Trevor said we need to be more creative... so....

It'd be kind of sad and funny if Eppler just didn't think the Angels needed pitchers.

Watson reportedly interviewed for the Angels GM job, so it turns out that the Angels were able to get 2 executives from among their GM candidates without having to give the PBO and GM title.
I was wrong, and it's good to see that the Angels are adding front office talent.

The chances that all of Adell, Marsh, Adams, Martinez, Knowles, Ramirez, and Deveaux develop are EXTREMELY low and it's completely unrealistic to think that they will all develop.
Yes, they have a number of OF prospects to deal from, but it'd be inaccurate to say that they "don't have room" for all of them because it's very unlikely that they all develop.

This is something I do have some questions about.
I don't know if trading with the Reds already means that a Gray deal won't happen, but it has to change the chances.
The question is, does the chance of Gray being traded to the Angels increase or decrease? It could increase because we know that the Angels and Reds have a working relationship. However, it could decrease because if they were going to do it, they might have already done it (like you said). I'd have to think that the chances that two teams strike two deals of significant magnitude with each other in the same offseason are lower.

One thing this shows is that the Angels truly need to add a quality outfielder. While Adell/Marsh/Schebler/Upton/Ward could put together good production, they shouldn't count on it. Adding a quality outfielder gives insurance for both LF and RF.

Right, and hence the rumors we hear about Schwarber, etc.  I think Schebler is a nice start in that he'll be solid AAA depth and has shown himself to at least be replacement level (and has been above average most of the time).  That's certainly an improvement above what Adell did last year.
Schwarber would be a great option if management felt he could play RF, but I don't think there's much reason to think he can.  

I've followed it long enough where I think there is some credence to his Tweets, based on what he has said and subsequent outcomes thereafter.  I don't think he is an insider to the level of Rosenthal, etc, but I do believe he has some connections and does hear some things.
But that said, I wouldn't take any Tweets as a portend of what is to come.  I mainly posted it for conversation purposes about possible targets, etc.

I think two under the radar names that would very much help out the pen, even without much cost are former Angels Yusmiero Petit and Jose Alvarez.
I think you could get them both for 5-6 M total, and it really rounds out the pen. 
Iglesias, Mayers, Pena, Petit, Alvarez, Buttrey, Rivera, Yan, Reyes, Bard, Keller, and Barria, Suarez, and/or Sandoval.
Good group of names and a lot of depth there. Only Iglesias, Petit, Mayers, Alvarez and Rivera can’t be optioned to AAA. Meaning they can rotate the others.
Barria can’t be optioned but he’s in my projected rotation as of right now, and I think if they get Bauer, he’s def in it. 

Another downside to Burlington was that they didn't have a MiLB.tv feed at their home ballpark, and many Midwest League teams also didn't have MiLB.tv feeds. The Burlington Bees didn't even have a radio broadcast! They had no radio announcer at all.
I don't know if Tri-City has an MiLB.tv feed, but I do know they have a radio feed and an actual radio announcer. Hopefully Tri-City and the other Northwest League teams have an MiLB.tv feed.

I'm gonna guess that Perry grabs someone from the braves org like a Thomas Burrows or Corbin Clouse (yes, I had to look those guys up).  

I don't believe anything that account says.
Anyone can create a twitter account claiming to be a former MLB executive. If you tweet speculation, people are going to follow, retweet, and like your tweets because fans feed off that stuff.

I’d say the goal should be to find a LHH who can complement Ward in RF until one of Adell or Marsh is ready.
Dahl can likely be had for cheap (was projected at 2.5mil arbitration per MLBTR).  At a cost like that, he’d be my top choice.

Yeah, I figure that Springer and Ozuna are out of the Angels price range, but I included them just to show all the OF options out there.
Also, Brantley, Rosario, and Schwarber would all be suspect in RF, but I included them for the same reason.

I think Springer can be ruled pretty quick based off QO, his cost, his interest in Northeast. There is a little bit of interest in my part in Ozuna, and I think given his impact with Minasian’s Braves last year, he can’t be completely ruled out - especially if Adell and Marsh are dealt for pitching - but very unlikely.
After that though, almost any of those sound realistic, except maybe Schwarber who only has 14 innings of experience in RF, and wouldn’t fit the defense criteria the Angels are valuing of late. I also really doubt Ward is seen as much of a solution either, even temporarily. His play was nice last year but nothing groundbreaking or even necessarily sustainable. If they have to spend elsewhere first, sure we could see him there or in a platoon, but I doubt they’re wanting to count on that yet.
 

Puig and Bauer have the same agent. Worth noting.
But their are some off the field question marks with Puig, as mmc said.
