I wouldn’t give up a single top five prospect for a reliever.  I would consider Ward or Thiass if it would give me a good arm for 2 plus years.

I don’t think they would bring a closer with club control for 2+ years

Valbuena why don’t you ever guess an off speed pitch is coming... lol

Long term solutions are going to cost a heck of a lot more than the 11th and 12th best prospects.

The “throw in prospect”

Yohanse Morel, RHP
Age: 17

Morel is an intriguing, deep-sleeper pickup for the Royals. As an amateur, Morel trained as an outfielder in the Dominican Republic but moved to the mound before signing with the Nationals last year for $100,000 on July 2. Morel threw 88-91 mph when he signed but since then his fastball has jumped to 95 mph. With his fast arm speed and room to fill out his 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame, Morel has a chance to throw even harder in the future. He shows feel for a power slider and has the athleticism that should bode well for his ability to repeat his delivery and make adjustments. He made his pro debut with one start in the Dominican Summer League on June 2.

I personally believe guys like Parker and Anderson would do better in 6th-8th inning roles.  Less stress.  Also, just because they got Herrera, doesn't mean they couldn't have gotten someone else.

So you would deplete the farm system to trade for 2-3 relievers for us to maybe make the playoffs this year lol

Kevin Gutierrez 23 yo out of Dominican in AA batting 274

Blake Perkins was the pick ahead of Jahmai Jones. HS OFer too

Holy crap those guys are nothing special.

 

Gives me hope something can still get done.

This trade sets the bar low so if billy looks to make a trade that’s a positive..

He isn’t a rental, which is good.

Trade for Hand and sign Herrera as a FA?   Then the other younger Halos relievers slot in much better.

We would prbly have to give up jam Jones + 2 mid/low level for someone with 2.5 years control

well shit why bother at all then right?  

*whispers* Greinke Haren trades

The Nats are far and above what we are now. Herrera would be a bandaid to maybe getting to a WC at most

Just now, Taylor said:

Fernandez is batting 5th.

My bad I meant see them at the same time. Seems Fletcher vs only lefties and Fernandez vs righties

Will we ever see Fernandez and fletcher?! Prbly not cuz of Soshs “matchups”

Drafting 3 top 100 prospects in 2 years, signing Shohei + braves, all while hands are tied with international $$...

Do you guys think Jerimiah Jackson actually sticks in the dirt or is it a matter of time before he becomes a CFer too lol

He’s my favorite pick of the draft his swing is

Eppler took over a team with the worst minors in all of baseball and a horrendous Albert contract.. he did the best he could signing/trading for middle of the road players till the minors can actually produce major league level talent

he did.  I felt bad for him.  He's gonna be fine long term but they shouldn't be throwing him in tie games that we need to win.  would have been nice if he went out there like a baller and owned the place though.  

He has great stuff. Jewell became a reliever this year and it seems Eppler rushed him to the big leagues. Anderson became a reliever in 2017 and gave him an entire year in the minors. They also gave Middleton a year in ththe minors. I wouldn’t be surprised if they send Jewell down for the rest of the year when they bring up Tuesday’s starter just to learn how to be a reliever. But with our bullpen situation who knows..

Had high hopes for Jewell but the dude looks like he’s about to shit his pants out there

Whats up guys. Angels fan since the 90s best game ive ever been to is still the Adam Kennedy 3 homer game vs twins in the ALCS.

I've been reading you guys for a couple weeks and finally decided to join! Enjoy following the minor leagues (F*ck you Dipito)

Favorite Angels player of all time is John Lackey

Definitely agree. The only top prospect I would consider trading is Jones in a package deal for Hand or Iglesias. They both have a deal through 2020 I believe  

Jones may be expendable with Fletcher and rengifo looking good.
