AngelsWin.com Podcast Episode 10

[Chuck]

We made it to Episode #10!!! Victor Rojas, Chuck Richter and Geoff Stoddart come down off the high of Episode #9 to discuss the trainwreck that was the prior week against the Dodgers and Rockies. A week so bad that even a historic game by the offense at Coors Field couldn’t make better. We review a busy 4 days by Angels GM, Perry Minasian and what all the moves could mean for the team going forward. And Geoff wraps things up with a shout out to Angels fan Timothy Daniels and his family.

 

[Slegnaac]

Compared to the episode last week, this one felt like it had two off days. 

The one thing we should all agree on is that Perry is not going to just sit and watch what happens like Captain Smith did.

What was the answer to the question of whether Fletcher can be optioned again this season?

At some point the music is going to stop and there won't be enough chairs.

I enjoyed the conversation about Jo O'Dell

Since he was released off the 40-man he now has 3 minor league options.

This is the last year that Fletcher can be optioned. Going on and off the 40-man roster doesn't change the number of options you have.

It's all a moot point once he gets to 5 years of service time. At that point, he could just refuse to be optioned and become a free agent, without giving up his salary. Another team could then pick him up for free.

He began the season with 4 years 111 days. He got about 15 days at the start of the season before he was sent down, and now the clock is ticking again since he's been back. Once you get to 172 days, it goes to the next year. So he's got maybe 40 days left to be optioned.
