    2018 fixable fast

    If the idea is to move Cowart to 3B, I think the Angels should try to trade for Cesar Hernandez from the Phillies.  His first year of arbitration is coming up in 2018 which means more money for the Phillies to pay.  I'm not sure what the Angels have to entice the Phillies to get Hernandez, but that would be the best 2B to get IMO for the team. 

    How about Ketel Marte? Do you think he would cost more than Hernandez?

    Maybe a different type of package since the Diamondbacks are trying to contend...

    I think we should go for a 2b in the offseason and let Cowart take 3b and see how it plays out... Then use Valbuena as a super utility infielder for 3b, 2b and 1b if he stops being a black hole in the lineup. I wouldn't be against signing a free agent like Moustakas, but it would be wiser to wait until for the much better 2019 free agent class imo.

    For second base, Joe Panik would be an interesting option, still young and has good upside.

    I didn't see anybody mention Ian Kinsler. Despite being 35, he is still the best defensive 2b in baseball according to Fangraphs. His 2017 BABIP is also about 60 points lower than in his last 2 seasons (.259 vs .314 and .325). Could be aging or just bad luck...  

    Finally, do you think the Diamondbacks would be open to trading Ketel Marte, even though they just aquired him? He put up some very good numbers in AAA this season and would be a superior defender at 2b.

    Hello everybody,

    I've been a member for quite a long time and really enjoy this forum, so I figured I should introduce myself and maybe take part in some of the discussions!

    My name is Mathieu and I was born and raised in Switzerland. My dad, who is from So Cal, has been an Angel fan his whole life and introduced me to baseball when I was a kid. I've been following Angels baseball for about 10 years now! I'm now going to college in California, so I'm able to watch live games!
