Sweet I hate our Angels organization sometimes

When does the trade deadline end?

Trades! We better not have just traded Callaspo and Downs and be done.

Trade him

Do it Do it !!! Lets gut it and start fresh, this season no longer matters let young guys play into positions so we can evaluate for the spring

Who cares AO this team needs to lose as many games as possible to get a higher draft pick. Hopefully Aybar and Howie are gone before the deadline tomorrow lets go for glory 

LOL great job Angels. 

Great job Dipoto. Hopefully this kid works out but if not you shed some payroll and got younger. Now get rid of Aybar Howie and Iannetta 

Thanks Brandon I know he cares deeply about my thoughts and feelings on the matter

I have said a lot of bad things about you the last couple days. But if you can gut this team of the likes of Aybar, Blanton, Vargas, Callaspo and Howie for some good prospects and major league ready young arms etc. I will take it all back. Rebuild this team from within and get some young fresh guys here instead of the old crap we have now.

I love you Aybar but please not be here when the trade deadline passes. We need all the minor league and prospects we can get

Take them all

If it were up to Mike this entire team would only hit righties and the other guy would hit lefties. He loves to platoon and micro manage the hell out of this team. Please fire this a hole as fast as possible along with Dipoto

Gosh damn it Dipoto WE WANT TO GET YOUNGER not trade for old players for f*cks sake man. Rebuild and get younger not stay the same freaking age!

• The Dodgers and Angels, who haven't made a trade in 20 years, had a "mostly casual conversation" regarding Halos second baseman Howie Kendrick.  There are no indications a deal is in the works.
• The Angels are at least listening on infielders Kendrick, Erick Aybar, and Alberto Callaspo, and seeking high quality big league ready pitching in return.

 

Don't worry about big league ready arms now. Lets get younger and have them be ready in 2 to 3 years

Injury's, sounds like the rest of our bullpen. 

We used to have one superstar and the rest good to really good players all across the team.

When your 15th or higher in more than two categories your probably not going to be a good team. It's a team sport you need all of your 40 man roster and more to help you win. When we are only 2-4 deep in good players in the line up and 2 deep in pitching with good players you are not gonna win many games

If ands and buts are fun. But we know what we have with this group cut bait and let's go fishing

I love comments like this. Lmao Internet fans are the greatest!

Does it ever get old? I know rhetorical question no need to answer it

Wish our players were winning and having fun. Not sitting in the dug out with faces of disinterest. No one seems to care either way.

The only deal I was for was Hamilton, the others I was against. I couldn't imagine Hamilton being this bad. But crap happens and sometimes you make bad decisions the upside though is once you make a bad decision like Hamilton, Pujols, Blanton etc. To not let it burden the entire organization get creative and find your way out of it. Hell make a trade for another bad contract and see what happens or eat part of the contract and go a different direction.

The Cubs will never come back.  They are perennial losers and always will be.  

So was Boston

Good idea. Tell the guy who owns the team, pays your salary and writes the checks that he can't do what he is doing. Don't know why Dipoto didn't think of that before.

 

 

Theo is in his second year. You don't undo a century-plus of bad baseball in less than two years.

I have told my boss a couple times to not to make a deal on something that he wanted to do because my analysis of the deal pointed in the wrong direction. Did I have to stand up to him no, but I did because that is what was best for the business and I strongly believed what I was saying and what I thought. Luckily he listened to me and the company that actually purchased it lost their ass on the deal.

Arte would never cede as much control as Theo received in Chicago.

Why? Arte is the owner but he is not the President.
