract, but I was still upset about that.
