Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Indians (7/25/17) - Cowart playing 2B, batting 9th

Grichuk's horrible. You are acting like he is setting the world on fire or something. Clevinger? You need to have more than one good season for a trade to be a mistake.

Guys. I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps the Angels have made some unwise trades.

And you should say the teams that passed on Trout in the 2009 draft unwise and dumb as well. Works both ways.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Pestano was crap.

lol how is Grichuk horrible?  As for Clevinger, even if cleveland gets one good season out of him, it's more contribution than pestano ever did for this organization.

True. Honestly, the Segura trade is the only one that REALLY kills me, because that even seemed like a kinda bad idea at the time.

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo! Cowart has cleanly fielded two grounders at second. Reserve the gold glove.

Sorry but every single time I hear Grichuk's name, I always hear him getting his ass send down to the minors.

Thanks for totally avoiding the question, I win.

No, I answered the question for you. Basically saying he is horrible. Will always be remembered as the guy who was drafted ahead of Trout.

So he's horrible because he was drafted ahead of Trout?  Your logic is horrible.

NO you don't. Not when your compensation is Vinnie FREAKING Pestano!

Well, he is JUST a Trout fan.

No, I am saying that he is horrible when you look at the numbers. And on top of that, since he doesn't play well, people will always see him being picked ahead of Trout as a joke. If you are not producing and the players that were drafted behind you becomes stars, people will bring that up.

[TroutField]

That was a pretty sweet change up from Clevinger to strike out Maldonado.

88 ops+. You lose.

[JarsOfClay]

You're not gonna get many scoring opportunities against Clevinger, Roenicke should have sent Simmons there.

[JustATroutFan]

If Grichuk was performing like a star, no one would bring up the fact that he was drafted ahead of Trout.

Ben Revere,  50 ops+, I win.

He would have been out by five steps. Good call, Disarcina.

Grichuk and his 88 OPS+ is soooooo good. Sucks

[TroutField]

No surprise... piss away a scoring opportunity and then give away runs the following half inning. 

 

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

No, you are still losing because Ben Revere is not part of the discussion.
