Callaspo Traded for A's Grant Green

[AngelsFaninGA]

Woah, we actually got a player who doesn't completely suck. 

[Lhalo]

Dude tore it up in AAA this year.

[HaloNation]

why would beane make this trade ??

 

either he doesn't see any potential in green or more is coming

[Lhalo]

Howie is gone.  Green is a 2B ready now.

Unless Green can play 3B but ya, I think you're right.

[Angel Oracle]

This has to foretell a Kendrick trade either now or in the off-season.

Grant Green this year in AAA:

 

.325 / .379 / .500 / .879

11 homers, 50 RBI, 123 Hits, 27 Doubles, 27 walks, 70 K's

[bloodbrother]

Green's star has faded, but that's still more than I figured.

Nice job Jerry

 

Oh most definitely. He was very highly touted when he first got drafted and was routinely on top 100 prospect lists.

 

He's been playing all over the place. Wonder where the Halos will play him. 2B or 3B, perhaps?

[AngelsFaninGA]

Green's minor league stats have been consistently good, 

[DW711]

Grant Green...are you CRAZY?!

 

Hell, give them Rosales or Okajima or something

[austin724]

I trust the A's farm system. So this does sound like a good trade.  Callaspo was crap and needed to go.

[Schildog]

i like this selling thing.

[nate]

Strange trade unless Howie is on the move too?

[Scott34]

Wow.  Faith restored in Dipoto, GRANTED (see what I did there) we get a solid piece for Howie.

[jsnpritchett]

He's terrible defensively, but, still, I'll take it.

Howie is gone.  Green is a 2B ready now.

I was also thinking the same thing.  This also frees up money as Green is at the minimum and Callaspo is due to make 4.8 million next year.  May not seem like much of a savings but it could go a long way in getting the right package for Trout next year.

[DW711]

*waiting for everyone's reaction to know if I should be venting or excited, and even then hard to tell*

 

I'll tell you right now..you should be thrilled.

Callaspo going to A's for Grant Green

 

Redemption for Dipoto..    Kinda.

[Jason]

He's terrible defensively, but, still, I'll take it.

He already fits in well

[Mark68]

Are there any former DBacks or Rockies on the A's?

Seth Smith is a former Rockie.

[Chimi]

Dipoto will follow up this trade by sending Howie to the White Sox and getting Ian Kennedy in return from the D-Backs.

[DW711]

Lol they traded him to the A's. I assume he'll play 2B for them(his natural position). Dude is definitely an A's type player with his good plate discipline

 

No, Sogard (and probably Weeks or Hiro) are better than him.

[Lhalo]

Over 220 people reading this thread right now.

[austin724]

Coming from an A's fan, I guess this Angels fan should be excited.  Maybe we are finally starting to make the right moves.  Here is to 2014.

[nate]

One thing is for sure, this team will definitely look different next season.
