2 top 10 prospects for Boyd seems awfully steep for the organization.
Also, as I’ve previously noted I am in general against trading everyday players for pitchers.
The Dodgers have found like 3 guys like that in the last 5 years. Including Justin Turner. Other teams manage to find good players that haven’t had a chance or hit their stride later for whatever reason. It’s not uncommon the Angels just never figure it out. Hopefully they finally have with Goodwin. It’s necessary to come up on players like this if you want to win in the short term.
Also. Goodwin has been a solid player anyway in limited opportunity. I believe his OPS+ was like 99. Which is basically league average. He was also a fairly well regarded prospect. So that he’s playing well isn’t entirely out of the blue.
I don’t think there’s even a good Dodgers message board that’s anything like AW. We’re fortunate to have a pretty unique place here actually. There really aren’t a lot of good message boards like this. Thanks @Chuckster70
Hey, the more positions a guy can play the better. I’m just saying, we don’t need to worry about it. The Angels have room for good players on the 25 man.
It’s really annoying that this is just the way baseball is now. I hate that pitchers don’t go deep very often anymore.
Anyway decent debut.
Fastball velocity down to 92 this inning. I guess that’s a thing to watch with him
It’s gonna be annoying as hell if they send Bard out and hand this game over to the bullpen. Canning should 100% get a chance to get through 5 or more.
