There was a Trade Deadline Series?

Wait, the deadline was TODAY?

Heaney is the ultimate “almost.” Forever stuck in almost. His own actual face is a metaphor for him being an almost. The guy almost has a beard. Years later, he still almost has a beard.

You don’t know that. It could have possibly been a different prospect and Canning or three prospects instead of two. We don’t know. What I do know is the Angela are in the sidelines while others are getting what they need.

Incorrect. I would have traded Adell and another prospect for Berrios.

So you see my point does not make me a hypocrite. Just observing that, once again, Angel fans are seemingly not in tune with the actual market.

Let me just try to explain. Many always say the Angels front office is stupid compared to all these other brilliant front offices. Many of these other brilliant front offices pay prices that Angel fans say are outrageous. Do you see the point?

You obviously don’t understand any of my posts.

Did you want a zoom in on the tongue?

Every deal produces a “wow that’s a lot” it is a fair observation

If every deal to land a premium player is characterized as a massive haul or a high price, maybe everyone should adjust their expectations of what real world prices are?

Is the return for Berrios really headlined by the #68 prospect in baseball??

Berrios to the Jays

I know. I was being sarcastic.

Much of the “anxiety” over this trade deadline is we really want to see some transactions to have a better feel for if Minasian is a genius or a dope, whether he is the boss or a sheep. Just give us some transactions so we can get a glimpse into the answers to those questions!!

The way Berrios gets hammered around here like he sucks, maybe the Angels should jump in and land Pearson for Cobb.

Maybe I am just not seeing him but what happened to Peter Gammons? Where is he? Is he playing shuffleboard in Florida or something?

Heyman about to report a mystery team.

Hard question. Detmers looks so legit and so close to being an impact major leaguer. I would far rather give up outfield and middle infield prospects than give up Detmers. I would rather “overpay” with other prospects and keep Detmers. Detmers is too good an exact fit for what the major league roster needs.

We all assume Scherzer is getting an extension. Any predictions on what the Dodgers are giving him?

Great question. A little more now. BUT he is available now. You assume he is available in the off-season. And he probably is. I don’t like passing in a real opportunity today hoping the market is a little better maybe later. Also, adding him now is more valuable than adding him in the off-season because the reality is the Angels are not entirely out of it this year. AND, how about the same question for the value of an Adell? Is he worth less in the off-season if he strikes out 38% of his at bats the rest of the way?

Do we expect all the last day deals to go down in the last hour? I would have expected some deals to happen by now (today) since there is less than 4 hours left. ???

I am baffled by the lack of enthusiasm for who Berrios is. He is pretty damn good. Paying the correct price for him would be a very good move for this team. Next year matters.

I love minor leaguers probably far more than most. But the danger in that love affair is similar to the dog that loves to play fetch but will not give up the tennis ball for you to throw it. Nobody wants to gut the farm. But you should be willing to trade some quality prospects if you expect to get quality major leaguers.
