Angels trade international money to Mets

[gotbeer]

There has got to be more to this.  Some kind of rule where if you don't spend it, you lose it and get penalized the next year?  Something.

No.

[Second Base]

You gotta be kidding me.  $360,000.  I was expecting 100k maybe for a couple guys that you take a gamble on.  But 360k can get you a pretty good 16 year old prospect down there.

i just looked at julio concepcion minor numbers

 

 

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAAA

[bloodbrother]

One bad decision after another. Please make it stop

[mancini79]

Talk about an over exaggeration, but what's new. It's a low risk trade and $360K won't get a lot with an international player.

[Tyler]

GM me

[The Dude]

Maybe these guys will turn out to be something useful down the line.

 

Right now though, this is a WTF kind of trade.

Not true.  It would get you a great prospect.  It would be our second biggest signing in 5+ years.

Is this organization retarded?

Is this a rhetorical question?

[kevinb]

We need an entirely new organizational philosophy from the owner on down. In the offseason clean house GM, manager, coaching staff etc!

[bloodbrother]

It's a completely nonsensical move by this team. The players they got back are your classic "org depth" but I highly doubt either of them even reach it to the bigs or actually wear a Halos uni. Angels could have used that money in the international market, which they have neglected for too damn long now(helping to contribute to them having a poor farm system). Whatever though, nothing we can do as fans except shake our heads at what this FO is doing with this team

Of course instead of possibly getting "not a lot", they got what is as far as we can tell, nothing.

 

Both guys are old for the level they're playing at, and not doing well.

The Mets will receive the Angels’ No. 2 slot value (the No. 51 overall slot), which carries a value of $360,500. The Mets now have an international bonus pool of $3,025,100, while the Angels’ pool drops to $1,633,200.

Good deal for the Mets(we say that a lot about teams dealing with the Halos)

[jshep]

Comforting to see other teams splurging on international talent and/or making trades for more international signing $ while the Angels sign one undersized lefty and call it a day.

[Chuck]

Zzzzzzzzzzz

How about we wait and see how these guys turn out or what Dipoto has to say before throwing beer bottles at the stage?

Concepcion is a 23 year old corner OF who has yet to hit particularly well at any level and has yet to play anywhere higher than Low-A ball.

 

Perez is 22 years old and pitching out of the bullpen without success since coming over to the states(granted, only 20 something innings here). He's currently in Rookie Ball.

 

Sure one of those guys could turn out to be something just based on sheer luck, but neither one is a prospect, really.

So the Angels didn't trade $360k, instead they traded their 51st pick in the international draft. Big deal...HUGE DEAL!!! FRANCHISE OVER!!!!!

[bloodbrother]

Nobody said that but it's fun to pretend

 

It's just a rather pointless move by the Halos

Because most people on AW want results now, and they won't believe anything JD says, anyway.

[gurn67]

Maybe Burlington had a couple of openings on the groundskeeping crew. That's the only way this makes sense to me.

Arte hates foreigners. That is the only answer.

We traded the 51 pick overall and roughly 18% of our overseas $$. That is hardly insignificant.

Kudos to Alderson for this one.
