Shumway Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm curious who's going to be traded now. Its pretty clear that Bourjos, Trumbo or Morales are being traded for a starter. My money's on Bourjos, as he has the most value, and DiPoto said Trumbo os probably staying put. Then again, DiPoto said the team was set last week.

oddball Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 While all this looks good on paper, I'm looking at the Miami Marlins Part Deux. Both the Dodgers and Angels have assembled players, but not a team. As a fan of both teams, this is setting up for collosal failure. Everyone thougth bringing in Pujols and Wilson last year would make the Angels contenders, and all it did was make them bad, really bad. I really doubt anything is going to change with them. As far as the Dodgers go, again it's just a collection of players. Your big move was to bring in two pitchers who have question marks. Stop and think about Greinke and what he did last year for the Angels, pretty much nothing. Then you turn around and bring in a Korean pitcher that is suppose to do something and you paid close to $10 million (per year - I'm including the posting fee in those numbers) for a 3rd or 4th starter? Look, when you want to look at teams that win championships, the build from within. The Dodgers aren't doing that and neither are the Angels. The Angels have no pitching whatsoever that they've developed, that's really bad. The Dodgers pitching that they developed, Kershaw. I know some people would say Billingsly, but truthfully he hasn't developed into anything but the next Ervin Santana. But to answer Shumway's question as far as trade value. Trumbo is clearly the most tradeable followed by Morales (to an AL team as a DH) and Bourjos who is just another guy with speed that has very little skills and those you can find in every minor league organization.

Kramerica Industries Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Umm, Jered Weaver was a homegrown Angels talent. And Chad Billingsley has done one thing that Ervin Santana has never been able to do - be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Wow. How does signing a 3rd/4th starter for 5 years and $15 mil a year help a rebuilding team which won't compete for at least another year? Did Theo let Hendry make this signing for old time's sake?

Funky Bunky Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Everyone thought bringing in Pujols and Wilson last year would make the Angels contenders, and all it did was make them bad, really bad.Whaaaat? Bringing in Pujols and Wilson didn't make the team bad. They underperformed (a little more so in Wilson's case), but they didn't make the team bad.

TheOldRoman Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well, the Cubs lucked out on this one. Haren is clearly nothing special at this point, but since Marmol only has one year left, I'd say that deal falling apart was a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now do we get to make fun of the Tigers for paying Sanchez even more than what the Cubs were going to?Well, I think we have all accepted that Mike Illitch is teetering on senility and has no problem with throwing around absurdly excessive contracts. However, the Tigers played in the World Series last year. Even though they overpaid, Sanchez makes sense for the Tigers from a personnel standpoint. Not so much with the Cubs.

pmoehrin Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Its looking more and more likely that RA Dickey will be dealt by the Mets for prospects and right now supposedly the leading contender is Toronto.Don't have much more detail then that, but on the surface the deal would seem to make alot of sense for both sides. Toronto could still use another starter and they would certainly have the prospects to make a move for a guy like Dickey who they would be getting a huge discount payroll wise for at least a year. This is a Cy Young winner that's set to earn $5 million next year. That's as good of a bargain as your going to get for a quality starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Arencibia and Gose could be two of pieces I'd figure. Speaking of the Jays, the Hamilton deal makes Bautista's contract look like Bargain. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 And also, Dickey seems to be getting better with age, so he's a pretty sound investment, IMO. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
