You and others keep saying this, but it's still a pretty naive/limited way of looking at it.  Yes, the general consensus seems to be that the Angels farm system was and is weak--but it's still better to have a volume of marginal+ prospects than to trade them for a bunch of dudes who you put on waivers a few weeks later.  If nothing else, keeping some of those guys would have simply helped the depth of the system.

I don't disagree with you that it would have been better to sell, I just disagree with the notion that let's just say our top 30 is significantly weaker than it was before the deadline.  Outside of Quero, and maybe Bush, though he is trending in the wrong direction, the chances of the guys we moved out being productive major leaguers is about as likely as the guys who replaced them.

Eventually these bad times will end and the other teams will suffer for it.
