Still would need a 2nd pitcher

I've met him throughout the years. He would remember my Pops before me I think.

He was really good in SD. Fell off the cliff when he went to Miami. Started to turn things around the 2nd half last year.

I went to the same HS, granted too long ago to admit to.

THS? My wife went to Foothill.

Buddy?

Are you asking if he is my buddy?

Heath?

Yup. Played Pony Ball and Highschool.

I played ball with Bell.

Can't they do both? They could sign both of those guys for the short term, and trade one or more of them to get close to major league ready arms. Matter of fact that is probably the best possible solution mainly due to the fact you can probably get a better pitcher that happens to be a year or two away.

I was typing something up just like this but got gun shy. HA! It also gives Lindsay some time at AAA to see if he is major league ready in case we move HK at the deadline or next offseason.

Kazmir is the Lane Kiffin of pitchers.

Off topic. SC hired Sark and Coach O is leaving.

It better than last years.

Chuck do you have inside info that we are close to signing Garza?

Well there's us disagreeing on talent evals. Ridding ourselves of our hatred for Kinsler (I don't like him either) do you honestly believe Kinsler is not as good as Kendrick?

I watch them both almost every night and I'll tell you HK is better than Kins at 2nd.

Welcome Ken. I'm pretty new here as well.

That sucks.

What about 3yrs with a team option for a 4th year? Wonder how much it would take to get it down.

I think Kins contract is front loaded.

Will do sir.

You can post whatever proposals you want. Honestly no one here knows any better than you do about what the Angels will do and what is best for the team.

I've seen much, much worse. The good thing is that you are perfectly ok with people critiquing your ideas and don't lash out, unlike others.

My writing also sucks but I'm not worried about. HA!

I hear you guys on Uggla. I know he been slipping ever since he went to the Braves. Just wanted to know if it was worth while to look at getting DU and young good cost controlled pitcher like Minor(if Atl. Would entertain that I don't know) plus pick up the majority of his contract 8 mil plus a year. That was my thinking. Looking at their prospects none seem to be major league ready in 2014 except maybe a guy named J.R. graham. He projects to be a #3 eventually. Only 5'10 though.

For the record I'm on board with signing Tanaka and or Garza and Hughes. I will admit about doing unrealistic trade proposals. I just don't know any better that's why I'll post them here to get your guys opinions. You guys keep me in check.

Cdaniel has the worst trade/FA ideas.

I'll admit to that.

lol

trading Kendrick for some braves pitching (????) and uggla, right!!!!!

The thought crossed my mind. If Atlanta picked up the majority of his contract plus a young stud pitcher might be interesting. But looking at his stats he is pretty bad.

How bad is he? He hit .179 last year but still hit 22 bombs. Is it bad luck, or does the guy just suck now? Hopefully someone that can read advanced stats can fill me in. Also how is he defensively?

Give the guy a break he is just repeating a rumor that he read on Twitter.

Thanks Stradling. Wasn't my idea just saw it on Angelsinsider. Not sure who the guy is....could be Chuck for all I know. HA!

I hear what you guys are saying. Just letting you know what I read on twitter.
