Morosi: Halos interested in Tyler Anderson

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Don’t think this is a Craig but Morosi posted this much earlier.  The Dodgers did make a QO to him.  But would you do a 3-year deal for him? 

[TempeAngel]

Yes. Sign him. 3 year deal.

[Docwaukee]

If there's one pitcher that I don't want any part of, it's Tyler Anderson

Let me count the ways

1. Qual offer
2. He's entering his age 33 season
3. He's probably going to require a contract in the 3/60 range 
4. He had a career year at age 32.  His WHIP was 20% lower than in any other season he's pitched.  His HR rate was almost half of his career avg prior to this year.  His BABIP was .256 and his career avg. is .287.  
5. His avg fastball velo is around 90 and he doesn't miss bats.  
6.  If there were a team that had a chance to optimize him, he was already on it.  

There's more but that's enough.  It is so much more likely that he's at best a mediocre innings eater for his next deal than being anything even remotely close to what he was this year I can't even believe it.  Let someone else take the chance that he's reinvented himself and will somehow buck all trends pointing to a huge regression.  Even if he has, he's still in line for a pretty significant regression.  And there is a very real chance of him not even getting through his age 33-35yo season as part of a major league rotation.   

He is basically the Zach Cozart of pitchers in my opinion.  

[Angelsfan1984]

No thanks on Anderson. He’s not impactful enough of a pitcher to give up a pick for.

Guys who can't miss bats all become much more suspect next year with the shift being outlawed.

Can you imagine the Angels losing a draft pick for Tyler Anderson rather than someone like Jacob deGrom, Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodon, Dansby Swanson or Trea Turner

It's the Angels. So yes I can.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Buy at the absolute peak, smart strategy

[Dtwncbad]

It’s not that I think Anderson could not be a productive player for the Angels.  It’s just that I think the money could be better spent on a different player.

I say pass and pursue others instead.

One more thing: low GB rate

Just say noooooooo!

Don’t even think about it, Perry!

Tyler Anderson would be skinny Joe Blanton if the Angels signed him.

he's pretty much Andrew Heaney but a year older and one really good outlier of a season in his history.  

[Angelsjunky]

He's the Kent Bottenfield of 2022. 2.57 ERA; mid-4.00s for five seasons before.

[Erstad Grit]

I really wanted him last year, but think pass this year.

This.  I'd rather bring Syndergaard and Lorenzen back than sign Anderson.  And, what do we need another LH starting pitcher for?

We both compared him to a pitcher of weight.

[Vlad27Trout27]

I think he takes the QA. 19 mil for one year.

...so you're saying the Angels will sign him after they make a competitive, but not enough, offer for deGrom, are rumored to be in on Judge, and had some interest in Rodon. 

[Second Base]

Tyler Anderson = Joel Pineiro.

Well they just signed him right off the bat. They skipped the failed offers.

That we're interested in Senga, and talking to the Rays about trades

Jose Suarez for Yandy Diaz incoming. I've also heard Brujan has fallen out of favor in TB.
