We found the real piece. He's on pace to be the best 3B of all time.

Not bad. Except no guarantee that Ward or Rengifo are able to contribute. Probably have to wait until September to find out. Also, I think Angels will sign a few relievers come winter to help with the bullpen situation.

I would like to think that we're fine with Maldanado. He is a gold glove catcher who is one of the better hitting catchers. If we're going to spend prospect currency, we should definitely focus on more pressing needs than another catcher. I would love to see a trade for Iglesias and/or Hand. Both those guys would go a long way in solidifying our pen for years to come. I like the idea of Merrifield, however, I still also love the idea of Cesar Hernandez. Cesar is a switch hitter and may be more expendable as well considering the Phillies will eventually have to make room for Kingery. Either way, I think trading for an actual leadoff hitter is a good idea. Degrom would likely clear out our farm, especially considering the Mets are reportedly asking for A LOT in return. The Angels have so many holes and a limited amount of prospect currency we are willing to spend. I think we can really only trade for pitching OR hitting. Whichever we don't trade for, we would need to focus on during the offseason. For example, maybe we trade for Hand and/or Iglesias now and then sign a hitter like DJ Lemahieu during the offseason. Maybe we go get Machado (fingers crossed)

Love me some Cowart

I'd say the odds are 1 in 29

We're talking about heroes, no one here mentioned losers

Some heroes deserve worshipping

He's gonna play for the Mariners in their home opener in Japan next year

Angels fans don't wanna show up to watch the Yankees score 10 runs by the 2nd inning and then get heckled by douche bag Yankees fans.

Update: He's on the DL with a broken foot.

I love Cowart as our UT guy this year. As mentioned above, he can play all the infield spots and even a corner outfield spot too. He has great defensive skills along with enough speed to fill in as a pinch runner and swipe a bag. I think the hitting will come along in time. He has shown flashes of how good he can be. Having him start training to pitch an inning or two could potentially work wonders. If successful we could literally kill two birds with one stone. That being adding another reliever and not having to sacrifice another player's roster spot to do so. However, I don't know if Cowart would want to pitch. He has always put emphasis on wanting to be a hitter and NOT a pitcher. But who knows, maybe he would be open to doing both. Having one two way player is already great, imagine having two! Ah the possibilities
