Angels acquire Luis Guillorme from the Braves for PTBNL/cash - place Rendon on 60-day IL

[Duren, Duren]

This could have originally been a one for one trade for Herget but I guess they wanted to stretch out the suspense. 

I wonder which team will actually pay more for these reclamation projects? Or if performance factors in. 

Seriously, just low level baseball roster tinkering. Angels  dire need for  any experienced middle infielder.  Braves with a basically free pitcher who once was serviceable. 

I suppose Perry thinks it"s too early in the season to feed the perception that the team has given up and will just bring up prospects. Ready or not.

Maybe, but would even a casual fan think these moves are to keep the team in contention?

Rendon was transferred to the 60 day DL to make room.

After reading the news, Rendon is now out indefinitely because his eyes exploded and heart stopped working.

tough luck

[ScottM]

This is the worst active roster the angels have had in a long time

[fan_since79]

Don't worry, Anthony will be back next March in the best shape of his life.

Who says it's to their detriment? Angels need to find out sooner rather than later if guys like that can contribute, so I'm fine with "sooner" being now. 

Its not like they are 18 year olds.  Its time to either call them up or move on.

And it’s been stupid since the second time it was ever said.

I think he's probably of French descent, but most Japanese people, myself included, don't know how to pronounce “Guillorme” correctly in English.

He's of Spanish descent, though was born in Venezuela.  His name is pronounced Gee-YOR-may.

one look at this roster, and that's why i can't get pissed at the players or the manager when the halos inevitably lose. 

i think perry's hands are tied by arte. i think this is all arte's doing and that the blame falls squarely on him. 

sell the team, arte.

This doesn't fit neatly anywhere, but didn't necessarily feel like it deserved its own thread...But I was just thinking about all these random guys the Angels have been picking up recently.  None of them can be optioned without passing them through waivers, so I'll be curious to see what happens when some of the injured guys start coming back.  It might not even be an issue, since it's entirely possible that they'd all pass through waivers unclaimed--but as far as I can tell, Calhoun, Tucker, Guillorme, Adrianza, Pillar, and Fulmer are all out of options.

They're just collecting a paycheck as our guys come off the DL they will be DFA'ed or flat out released.

These scrubs aren't staying, they're serving a purpose... 30-60-90 at bats and back to obscurity! 

It's 1980! Again....

Right, but my point is that if there are more injuries down the line, we might have to go through this same process again with different randos.

Agreed, who's left on the Waiver Wire?
