What do you think of johan

When he stayed healthy for the mets, he had around a 3.1 ERA. But the vast majority of the time he wasn't healthy. If we can get him for 2 year and around 6-8 million with a lot of incentives then I'm all for it. Whatever brings martin perez closer to his ceiling I'm down for

Hear anything else on choo

Terps... have you heard Santana's name mentioned? Evan Grant named him as a possibility if we were to sign Tanaka.

Ya I just spoke about it about 10 minutes ago. We want to give him an incentive laden deal. I don't really know what he would have to do with tanaka though

Back to baseball...

Just to give you even more evidence of what a laughable joke the Angels front office is, they are now focusing on acquiring Tyler Skaggs from Arizona for Mark Trumbo. Yes, the same Tyler Skaggs they traded away to Arizona in 2010 along with Joe Saunders and Patrick Corbin for Dan Haren. Assuming the trade does happen, the final trade ledger for those 2 teams reads:

DBacks- 2 years of Saunders, 2 years of Skaggs, Corbin, Trumbo

Angels- 2 years of Haren

They essentially gave away Patrick Corbin and Mark Trumbo for free. Imagine if they hadn't gutted their team of their youth and traded for and signed a bunch of overrated bums and rentals. Hell, allow them the CJ Wilson overspend even. Their team would be:

Weaver
Corbin
Wilson
Saunders
Skaggs

C- Napoli
1B- Trumbo
2B- Kendrick
SS- Segura
3B- ?????
LF- Trout
CF- Bourjos
RF- Hunter
DH- Calhoun

Not signing Pujols and Hamilton and not trading for Wells would have given them TONS of money to buy a top 3B, another top SP, maybe a reliever, AND retain Hunter and Napoli. That team would be AL West favorites.

Thank God Arte Moreno and Tony Reagins are/were greedy idiots.

Napoli wouldn't be playing catcher, he's done at that position, DH maybe

Nope. We're supposed to offer tonight and he is expected to sign with seattle because our price and his price arent anywhere close to eachother

wrong santana. He was referring to Carlos. (indians)

 

[terpsfball09]

Oh carlos santana. No I have not. The only time I have ever heard us talking to the indians was back at the trade deadline, and that was discussions for either ubaldo or masterson

I'm talking about Carlos, not Johan.


edit: just saw your post

Just asked and his response was "no, idk of any talks with cleveland at all right now, but I'm a fan of santana as well, good leader!"

Seems like he would be a great fit. Switch hitter, and great OBP. He would do damage in our park. He keeps getting better too. His AVH and OBP have gone up each year. Doubles machine

 

[terpsfball09]

Yes, but doesn't necessarily solve the outfield dilemma

 

[Hambombs]

Makes no sense why doesn't he just sign with Seattle lol

 

[terpsfball09]

We haven't offered yet. Maybe he thinks we'll surprisingly blow him away tonight, or maybe he thinks that giving it one more day will make a mystery team jump in. As far as I've heard, its been just us det and sea

 

[Justinkm83]

I think it's because he doesn't want to go to Seattle.

 

[Justinkm83]

No, but he would solve the DH dilemma. Why couldn't we trade for him to be the DH and start Choice in LF? It seems we're going to add only 1 bat anyways, even though we need 2.

Well, I think it depends what you want. Should we sign cruz and let moreland dh? Or should we trade for a santana or an EE and let choice play left

Ah gotcha. Hopefully our offer is competitive enough.


Yeah I figured. But sti he should
Sign with the team that's going to compete

 

[terpsfball09]

Like I said earlier about choo, he is familiar with a school system here (he has a couple of kids already) and he thinks we are ready to win, where seattle probably needs another year to develop their young pitching regardless of what else they do. I think he would take less money to play for us, just not significantly less like I'm hearing we are gonna offer
