I’m bored. Here’s a trade to help those nice Twins and restock our farm as much as possible in one move….

Twins get Ward, Rengifo, Anderson, Garcia and 10M in cash to help their strapped budget.

We get Zebby Matthews (AAA, SP, 55 Grade), Gabriel Gonzalez (A+ OF 50 Grade) Andrew Morris (AA SP 45 Grade but will rise this year) Marco Raya (SP AA 50 Grade), Noah Cardenas (C AA 40 grade) and Ben Ross (Util AA 45 grade. Has power and plays everywhere.)

We root for the Twins in the post season and have at least 5 50 grades in the farm.

I get the feeling that we will be keeping Ward, Rengifo, and Anderson but dealing Garcia and maybe Strickland

Considering we have 5+ guys we could move, I’m starting to legitimately worry that we won’t move anyone else. Can Perry really swing that many trades in such few hours? Is Arte letting him? This seller’s market needs to be taken advantage of fully

Sam Bachman July………any news with inside his numbers?

4 starts – 2.91 ERA – 21.2 innings – 1 HR – 13 walks – 20 K’s – hitting .167 against – whip 1.15… went 6 innings 2 times , 7 innings 1 time, 2 2/3 in in another.

If he gets his walks down, at that level, then he may have enough control to go twice through the order against realmenof baseball. That’s the likely thinking. If he get/keeps that WHIP down by one…. though if we drain the whole pitching staff we could also see him Friday…. life a trip carnal.

I think he has lowered his walks lately . In His last start he pitched 6 innings struck out 8 and walked 0. Those walk nos above are being skewed by his start on July 21 where he lasted only 2-2/3 innings but walked 7 batters. In his other 6 starts (including his last one) since Mid June Bachman has only walked 9 batters in 33 innings (an acceptable 2.45 BB/9) while striking out 31 for a 3.45 K/BB ratio and a similar 2.72 ERA.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets the call up this weekend especially if Trader Perry moves TA tomorrow

gitchogritchoffmypettis

Reply to  Cowboy26

Yah. Way things are now we may see him. I’ve been following his starts and I know he’s on an up tick. He’s also seen MLB batters, which helps get him back up. I just know the broad, general guideline is that you’d like to see three strait starts where he looks really good “the same way” before you bring him up. Looks like a prospects has his brain in order.

I guess Perry heard the Crashers and decided not to be AA’s little bitch this time. Farhan must have got jealous.

Getting his start on the Mean Streets of SB…getting dirty with some of that IE grittiness. I like it. Assume if all goes well, onward and upward, maybe a Panda by year’s end?

Or an Anaheim dweller.

Schanuel signed earlier so he got 3 games at the Arizona Complex and 2 games at the iE before moving to Madison for the entire month of August last year. At some point I’m sure he’ll get elevated to AA but I wonder if the Angels will add him in September when rosters slightly expand.

Kikuchi has a 4.75 ERA and is a rental …We gotta trade Anderson, have to

The Blue Jays’ exact return is unknown, but it is expected to include touted pitching prospect Jake Bloss… It is also expected to include two more prospects, according to a league source.

I like the Jays side of this one. The Jays are one of our direct competitors in the race for the ping pong champagne. Perry needs to combat this move and deal Anderson and Heefo.

Yah, the Jays, at least to start, fleeced the Astros on this trade.

I do think that, this year and last, a lot of GMs were really struck by how few teams were really interested in moving “big names” because they were within spitting distance of a wild card. The Snakes post season last year can’t have helped with that.

I kind of get it. When I heard the rumors of what the Sox were asking for Crochet I was a bit barfy. A guy with a single half season of great pitching…. when his real skill seems to be rehabing or taking it easy to avoid rehabing…. Sure, he could potentially be really good for a team for years… but his track record is thin for the asking price.

Then he comes out and states he’ll need an extension….

It’s a tough time for GMs that were used to just trading for Verlander and going for the WS.

Who did the Angels get in return, or did Perry just gift Estevez to the Phils?

Cleveland got their outfielder, Dodgers got their Swiss army player.

Ward and Rengifo are still on the Angels roster.
