Padres Trade Huston Street to the Angels

[HammerDown]

I really hate to see him go to the Angels when they need a closer so bad.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

What would the Padres get I wonder? Something somewhat decent I would think.

Well shit. Two best teams in the AL are in the West. A d coming into the season I thought the Rangers were. Hope Benoit is still on the block.

 

[HammerDown]

No details yet but I certainly hope that they get excellent value. There are no shortages of holes to fill.

Yeah that sucks. Maybe SD at least gets a bat or, better yet, a whole bag of bats.

Probably not a lot. He in the last year of his contract. Team has option for 2015.

The Padres have the best record in baseball when leading after 7 innings. Losing Street and Benoit will guarantee us losing many more games in the second half. No doubt guys in the 'pen are excited about the new opening. Does Benoit go straight to closer?

Powerade is cheap right now. A case of that would be nice too.

If Addison Reed can get the #72 prospect, I would think Street could get more ( not sure how long he is controlled though).

 

[HammerDown]

Hmmm...



So maybe he won't go to the Angels after all. I'd love to see him go to an NL contender NOT named the Giants or Cards.

I think the Padres are the only reason KC isn't undefeated leading after 7 innings...

Mariners and A's must be as glued to twitter as I am if they're not one of "the teams."

Street had been lights-out perfect til giving up the long ball to Morse and blowing the save against the Giants.

On second thought... Towers.

The only thing that matters to me is that he doesn't go to the Giants, Angels or Cardinals.

Last year of the contract... Bummer the Padres FO didn't evaluate their talent level very well last season.

 

[HammerDown]

I think Jim Bowden's twitter account just lost a lot of followers.

I am not touting the talent of Reed, but how is that formally #72 ranked prospect working out for the Whitesox?

Wait, wut? You were under the impression the Padres have a front office?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Word is he didn't want to accompany teammate Tyson Ross' side trip to visit Bill Russell...so they abruptly dumped him.
