Cargo

[Erstad Grit]

Damn that dude is on fire. He has essentially been the most productive hitter since the all star break. I wonder what our team would have played like with him.

Marine layer

[tennischmp]

He would have sucked had he come to the Angels

[CaliAngel]

something something marine layer, something something black hole in Anaheim

[fan_since79]

He'd be rolling over pitches and grounding out.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Yeah, i hate to say it, but he would have probably died from mad cow disease once we traded richards and newcomb for him

We haven't had someone have a career ending injury slicing turkey for a while, so I'll go with that one.

He wasn't one of ours, but Clint Barmes broke his collarbone some years back, after falling while carrying a big slab of deer meat up the stairs.

V Wells's complaint that home plate was not aligned properly was the best excuse ever. 

[Second Base]

CarGo may be solid for the Angels, but he costs too much, not only in salary but the prospects it'd take to bring him in.  Thus, anything he might've done in Angels uniform would likely be met with a caveat.....

 

"CarGo has really been solid for the Angels, but they definitely overpaid in prospects and that contract is destined to way them down in the future."

 

I'm actually sort of glad the Angels were able to avoid that sort of scenario.

Trout for CarGo

[Deek]

something, something, Don Baylor...

[Homebrewer]

Hitting .220 with no pre-game scouting reports or advanced metrics, charts, etc.. like he was used to.

Cargo would crash and burn with the Angels.

Good for him. Glad he can stay healthy for once.

You think this is bad yet continue to profess your love for Chris Iannetta's .623 OPS

Eh

[Erstad Grit]

Eh

 

You are ripping on Cargo stating his away stats are weak. I'm pointing out his away stats are still better than anyone on our team not named Trout. But you like catchers who hit under .200 so I'm clearly wasting my time.

You are coming off as a little childish right now 

 

Iannetta has nothing to do with the discussion yet you keep bringing him up.

It's not that I love him, I just think he's better than the board has given him credit for since he's been an angel.

He's definitely not living up to expectations this year, but he is still the angels best option.

 

Back to Cargo. 

At best, he would give the angels an OPS around .800. Most likely can expect an OPS in the low .700s imo.

I would phrase it "at worst Cargo would bring the Angels  an OPS around  .800. " That's nothing to sneeze at.

 

I'm frustrated at watching this team be flushed down the toilet.  Our 7-9 hitters almost just give away a free inning several times a game. I'm not in love with Cargo, but don't really see any options at this point.

okay, I cannot be the only one:

 

Who the F is Cargo?
