JD, make it happen, so we can have DDLR and KDLC on the team.

Pitchers IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Hanson 4.2 7 7 7     2    3    1   6.92
 
Hanson, Madson, Blanton, Burnett........that's a real ugly list.

Yes, the Angels doesn't have much pitching depth, but Ervin is not the answer either.
 
Ervin made 95 starts in the past 3 years, he went 29W-35L  30%, Weaver made 87 starts, went 49W-21L  56%, Wilson made 101 starts, went 46W-24L 45%.
 
If I am the GM, I am not gonna give up a 1st for a pitcher who can only win 30% of his starts.
 
Unless the Angels are signing a legit #2, otherwise it's not worth the pick.

Ibanez: "The ball is jumping out of my bat well"

Would prefer more, but 6+1 isn't bad!

Actully he is a Phillies fan

Blanton in a good state of mind
 
Alright this is a new one.

Aybar is about the 13th best shortstop in the majors and he's signed for $8M a year. He's also coming off a not so good year.
The Cardinals, who were desperate for a SS, would not give up any of their starters for him.
As for Kendrick, the Angels no doubt would have preferred to trade him instead of Trumbo but no one wanted to give up a pitcher for him.
They won't get anyone who makes them better in 2014 for trading either guy. It will be either a guy who is no better than one of the FAs (Capuano, etc) or a risky prospect who isn't ready now.

What are those ppl smoking today?
