Angel would be Jackie Warner.

When playing in front of empty stadiums first came up in March I thought it was a ridiculous idea and felt it wouldn't make good business playing without the revenues of games.  However it might really be a great idea.  All live sports are cancelled.  Sports fans across the country are begging for sports to follow.  And if baseball comeback they would have a monopoly with the news.  No NBA playoff hype.  No NfL Camp or draft.  No NBA draft.  No hockey.  Only baseball.  Mlb would have a monopoly to brand the sport.

NFL is having a draft

I hope it's a troll

First I hope we have some kind of a season. Like the flu comes every year hope corona does not. If we have a season it will be a lot shorter so maybe trades will happen sooner. Bleacher Report had a trade where Angels get Jeff Samardzija. Let's just hope we have a season so we can all out to watch a game.

Which is safer for trolls?

Not now toilet paper hard to get

Is a joke still a joke if nobody laughs

If there is a season may only be 80 to 90 games but total season maybe lost. Do minor league players still get paid?

Who determines a troll, do we have a troll dictator? Is there a test for it or is it just one persons opinion? Can you just ignore someone's topics? Do some take topics to serious? Do some not know where some trade rumors start? World is upside down now is this important as baseball may be gone this season?

With this season shortened or totally lost will Angels sign Albert to an extension? This would give Albert a chance to reach 700. What say you hubs?

700 HR

He should make the team when they play platoon with Albert.

This was not my trade idea but one on Bleacher Report. Calm down Hubs life is short.

Jeebus man, you've gotta stop with these one word titles.

"Trade" makes me think there is a trade happening. Not that you have some bullshit trade idea that makes little if any sense. This is not a chat room, it's a message board.

ALSO...why would the Giants do this when they want to cut payroll. Maitan has been underwhelming at best. Half I could see. But more likely it would be Samardizja for Maitan and another prospect and the Angels would take on 90% of the salary.

This was a proposed trade on bleacher report, not one I made up.

Right now there is little chance opening day will take place so adding payroll with no income isn't going to happen.

I was thinking if everything was normal.

Would you trade Kevin Maitan for Jeff Samardzija if Giants picked up most of money on his contract?

Shorten season like during strike years. Strange times hope all are well. If season gets cancelled players still get paid full amounts?

Arismendy Alcantara is looking like the only non-roster position player who might have a shot at cracking the roster, especially if they want to keep Rengifo in AAA for regular playing time and count on Fletcher as the 4th OF. 

He’s getting enough looks at SS I imagine he’s getting a little bit of consideration and his versatility and speed would come in handy for Joe’s style. Maddon managed him a bit already back in ‘15 with the Cubs so he’s familiar. 

I like Alcantara and think he gets final roster spot. Stassi backup catcher, Fletcher 4th OF and Thaiss since Albert cannot play 1B everyday. Hermosillo could be other option.

Unless he's hurt, he has a spot because they need reliable BP arms.  Eppler has brought a lot of guys to camp that could fill a roll like that but none of them have Cam's history nor put up 3.23 ERA 141 ERA+ 1.141 WHIP in 61.1 IP last season with a 9.4 K/9.  Some of the other guys have options and will likely start in AAA as depth.  Not to mention they already negotiated a $2.8 m contract for next season. 

 

Kyle Keller and Jose Quijada both can strike out some guys but have issues with walks.

Mike Mayers has never really been good in any of his stints in the MLB.

Ryan Buchter is interesting and could be in the mix.

Jose Rodriguez may be something at some point.

J.C. Ramirez is a "?".

Luke Bard is someone they hope reaches their potential at some point.

Taylor Cole has talent but is inconsistent.

Matt Ball, Jacob Barnes, Adrian De Horta, Parker Markel, Hoby Milner, Neil Ramirez, Jake Thompson.

Looking at the bullpen options as a whole, he's one of the few guys that you can anticipate some kind of decent performance from next season.

 

 

I know he has spot in bullpen to start year and a repeat of last year be great. Cam has always made me nervous late in games.

Everyone gives Bedrosian on spot, I just feel there are better options for this team.

Is he the platoon with Goodwin?

Robles, Buttrey, Middleton, Bedrosian, Noé Ramírez, Buchter, Barnes, Andriese. 

Andriese will be in rotation to start seaso. Peters in pen for multiple inn

Buchter, Barnes not on 40 man roster so no options. Robles, Cam, Noe no options. Bard, Keller, Quijada, Buttrey, Middleton and Cole have options.

Peters has options
