I'd definitely be interested in Refsnyder.

He might be a potential solution in LF or at 1B. His defense is not good at 2B so I seriously doubt that is an option, but yeah I could see a claim or a minor trade to acquire him.

I've kind of expected Petit or Hernandez for someone like Refsnyder for awhile.

Maikel Franco has started off nice since the ASB. The guys on MLB Network said he made a change to his swing?

Really want to take a "buy low" flier on him and move Yunel to 1st.

I've kinda wondered if we could pull something big with the Phils involving two of Franco, Herrera, or Hernandez. It'd take a significant prospect package from the Angels, but could clear some salary for the Phils and give the Angels two young players at positions in need with significant upside before the offseason. 

Those players' ages are 24-27. They're virtually prospects, and I'd be fine sacrificing some for them.

Awfully risky for the cost. We'd have to trust Eppler's scouts big time.

The Phillies don't have much of an incentive to sell low on him, though. He's young, doesn't cost much, and is controllable for 4 years.  That's exactly the type of player they need to be building around, even if he's having a down year.

Mariners sending their #6 prospect, Brayan Hernandez, along with three additional prospects, to the Marlins for David Phelps.

Last three aren't expected to be top prospects, but still a lot of farm to give up for a reliever. 

Edit: it will be their #6, #16 (Brandon Miller), and #22 (Pablo Lopez) ranked prospects plus one non-ranked for Phelps.

@Scotty@AW can probably school me on this, but a glance it looks like something comparable to Hermosillo, Jesus Castillo, Jose Rodriguez, and a random no-namer.

Dipeutered being Dipeutered.   I bet Phelps is a rental too?

Off top of head I think he has one more arb year before FA.

Dipoto continues his everlasting quest of trying to build a bullpen

[totdprods]

Eppler should be asking Dipoto what he'd give up for Chavez and Nolasco.

Going for it....

[bloodbrother]

So what would the Phillies or Rays potentially want from the Angels?

If Dipoto was still with the Angels, he would give the Mariners four of the Angels top 10 prospects for Nolasco and Chavez.if the shoe was on the other foot. 

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Huge price to pay for Phelps. Imagine the asking price on Dee Gordon. 

[TroutField]

Dipoto still he absolutely no idea how to build a bullpen. Trading away 4 prospects for one decent arm? Wow

 

 

[totdprods]

Dipoto strikes again. 

Mariners trade OF Tyler O'Neill (their #2 prospect, and a consensus Top 50 prospect in the MLB) to the Cardinals for SP Marco Gonzales, a talented young LHP who can start for them now.

a rental design to make the post... please dont leave that part out.    and a very good one at that.    But most here way over value prospects even over playoff appearances 

See Wood, Brandon.

Dipoto looks well on his way to doing to Seattle what he did for the Angels. He's a great GM for fans though with all the trades he constantly makes so there's always excitement! Sure is thinning that farm out rather quickly again. For the sake of Mariners fans, they better hope he and his staff are better at drafting than they were in Anaheim. Looks like DIpoto has added another starter with injury issues. First they traded for Smyly in the offseason despite the red flags on his shoulder and in the end it left them with a guy who needed TJS just a few months later. Now he's trading for a starter who just had TJS last year

Ooo, Sosh says Franklin is here to fix production at second base. How many hits has had as an Angel. Two and hitting .111 in his first 9 games, so he is off to a hot start.

Sosh has mastered both hyperbole and the understatement. I put little value in his words.
