We are waiting to see if Span is healthy.

Agreed, TEX will have a full year of Hammels and Darvish and Houston has Ken Giles

I'm ok waiting to see if he is healthy.

According to most reports, teams are only willing to eat 5 million of CJ's 20 million contract.

Whoops I was thinking Fowler,Gordon, Cespedes, Upton

Bet Span will sign before the big four OF.

Finally, some people are seeing the light on Span. Span is willing to sign for less years to prove he is healthy. Span could make bank if he proves he is healthy becomes a free agent within the next two years. At the end of 2017, both Yunel and Span come off the books, our only two main contracts will be Albert at 25 mil and Trout at 33.5 million. We will have spending money for these 2018 free agents Bryce Harper David Price Jason Heyward Josh Donaldson Clayton Kershaw Dallas Keuchel Jose Fernandez Matt Harvey Andrew McCutchen Adam Jones Manny Machado Michael Brantley Craig Kimbrel Zach Britton Trevor Rosenthal Andrew Miller Jeurys Familia Glen Perkins Kelvin Herrera A.J. Ramos Carter Capps David Robertson Adam Wainright Garret Richards Shelby Miller Nelson Cruz Hunter Pence Adrian Gonzalez A.J. Pollock Charlie Blackmon Dee Gordon Brian Dozer Yasmani Grandal Derek Norris Joe Mauer Victor Martinez Too many factors have to go right in order to trade Wilson. First, we have to find a team that will eat more than 5 million of his 20 million contract. Second Wilson has to ok the trade.

Why is Span missing? If he proves he is healthy, he is exactly what we need.

We don't need power. We need a guy who gets on base, bats left, and steal bases.

I like Denard Span on a 2-3 year deal with a player option or a one year deal to prove he is healthy. He would be the perfect lead off. He would be cheap. Last year he was injured. He bats left, has speed, steals bases, gets on base, has no qualfying offer. The perfect lead off hitter. This guy is beast against right handed pitching. 2014 BA .302 184 hits 620 AB 39 2B 31SB 2015 BA .301 74 hits 246 AB 17 2B 7SB

Mike Trout has a full no trade clause. Pointless thread..

The perfect reply.

CJ Wilson is unknown now. If the Angels think he will do well,why trade CJ now when his value is low? If I am another MLB team why would I give up cost controlled guy who can play at average anywhere around the diamond for an unknown rental, below average 2b, and an unreliable reliever? Be realistic.

You are aware we don't have a deep bullpen right? We can't have our closer and setup man going three days in a row. This isn't a video game. Remember, those two games where we almost swept the Astros? Those two games we over used our bullpen. Street pitched three days in a row. Before he got hurt, CJ was one of our top three pitchers. With CJ, we were winning games and resting our bullpen. We are not going win many ball games if most of our pitchers are going 5 innings. It's one of the main reasons we on that losing streak after the all-star game. Because, our pitchers went below 6 innings, our bull pen was exhausted at the end of the season against Texas. After the All Star break, Hector went 4 of 15 games in going 6 inning or more. Our bullpen was being used so much we had to bring in AA guys in to rest our pen. I don't understand why so many want to trade CJ. Trading CJ now when his value is currently low, exposes our limited bullpen,and If he preforms well we are giving away Draft Pick. You are aware this is contract year right? Having pitchers go at least 6 innings is a key to success, allows the team to rest the pen, and it's one of the reason why the Royals traded for Cueto.

We are not trading Wilson. Wilson's value is too low. Plus, we need Wilson. Our rotation is full of 5 or 6 innings pitchers. Our Bullpen will be worn out like last year.

yes, we need one guy. Weaver is no longer an option.

Played 42 games at 3B had 6 errors played 69 games at 2B had 6 errors

Right and our bullpen was overused and tired. A club needs three legit pitchers that can go 6 or more innings. We currently have only Richards and Wilson. Our bullpen is not that deep to have alternate closers.

Murphy isn't an upgrade defensely.

This Rotation only has only 1 pitcher that can go 6 or more innings. Our Bullpen will be exhausted and lit up. Murphy sucks at 3B,

Murphy's defense is a liability. Might as well keep Giavotella. We need a defensive upgrade at second base badly.Not so much offense upgrade. It's why Sosh keeps subing Featherson , Green and Jackson in the late innings.

CJ went 15 of 21 games before July 29th going at least 6 innings. 7 of 21 games going 7 innings or more. Richards went 16 of 21 games in going 6 innings. Richards went 9 of 21 games in going 7 or more before July 30. =Baseball reference click game logs

We need Wilson. He's 1 of 2 pitchers that can go at least 7 innings regularly. Trading him would be futile. It would tax our bullpen. We need at least three starters that can reset the bullpen.

You are correct. I only looked at 2 w/RISP and compared games instead of AB.
