Angelsjunky got a reaction from ten ocho recon scout in Bourjos traded to Cardinals
Oh god, please not just Freese. If so, it confirms Dipoto's moron status.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from Vladdylonglegs in FIRE DIPOTO
I'm feeling pretty disheartened right now. Dipoto is not who we thought he was two years ago. He's more like Tony Reagins than Bill Stoneman. I'm wondering if he's proving to be a target among smarter GMs.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from YouthofToday in Dave Cameron (Fangraphs) on the trade
Read about it here.
Cameron nails it here:
"The Angels needed a third baseman, I guess, but they traded a good player for a worse player who costs more. Anaheim keeps spinning their wheels, while the Cardinals keep marching on towards sustained excellence. Some things really do stay the same."
Its almost embarrassing. I'd say that the Angels are on their way to becoming a joke of a franchise, but the thing is the last four years have been terrible so we're already there. This trade just confirms it. I was hoping that we'd see a shift in gears this off-season, but it looks like more Dipoto being Dipoto.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from Justabitoutside in Guys, tell me about Bourjos.
He's basically Darin Erstad without the 2000 season. He's about average as a hitter, maybe a bit above, and a great center fielder. And I mean great.
You guys won this, and it isn't even close. Enjoy him - he's a lot of fun to watch.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from Halos of Anaheim in Good Luck Peter
Petey just got a major upgrading, from our floundering team to one of the very best franchises in baseball. Good for him.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Bourjos traded to Cardinals
Don't mean to be critical Chuck, but just yesterday you were saying Shuck for Freese was fair. Bourjos >>> Shuck. Always going with the party line, buddy?

Freese is coming off a terrible season in which he had back trouble and is on the wrong side of 30. Plus he's a terrible defender.
Bourjos is injury-prone, but still only 27 and one of he best defensive players in the game. When he's healthy he plays like a star.
Bad, bad trade. I've lost all faith in Jerry Dipoto.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from halodground in Bourjos traded to Cardinals
The point is that Bourjos had significant upside and would have made a great 4th outfielder for the Angels. You don't trade very talented players when they're coming off an injury-plagued season. You don't get a good return.

Angelsjunky reacted to wopphil in Bourjos traded to Cardinals
Put me on record that a Freese for Bourjos trade would be horrendous and ought to warrant Dipoto's termination. But I'll reserve judgment until I see who is actually coming back.

Angelsjunky got a reaction from Chuck in Angels discussing trade for Freese
God, please don't trade Calhoun or Bourjos for Freese. Terrible move.
Shuck for Freese won't happen. Shuck and a grade C/C+ prospect? Maybe.
Watching Joe Kelly pitch is more impressive than his stat line - he's got nasty stuff.
