Thanks Dipoto

[kevinb]

I just want to say thanks for not blowing up this team. We are really good. Lol!!! Three straight walk off losses great game Angels

[nate]

He should have just traded players for the hell of it, without caring what he got back or how it affected our depth.

[AngelsFaninGA]

We have no depth to begin with. 

[kevinb]

He should have just traded players for the hell of it, without caring what he got back or how it affected our depth.

We have no bench, no pitching, and no farm system who cares what we get back as long as its young talent with upside give all contracts away this team is a 4th place team next year. There's not much we can do. Our line up is the same, bullpen he built and it sucks starting pitching besides Weav he built and it sucks

[kevinb]

Yup

[nate]

I forgot that trades are illegal when the season ends.

[CanadianHalo]

Ya but we're setting records

[SoWhat]

I'm guessing you've heard of an offseason

[kevinb]

If Dipoto is here in the offseason we are truly screwed

[rick99gtp]

WTF is wrong with these Angel's fans.  Seriously.  Find something else to do.  Clearly you aren't any good at being a fan, much less a GM.

[arch stanton]

The sniveling and whining deadlines don't sync up with the non-waiver trade deadline. 

[HaloCory22]

You do realize that our player's value will be HIGHER in the offseason, right?

[Guest]

I said "best chance".  He won't get as quality of prospects come winter IMO.  Mid-season is the time GM's do things they wouldn't otherwise do.

you should be the GM.

[markb]

who cares what we get back as long as its young talent with upside give all contracts away

 

I don't think there's a CASH4GOLD equivalent for baseball players.

[Chuck]

You can still make trades in August and the offseason. This season is LOST already. Just chill.

 

In fact, you have a better chance of making deals now in the waiver period (in August) than ever due to the collective bargaining agreement. 

[Amazing Larry]

Superfan sighting.

Tell us who he could have gotten , not who you want, but who he had a good chance to get.

[Angel Oracle]

This loser franchise loses on 3 straight walk offs.

What a bunch of losers!

[FabulousFabregas]

You heard Scioscia, Callaspo was amazing for us.  How are we supposed to win without him?

[kevinb]

Tell us who he could have gotten , not who you want, but who he had a good chance to get.

We will never know the argument is null and void. Just that he didn't do squat sorry he traded a crappy 3rd baseman and Downs wahoo

[Sciosciapath]

I think it's safe to say the honeymoon with Dipoto is over

[austin724]

So Dipoto  should have just gotten rid of Kendrick and Aybar because that's what would have happened.  I like all of these Monday morning quarterbacks on this sight.  Listen, this was a bad year lets get over it and move on.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Judging by our last two offseasons, I would rather not wait until then.

[austin724]

So according to you Dipoto should have just gotten rid of all of the players and gotten crap in return.  There is nothing that could have been done right now. Things will get done this offseason.  I am so sick and tired of this ****ing bunch of debby downers on this board.  I hate this season as much as any Angel Fan but this season ended a long time ago.  Now we have to have faith that next year will be just the opposite.  I mean why don't you guys find a hobby or something,  What a bunch of shitholes.

[HeavenlyHalos]

The three names rumored to be in trade discussion, Kendrick, Aybar, and Trumbo all have multiple years left on their deals (or years of club control in Trumbo's case). Chill everyone, I think the Mariners are foolish for holding onto players like Kendrys and Ibanez who are FA after the season, but maybe Dipoto wants to see what he can do in an off-season and didn't think he was getting the right value for those guys at the deadline. Now, if the Dodgers would have offered Lee or the Pirates offered Cole than yeah I would have been down to make those deals, but we simply don't know what was actually offered.
