Same here but dont wanna give up Cron, Green or any of the other guys. Dont want to mess with our offensive dynamic right now... but ya , our #1 need right now is bullpen help more than starting pitching.
We've finally got some quintessential "Angels" guys and they wanna get rid of em Calhoun, Cron, Green :x
15-4 in the last 19 games and 16 games above .500. feels good bros hope garrett finds his way to the asg. he deserves it
lunar vapor trout PE's for the home run derby. not sure if they'll be the same PE's for the ASG edit: just checked the MLB feet thread. the game PE's were posted there
Frustrating how well we are playing but still 4 games behind Oakland 2nd best record in the mlb will guarantee us just a wild card spot
^ That's what I'm saying! Playoffs, maaaaan!!! Hey, guys, how far did that Colon/Vladdy squad get? ALCS?
Ya it sucks that Oakland isnt losing but we just need to take care of business when we see em. I think we see em 7 times next month.
^ I agree and disagree. I disagree because I think we have the talent, the way we are. Just need to make the playoffs, and get hot during the playoffs; focus. I agree because of our bullpen. Make a move or 2 in our bullpen, and I wouldn't argue a bit.
congrats to aybar and trout making the AL team.... GR deserved to go... I hope we continue to play well after the ASG
20 games over hopefully we can keep this up after the break. i think we just need one more arm in the bullpen
Rumors all over twitter about the Angels acquiring Street & Kennedy. Mostly aspiring journalists talking about it though, I'll wait til a major reporter says something though.
how credible is rosenthal? i don't follow mlb rumors like i do with the nba, so i don't know if he's more like woj or more like bucher Spoiler: Angels Trying to Deal for Kennedy, Street Angels Trying To Deal For Kennedy, Street By Charlie Wilmoth [July 13, 2014 at 11:03pm CDT] The Angels are trying to acquire starting pitcher Ian Kennedy and closer Huston Street from the Padres, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes. The two teams have discussed a possible deal for Street, but not yet for Kennedy. Acquiring both players will be tricky for the Angels, Rosenthal suggests, because the Padres control both Kennedy and Street through 2015. They are more inclined to trade players who are eligible for free agency after the season, like Chase Headley and Chris Denorfia. Another potential obstacle is that the Padres’ ownership might hope to quickly build a competitive team — the recent signing of Seth Smith to a two-year extension suggests that the Padres do not wish to rebuild for long. They could potentially trade Headley and Denorfia, but keep Kennedy and Street for next season. The Padres might acquire Triple-A second baseman Taylor Lindsey in a deal for Kennedy and Street, Rosenthal writes. The Angels do not have a strong farm system, so it might be tough for them to assemble the talent needed to swing a big trade, at least not without dealing big-league players of their own. Spoiler: Rosenthal's Latest Rosenthal’s Latest: Angels, Orioles, Reds, Indians By Brad Johnson [July 12, 2014 at 7:26pm CDT] In his latest video, Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports says it would be “just like” Angels owner Arte Moreno to acquire David Price. Since L.A. lacks a prospect of Addison Russell‘s quality, they will need to trade somebody off their major league roster. Rosenthal mentionsC.J. Cron and Tyler Skaggs as likely suspects, but he suggests that price may be too steep for the contending Angels. Here’s more from Rosenthal. If the Angels do fall short on Price, they could turn their attention to acquiring a reliever like Rangers closer Joakim Soria.
^ seen that, Rosenthal is more than credible. and Ska, I think it was you that asked if anyone had any extra giveaways? I have a Trumbo and a CJ bobblehead from last year somewhere around here. They're yours if i can find them.
word. hopefully i kept it after my last move. i gotta look through some old boxes in my garage and i'll let you know
Aww damn, ska. I just threw away the angels Hula girl Bobblehead My bad! Apparently our plan B would be Papelbum Please get Street.
really hoping for street. pap is due $13M next year and i wouldn't put it past arte to push for him in other news, mike scioscia's favorite closer frieri already has a 13.50 era through 7 games with pit. addition by subtraction
