Yeah I know, I wouldn't count out a trade if the right pieces come back. Is trout the CF or LF?

Finally got rid of izturis.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trumbo is moved, but I wouldn't count on it. And Trout will be LF.

Hunter to the Tigers. 2 years for $26 million

[WhatUSaid]

That's fine. Hunter seems like a good guy, he's got to do what he's got to do.

I'm not too upset all things considered. I was never really big into him offensively. He played great after sliding into the 2 hole. Could he have continued that? Angels couldn't afford to see him fall off a cliff.

It's a big risk.

#Trout4MVP. Don't screw it up BBWAA.

Season officially over now. On to 2013.

Morales for Stanton.

Morales for Stanton.

Assuming you're talking about Giancarlo, it'll never happen unless Loria loses his mind. Morales is 29 entering his final year under club control while Giancarlo is 23 and not even eligible for arbitration. Not to mention Morales sucks and Giancarlo is on the verge of becoming a superstar.

Nononono mike Stanton.

Mike Stanton is Giancarlo Stanton. He prefers to go by Giancarlo now.

Yeah I know. I was talking about mike Stanton the relief pitcher.

I assumed you were talking about Giancarlo because many Angel fans this time of year like to throw out ridiculous trade scenarios that have no chance at happening. Either way, that shouldn't be sarcasm. I'd take a bag of dog [expletive] over any relief pitcher we have now.

Messing around. We have nothing to talk about. I'm bored.

If the marlins are giving guys away why give us Stanton? It's only a matter of time before they trade him. I've never heard of a life long marlin.

Club friendly contract and signed through 2016 is the reason why he isn't going to be traded. Even if he was available, the Angels don't have the pieces to work something out. Our farm system wasn't in great shape before Trout was called up and before the Greinke trade. Now it's one of the worst in the majors.

In others news, we're interested in Kyuji Fujikawa. I've never been a fan of Japanese pitchers, but this guy requires no posting fee so I guess it's worth looking into.

Yeah I hear you.

About the minors. We've had so many good/can't miss prospects who failed. I kinda feel they aren't rating us higher because of that. Rightfully so.

Pitching in the minors is non existent.

[WhatUSaid]

Bring him on.

Extremely happy. I've wanted Madson for some time, but knew the Phillies would never trade him. I didn't expect us to sign him last year either because Arte claimed we had very little to spend. I would have preferred we didn't get him after TJS, but it's not as difficult to overcome as it was 10 years ago.

Yep. I read he's already throwing on flat ground.

Good pick up for you guys. Solid reliever.

No Greinke? WTF? Who's starting?
