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

 

I am given the potential upside via AAA vs the ceiling you know you had with Callaspo.

 

0-15 in the bigs is...well...small sample size.

 

The ONLY thing that makes me a little worried is why Beane would do this.

 

Maybe no reason to read too much into it.

Pujols was just pulled off the DL.  Trade is imminent.

Grant Green this year in AAA:

 

.325 / .379 / .500 / .879

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

 

25 years old tho....   Still a solid return on Callaspo.   They moved 5 mil in salary.

Green rhymes with Bean, old Billy just cant have that

I try.

I'm happy for both...Angels and Callaspo.  

[DW711]

why would beane make this trade ??

 

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

 

The ONLY reason is cause he still haw Weeks and Hiro in the minors.

 

That and Callaspo has a good bb/k ratio.

 

With that said, the Angels won this by a mile.

Looks like he's also played a little OF(don't know how well), so might be a useful utility guy if nothing else.

Green is playing 2B.  Nelson got called up to play 3B.

 

Howie is gone within 17 hours.

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

Thank God!!

C'mon now, Tex......everyone's in a good mood right now

[rafibomb]

Would it be safe to assume that one of Aybar or Kendrick will be traded now?

[SmallSampleSize]

So now this really begs the question...what can we get for Howie?

[Lhalo]

Peavy to the Red Sox confirmed.

He already fits in well

I am curious, how well would anyone if he is terrible defensively.  Its not like he is on national tv every night.

It's all we have right now.

From worst to first

Congrats Callaspo

seems likely, though it's not like Green is a full time ML player yet.  They could conceivably stash him in AAA until the offseason.

Look at his minor league numbers.  And also, there's this:

Howie is gone within 17 hours.

I don't want to see Howie gone

[Homebrewer]

Surprised Beane would do this trade.  Beane is much smarter than Dipoto so there has to be something more to this...

Callapso might be going to the Yanks in a "3 way"...

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Would it be safe to assume that one of Aybar or Kendrick will be traded now?

Most likely Howie.

he's average.
