Angels 1961

To the Angels ? He’s been one of the better more consistent hitters for them for two seasons now.  He plays all 3 outfield positions. Even if he is a 4th outfielder.  Good teams need players like Brian Goodwin.  The Angels have had great difficulty acquiring and producing players like him over the last decade.  Come on man.  
 

im not saying I’m completely against trading him or that he’s a critical bedrock player.  But he’s also not a guy they can just move without getting a decent return.  

Package Goodwin and Bundy

For 25 games of a backup C who’s a rental - I’ll take it. Not bad actually.  Expectations 

I agree

I know he is starting on Monday seems like he has been forgotten man last year and half. His first year was really good.

For Angels next year

It’s a win win.  If we trade him it’s because a team over paid to get him.  

Eppler has done well in trades, Sandoval, Goodwin, LaStella, Bundy, Buttrey  and Barreto. His FA pitching not so good Cahill, Harvey, Teheran and closer last year.

They'll most likely get a bye in the 1st round.

No byes this year

Bundy is like a stock you bought low and now it's at highest point. Sell

I trade Bundy save money from next year's salary and he is worth more now then deadline next year.

You don't trade Bundy unless someone makes you an offer you can't refuse. But that could happen, and often happens at this time of the season. So either:

A) The Angels acquire a couple good prospects

B) They have Bundy next year, and either he helps them to the postseason or is traded at the deadline for prospects

Either way is a good thing.

You get more this year because Bundy is under control for 1 more year. Saving on his salary for next year which will be close to 10 mill.

LASTELLA IS NOT A 1B

He has been playing 1B for them

Barreto could be starting 2B next year with Fletcher at SS. LaStella be signed in off season to play 1B.

Assuming we trade Simmons or let him walk (QO?) the finances wouldn't be too crazy considering Tehearan also off the books. 

Would this be enough with some decent pen pieces or is it more drastic? 

 

 

Also Castro be off the books

Trout, Rendon, Ohtani and Fletcher only locks to be in starting lineup in 2021. Five spots open many can come from within and we all know the players who will be in play for those spots.With many questions in pitching staff Angels may be further away from contending than we think.

One GM traded for Vernon Wells once.

Do not let him start another game. Trade him now.

I agree do it now

Eppler may not be back next year so how does this affect his decisions at trade deadline? Does he go about it as if he's coming back? His decisions in next week affect this club in future and maybe he's not the one you want doing the trading.

That's a bold take on trading Fletcher, @Stradling. I think you could argue that he may be the most attractive player on our team, ahead of Adell and Bundy. 

Let's see what Bundy does in next couple of starts but I'd keep Fletcher.

I keep Fletcher, sign LaStella in off season to play 1B. Your INF be set and go after Bauer in off season. You hope Canning and Sandoval can develop into rotation pieces along with Detmers. Bullpen a total mess with very little to keep. What to do with Upton and Pujols going forward another big ?. This team at start of this short season look to have so much hope but now going forward a lot of questions of what to do. I keep Fletcher and Goodwin because of the value they bring with those contracts. Totally forgot about Bundy for next year. Good news Teheran was just signed for 1 year.
