I thought I was an optimist until I read this. I just don't like bullpen at all. I'm thinking with all things evening out after last year, this is an 85 win ball club.

Well, I wrote "if the bullpen coalesces." So that's a big if. But I figure that with all of the options the Angels have, it should at least be decent. Maybe Banuelos, Campos, and Pounders can come in and do something.

I could also see Eppler trading one of Cron or Marte for bullpen help.

I figure we add two more arms, a MLB deal for a lefty and a ST invite for an old vet starter.

I'm not opposed to dealing Cron or Marte, but if all it returns is a RP then I think I'd cry. I mean talk about selling low on Cron. The guy is a major breakout candidate and the market is flush with 1B right now.

What if 2016 was his actual breakout?

Agreed. No way I would trade Cron for a RP.

If I could get the equivalent to Bedrosian for Cron I would do it.  But I wouldn't trade him for a Joquin Benoit type of dude.
